IMO there is no difference between what they want and a Dictator .. which is a far cry of what Our Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the Constitution ..

I do not claim to be an expert on the Constitution but I think when the Founding Fathers wrote it their intention was to keep a balance of government

I oftent wonder about whether or not a lot of Bush fans wouldn't like a Dictatorship themselves. I concerns me when they cheer actions of his without a thought as to how they'd oppose those actions if a Democrat took them. And sooner or later, another Democrat will be in the White House, with all of those same powers and precedents of Bush's lining his or her path. What then?

As far as understanding the Constitution, the 10th Ammendment is a great place to look to for the spirit of it...

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

I understand your point which is why I am not saying it is wrong with questioning policies made by President Bush. There have been a few things that when it first happen that raised my eyebrows .. but I have also learned that I shouldn't just jump on the band wagon and to get all the facts first ..

Is President getting everything he wants done right away .. No he isn't but I also think he also know that he won't get it either .. which is why he gets want he can now .. and continues to work on getting the rest ..

As for the 10th Ammendment .. I didn't say I didn't understand the Constitution .. I just said I was not an expert ..

Now I must rescue the hubby at the pool with the kiddies ..
