Let go of the ConstitutionWheee!!! Let go of the Constitution should we? Tell me, why bother fighting then? What exactly would we be fighting for? Safety? Freedom? You let go of the Constitution and you'll have one of them I promise you. In the past, the United States have steered away from the Constitution and in every instance the excuse given was for some greater cause whether it be 'saving the union' or 'extending freedom from our shores'. And in every instance, EVERY ONE!! more freedoms have been taken away from the citizens of the respective states that belong to this union. All for 'greater good'. Thanks, but no thanks. I kind of like my freedom, I like being able to say what I feel and go where I go without the general government following me every step of the way. Like they don't do that already!!

These are extraordinary times. I rekkun my comment has gotten misabsorbed by some folks. "Lett go of the Constitution" implies that there are times that man must stand and trust what is in his heart and not what is on paper. All you folks would give the terrorists there day in court is what I see going on here and using the Constitution and War Powers Acts as smoke screens to allow those who disagree with the methods and manners of waging war on terrorism be throttled so we can fight a "Proper" war. If I messed with your minds, Sorry, I know what Im meant to say, but didn't add enough to flesh it out.
