Was it the Bush election? Did they mention anything about the electoral colleges? Help.

Well it's kinda hard to pull this stuff out of memory but I am thinking of December 2004 when the R party tried to do away with filabusters... they were going to have to change the constitution and it was a big fight for months.
If they had gotten away with that, think about it... that would basically mean everytime one party had the majority, we would have a parliament.
Let me go see if I can find an old article and give you a link:

The Constitution was important in 2004 because all disputes must be settled within the bounds of the Constitutions and not just based on assumptions and conjectures.

Well since the USA Patriot Act in 2001, the suspension of Habeus Corpus, the torture and 'disappearance' of prisoners, the eavsdropping on American citizens without authorisation, and the President's belief that certain laws do not apply to him, the Constitution has pretty much been ignored. And you know if you don't like the way we do things, you must be a terrorist supporter.

It wasn't important at all to the Bush administration. Except when they needed to undermine it.
