It will matter much more if, and when, they advise him to take one step too far. The courts have begun to put their foot down. It may be a matter of time.
Remember, that is what the judicial branch of our government is for. As for the other branch of government, this November gives the electorate a chance to have our say.
Yes, the constitution matters very much.

He has gone beyond the separation of powers and it is a dangerous precedent to allow one man to circumvent both Congress and the US Supreme Court, which he is not!
Bush has always felt above the law, and thinks the Constitution is "Just a piece of paper"!
Bush is a Fascist evil sicko who has excused himself from 802 laws! Sure, filing slips is not uncommon, but he has signed more than 3 times the number of all the other presidents combined.
What is even worse, he excused himself from the Patriot Act which he helped draft, and he can violate the constitution anyway he sees fits, or so he thinks!! Has he ever won a US Supreme Court case? Maybe 1! War on Terror! Now that is a joke! There is no such thing, and if it were it would not be in Iraq!
Next time you neocon jerko's who want this war so much so your friends can get rich, ask Bush and the Congress why they are cutting Iraqi widow benefits from $25,000, to a live -under- a- Bridge $13,000? You support the troops alright! Any soldier who would lay down his life for the likes of you are nuts! You aren't wirth it! You are the ones who should be coming home in body bags!!!
Don't you wish you could pick whichlaws you would follow and which you would not??

The Supreme Court has the final say on interpreting the Constitution. However, that does not mean that Bush can't have his own interpretation. Suppose we blindly followed the Supreme Court's interpretation, then how would we have ever overturned Plessy v Ferguson (separate but equal) with Brown v Board of Education?
Theoretically, Bush's interpretation might be correct according to the newly constituted court. It is up to them to affirm their prior decisions or to re-interpret with the changing times and to agree with Bush.

The Constitution is the Creator of American Government. The President has absolutely no lawful authority beyond what is granted to him in that document. It is the Supreme Law of the Land and any government player who intentionally subverts it is guilty of Treason and is a domestic enemy of America.

Yes, because it provides us the means to elect new representatives and hold the President responsibile for his failure to uphold the Constitution and see that the laws are faithfully executed.
