Why don't Republicans care what Bush has done to our Constitutional rights?

Question

The 4th Amendment guarantees the right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures. The US courts have held that a wiretap is an unreasonable search unless it is executed upon a valid warrant. The US congress has held such as being so unreasonable that it has passed the following laws that guarantee limits upon the execution of surveillance, investigation and record keeping by use of communication, telecommunication and records (including dossiers and case files):

The Telecommunications Privacy Act of 1984 (TPA)
The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA)
The Privacy Act of 1974
The Wire And Electronic Communications Interception And Interception Of Oral Communications
The Wireless Telecommunications Privacy Act of 2000
The Freedom of Information Act


So, not only has Mr. Bush violated the Constitution, his oath or office, but also (at a minimum) six federal laws. In so doing, he has violated his duties and obligations as the chief execu

as the chief executive officer of this great nation and should be impeached. However, like his father before him, George W. Bush has wrapped himself in a cloak of patriotism, protectionism and fascism in the name of national interests and security. He has lied, misled and/or relied upon inappropriate intelligence DATA to engage in an improper invasion of a sovereign nation, violated the UN Charter (which is part and parcel of our Constitution by law), has circumvented our fundamental rights, and portrays himself as our great protector. Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Franco, Khomeini, the Saudi Royal Family and the Taliban all made the same claims of protection, but even Mr. Bush has recognized their actions as contrary to fundamental liberties, democracy and basic human rights.

MELT...
The 9th Amendment limits all members of government, including the president, from exceeding the powers and authority provided by the Constitution. These limits include any and all efforts to usurp, circumvent and/or by-pass the rights of US citizens and residents. The 9th Amendment specifically reserves all rights not specifically assigned elsewhere to the state governments and the PEOPLE. Mr. Bush’s claims that he has authority to spy upon US citizens and residents by virtue of an executive order betrays his “anything I want to do” agenda and his fascist demeanor.

The 14th Amendment, in the first section, applies all federal protections and obligations under the Constitution to state governments (equal protection) and specifically reasserts the obligation of due process.

arcticchi... That is done so with your knowledge of it...thats the difference

Answer 1

Maybe belief in myths about a good one in heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth creates blind obedience, flawed character, and misguided loyalty that are capable of best satisfying the need and aspiration of a mercenary plutocratic predatory few to achieve and maintain authority, power, order and control. In the minds of those who are enslaved to the will of ideological authorities claiming to know the will of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth, the idea of making a terrorist attack upon infidels could easily become equated with fighting evil and if death should come as a result then this could be equated with becoming a martyr on the way to gaining entry to Heaven and experiencing divine bliss for the rest of Eternity. From these kinds of equations follows a global shakedown of epic proportions some call a "war on terror". This is a form of extortion where in a mercenary plutocratic predatory few that profit from the sale and manufacture of the products and services of a beast of a military industrial complex patronize or give funding to those ideological authorities who best lead communities of faithful believers into war with one another over differences of opinions in matters of faith. Maybe religious fundamentalists need to produce a belief that myths about the discovery, word, will and law of an angry perfectionistic judgmental masculine god are true in order to maintain authority, power, order and control over faithful communities and motivate their members to support the establishment of a theocracy. Maybe such a theocracy could be expected to function in practice as a front for a global shakedown of epic proportions some call a 'war on terror' that serves to concentrate the wealth of the global culture into the hands of a mercenary plutocratic predatory few that prey upon the many of our global culture.

Answer 2

The President is allowed to get warrants even AFTER the fact-this one refuses to get them at all. So those that say he's protecting us from terrorists. No Democrats have a problem with the wiretaps-but there should be warrants. Democrats DO believe the president should have the power-but not warrantless! This president wants no oversight-not even from the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Answer 3

The courts have held that the Executive Branch has the right to perform warranties surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes over and over and over. Every President has taken advantage of this Article 2 right including Clinton and Carter. So the idea that Bush is destroying the Constitution is smoke. FISA may actually be overturned as unconstitutional, because of this argument.

Unfortunately the courts do not agree with you. Please see sealed case 02-001 that states this:

The Truong court, as did all the other courts to have decided the issue, held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information...We take for granted that the President does have that authorityand, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President’s constitutional power.

Answer 4

permit's see, ..... you think of that as quickly as legislations has been created that violates the form, then the form now no longer concerns. Boy, it incredibly is a neat trick. what share rules have been struck down by capacity of the U. S. ultimate courtroom, and the different courts? each and every time that the courtroom declared a undeniable regulation to be a contravention of a few thing interior the U. S. shape, replaced into the form quickly lifeless in between the time while the regulation surpassed and signed and the time it replaced into struck down? Or are you purely a drama queen?

Answer 5

Most republicans seem to have no clue as to what is in the constitution and believe that Bush is their personal hero.

The facts are different. Bush has broken many federal and International laws including the worst law of all, a needless, pre-meditated attack on another soveriegn state.

However, the Democrats stood by and acted as Bush's cheerleeder for the invasion. they have stood by and allowed every breach of law that Bush has done and approved every damn one.

Bush, the Republicans and the Democrats should ALL be charged with treason.

Answer 6

They have stopped to realize what America is about.America isn't about worshiping the great perfect leader and calling everyone who criticizes him a traitor.
The republicans,more precise Bush and his collaborators have brought shame on your beautiful nation.The republicans are blinded as the people in the former Eastern block once were.Their leader is perfect ,all his actions are perfect.Anyone who says differently is a traitor.Sad,very,very sad.
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does NOT mean to stand by the President or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."
Theodore Roosevelt

Answer 7

Because Fox news hasn't told them it's happened yet . Bush has hurt us worse than the Taliban . The Republicans are the best at spinning the Truth around to fit their needs . But lying picking up on young boys and running the war , I mean money machine is all they are good at .

Answer 8

I admit I'm a bit naive, but I don't worry about it. Privacy in this day and age is an illusion. Grocery stores track what you buy. Your employer tracks your web usage....the list goes on and on.

Answer 9

More U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq than the number of people killed in the World Trade Center.

Someone needs to speak up.
