http://www.atlargely.com/2008/03/we-have-a-f---.htmlWe have a F--- Constitutional Crisis!This is called an impeachable offense, another one - one of many ignored by Congress:
"President Bush quietly has claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant.
Bush asserted the new authority Dec. 20 after signing legislation that overhauls some postal regulations. He then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open mail under emergency conditions, contrary to existing law and contradicting the bill he had just signed, according to experts who have reviewed it."
I just want Congress to collectively answer two questions: Is the president above the law? Or is it that only George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are above the law? Just think of this as a civics lesson and try to explain your reasons for violating your oath of office, turning your back on the Constitution and country alike to the future, to your grandkids, to history itself really.
Congress may as well just save us the pretense. We don't need the insult to go along with the injury - really an ocean of injuries to go along with an ocean of insults. Just save us the spin, Dearest Congress, and declare your abdication formally, because we are in a Constitutional crisis and we need to know what pieces are left on the board before we - the people - proceed. I don't know what options are left to us as all avenues have been shut. The president is above the law and there is no justice for all.
If I sound angry, then you have read this dead on. I left the Soviet Union only to find myself back where I came from. The label might say America, but it is clear that America is a long forgotten dream and the government now only plays the role of official embezzler as it moves public funds - our money - into the hands of private corporations. There is no system of checks and balances. There is no Constitutional democracy. There is just a void, a big, fat ground zero filled with dead bodies, greed, and treachery.
