Answer 3

Our executive branch was so terrified by what was happening to our people while flying around in Air Force One on 9/11, that they decided to suspend human rights, in order to protect us.

Wrong, but understandable.

Human rights is who and what we are ... otherwise we are no better than any enemy.

Treason was committed by the guards at Abu Grahab prison, they should be treated as traitors ... because they stand against America. But, they were encouraged by people higher up.

Congress has allowed to much degradation of Freedom, but, I understand why ... sometimes I hear of a new bombing atrocity and I think we should terrorize the terrorists by nuking the home village of each terrorist that we find. If they want terror, give it to them. I'm tired of them ... and their abject stupidity. God doesn't love them and they are NOT Godly or good men!

I wouldn't really nuke villages ... but that's what I feel like sometimes!

Back to the question ... Our legislators are human too, and they have made big mistakes by letting human rights down ... they are correcting that now ... and you can vote for a democratic congress, or at least a balance ... wake up!

Yours truly;

Answer 4

None of them have actually violated any part of the Constitution - people seem to forget that... now what I will say is Bush has tried, unsuccessfully because every time he has tried someone has called him on it.. he has gone so far as to say the Constitution is nothing but a piece of paper... but as of to date.. no one has violated any part of the Constitution. There are laws they do have to follow, and it will go to the Supreme Court if anything passed ever violated any part of our Constitution. It has a lot more power than I think people think or remember.

Answer 5

1. Education is a state function, not a federal one. The Dept. of Education should not exist.

2. Only Congress has the power to declare war. Since 1950 the Congress has ditched their responsibility by drafting resolutions allowing the President to use armed force to resolve political crises (Korea, Viet Nam, Granada, Panama, Iraq I, Iraq II).

Answer 6

Congress should be recalled. It is about to be recalled in November. For 6 years now Congress has not served the people, that is about to change.The inquiry focuses on lobbying contracts worth $1 million that Weldon's daughter, Karen Weldon, obtained from foreign clients and whether they were assisted by the congressman, they said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidentiality of the criminal investigation.
Weldon, a 10-term Republican from the Philadelphia suburbs, long has denied any wrongdoing, and his top aide said Saturday no one had notified him of an investigation.
"I think if there was an investigation, somebody would have contacted us," said Russ Caso, Weldon's chief of staff.
Last week, we watched as several senators voted for a bill redefining the treatment, detention, and trials of enemy combatants, even as they expressed doubts as to its constitutionality. The bill setting up military tribunals for enemy combatants, among other constitutional infirmities, contains a provision stripping courts of their power to review the constitutionality of the detentions. This provision, which suspends the writ of habeas corpus for current and future detainees, was contested by a number of senators, but the amendment that sought to excise it from the final bill failed by a vote of 51-49.
Before that amendment was rejected, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, announced, "I'm not going to support a bill that's blatantly unconstitutional ... that suspends a right that goes back to [the Magna Carta in] 1215." He added, "I'd be willing, in the interest of party loyalty, to turn the clock back 500 years, but 800 years goes too far."

Answer 7

I don't have all night to list all the ways, but in short, they are supposed to be looking out after the interests of the people they are supposed to be representing. But, for the most part, they don't do that.

Rather, they look out after the interests of the special interest groups who fund their campaigns.

They also cast their votes according to whichever way they think that if they vote will help insure their re-election. Not according to what they think the majority of the people they are representing would vote.

The things that are important to us, the little guys in our everyday life? They could care less. That is not what the Constitution says.

Answer 8

nonetheless, our founding fathers had the expertise to contain separation of church and state interior the form. Why? because of fact whether all of our voters have been Christian (and that they are no longer), there are too many ameliorations between the denominations to discover one agreeable sufficient to anybody to be an actual state faith. What could you want our faculties to be? Catholic? Baptist? Mormon? those are all Christian denominations, yet they have such super ideological ameliorations we'd to boot be speaking approximately Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists. it quite is why we've separation of church and state. that is on your secure practices, to permit you to worship on the church of your determination and not be compelled to pass to a state-subsidized church. A state faith could be as undesirable for Christians because it could be for non-Christians, given which you may no longer have actual freedom of religion. in actuality, i'm getting a relax every time I type the phrases "state" and "faith" lower back to lower back, on the grounds that word reeks of Orwellian totalitarianism.

Answer 9

think if you all studied the matter carefully, you would see that the constitution is being followed to the letter. Just because you disagree with something that is being done, is no reason to claim that it is unconstitutional. The problem with the constitution is that it is an archaeic document that needs to be updated
