Andrew Sullivan today on his blog condemns Bush/Cheney guilty of violating our trust and the world's trust in the execution of the war on terror and the molestation of the U.S. Constitution ...
"These mistakes were compounded - and in large part created - by what I believe will one day be seen as the core event of the last eight years: the collapse of constitutional order and the rule of law fomented in a mixture of hubris and laziness by the president himself. It is now indisputable that the president and vice-president of the United States engineered a de facto coup against the constitution after 9/11, declaring themselves above any law, any treaty, and any basic moral norm in their misguided mission to rid the world of evil. This blog has watched this process with increasing dismay - and watched several attempts to bring the US back to sanity foiled by a relentless and unhinged vice-president's office." -- read more
I agree. Bush/Cheney and a majority of GOP lackey dogs, and hypnotized Democrats followed this administration into the most vile abuses of power and put liberty itself at risk for the US and the world. When they decided on their own to suspend, twist and rewrite the rules dealing with civil liberties, administering war, gathering intelligence, and the treatment of POW's and detainees, they in essence spat on over 200 years of American history, pride and blood. It will take some time and a whole lot of work to dig us out of the mess. It will also take some time to dust of the Bill of Rights and reestablish The Constitution as the foundation of this America, and the America the founding fathers hoped us to be. We The People deserve better than what we've had over the last eight years. Remember this if not anything else tomorrow when you vote. Who is best to bring the rule of law, humanity and the spirit of our nation back up to that beacon on the hill that the world looks toward for hope.
Vote.
