I’ve talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they
all confirm that the President of the United States called the
Constitution “a goddamned piece of paper.”
And, to the Bush Administration, the Constitution of the United States
is little more than toilet paper stained from all the shit that this
group of power-mad despots have dumped on the freedoms that “goddamned
piece of paper” used to guarantee.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, while still White House counsel,
wrote that the “Constitution is an outdated document.”
Put aside, for a moment, political affiliation or personal beliefs. It
doesn’t matter if you are a Democrat, Republican or Independent. It
doesn’t matter if you support the invasion or Iraq or not. Despite
our differences, the Constitution has stood for two centuries as the
defining document of our government, the final source to determine –
in the end – if something is legal or right.
Every federal official – including the President – who takes an oath
of office swears to “uphold and defend the Constitution of the United
States."
I'd call him on that and ask if he's trying to perjure himself. Or is
that not reasonable?
Expletive.
