OHIO MARK <<President Bush never presented himself as the messiah, the chosen one, the one sent by God to make things right.>>
Nor, to my knowledge, has Barack Obama or any of his supporters ever made such a silly claim. <<and anyone with half a functioning brain cell knows that in fact it is the dems who hold the constitution in contempt. unfairness doctrine, hate speech, religious suppression, gun bans, and on and on.>> I have no doubt whatsoever but that you're entirely right. But to those of us with a full complement of fully functioning brain cells (and to those of us who have actually READ the Constitution), the truth of the matter is quite different. There are numerous examples, but to take just one: Amendment Article IV clearly states that, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Nowhere in that law or anywhere else in the Constitution, either explicit or implied, is there anything even remotely resembling a "Bush Exemption" or a "War On Terror Exception" to it and other fundamental rights, or to the express requirement of the government to first obtain a warrant from a judge, based upon probable cause, supported by oath, etc, etc, before searching us (ie, looking into our houses, breaking into our computers, listening in on our phone calls, etc). Everything we are as a Republic is summed up in that document. And the first duty of any President --- as stated in his Oath of Office --- is to "...Preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." A duty and an oath that President Bush has clearly violated! ======================================================================= On Jan 31, 6:50 am, Ohio mark <[email protected]> wrote: > President Bush never presented himself as the messiah, the chosen one, > the one sent by God to make things right. and anyone with half a > functioning brain cell knows that in fact it is the dems who hold the > constitution in contempt. unfairness doctrine, hate speech, religious > suppression, gun bans, and on and on. > > On Jan 31, 12:38 am, Lobo <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > OHIO MARK > > > LOL!!! > > > NOW, after 8 nightmare years of the Right blindly goosestepping to the > > beat of the most out of control president in our history cracking down > > on the most fundamental American civil liberties, and contemptuously > > treating the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights > > as, at best, an annoyance...
