bush took an oath to defend the Constitution. Why has he tried to circumvent it at every opportunity?

Question

Bush doesn't have any concept of the 4th amendment for starters neocons.

Answer 1

to him it is just a piece of paper....

Answer 2

Executive privilege. Just like Nixon. At least Nixon resigned. Bush is too stupid and the democrats won't impeach him because that would make Cheney President....(The evil one). Plus, the democrats don't have the intelligence nor the gonads to prosecute the criminals in the Bush administration. They are all in on it obviously!

Oh...for you morons that need a link or proof that Bush circumvents the U.S. Constitution...where have you been the past 6 1/2 years? Under a rock...You need proof? You haven't been watching the news? You haven't heard Bush 's speeches? Are you kidding me? You haven't been reading the news, from all available sources? Try googling it or use the yahoo search engines...you will find all the proof you don't want...do be so lazy and make us patriots do all your work! Get now...run along....do your school work. I did mine.

Answer 3

I don't believe I can answer that Question. However I do want to express my opinion on that subject. I have been calling for his impeachment for over a year. But today he did the unforgivable. He put his religious beliefs above the will and well being of the people. He sends people to war knowing some will die. But he weighs it out and if not to do so would be worse for the country then it is necessary. Some die to save many. So is not the same thing true of embryos. Is it not a small price to pay to save millions. They only want to use those which are abandoned. I should that the person that owns the embryos should be able to deside. .

Answer 4

Wah, Wah, Wah, Bush is Evil... Get off it already! He isn't running for re-election and quite frankly is no different than any other politician when it comes to the constitution. They all view it as a worthless outdated piece of paper and will do whatever they want.

Let me ask this...If you Democrats and Bush haters care so much about the Bill of Rights.. Why are you constantly attacking the 2nd Amendment? And not holding your fellow demotards feet to the fire when they do?

Answer 5

Since when has any government office burst into your home and done an illegal search and seizure and got away with it? Since when has this EVER happened under the Bush administration? Are you afraid that the Patriot Act will uncover that you have to buy milk at the grocery store in a phone call or that you have irregular bowel movements in your doctor's records?
I could just imagine, president Bush personally listenting in on my phone conversations and busting into my house, good one little fella!
I love the support you give, it makes it so easy to show your ignorance of the world around you.

Answer 6

well some people (exxon, saudi arabia) pay a lot to get a president elected. he then does what they want. that's the system. if the pres yells 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, the courts and congress get so afraid of looking weak they ignore the constitution and the people who elect them and appoint them. you can be impeached for a b***j** but not for wiping your a** on the constitution.

Answer 7

The Bush family is all about Plundering. This time around they are bankrupting the Nation to stuff the pockets of their wealthy friends in weapons, oil, etc. The Constitution is just a nuisance to W, and is easily brushed aside, especially when he had a rubber stamp Republican Congress working along with him.

Answer 8

Doug Thompson, publisher of Capitol Hill Blue, says he's talked to three people present last month when Republican Congressional leaders met with President Bush in the Oval Office to talk about renewing the Patriot Act. That act, passed by legislators who hadn't read it, in the immediate aftermath of 9-11 (when most people were shell-shocked and lawmakers in particular disinclined to use their brains), has of course been criticized as containing unconstitutional elements. All three GOP politicians quote their president as saying: "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"

At least one of Thompson's sources says the president, when told his insistence on preserving some provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives following the Harriet Miers Supreme Court nomination disaster, stated, "I don't give a goddamn: I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

Have you ever read, "The One Percent Doctrine" it details EVERYTHING also "Static". UNBELIEVABLE, what the mainstream hides from the public. Including Bush admitting to things he has done and said that they lied about!!

The president claims an inherent power to imprison American citizens whom he has determined to be this country's enemies without obtaining a warrant, letting them hear the charges against them, or following other safeguards against wrongful punishment guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Under his administration, the government has engaged in inhumane treatment of prisoners that amounts to torture — and when Congress passed legislation to ban such treatment, he declared he would simply interpret the law his own way. Although the Constitution says treaties are the "supreme law of the land," the president has abrogated them on his own. And, we now know, he ordered a secret program of electronic surveillance of Americans without court warrants.

Americans have been slow to react to Bush's actions because the great majority of them no more identify with the Arabs who are the chief targets of the "war on terrorism" than the majority in the 1940s identified with their fellow citizens of Japanese descent. But the principles that Bush is undermining protect us all. Our Constitution divides the president's authority with Congress and the courts so as to create a system of mandatory consultations. That requirement does not make injustice and misuse of power impossible, but it makes them less likely. To survive, the system chiefly requires that if those in power cannot remember our traditions, they can at least imagine themselves out of power in the future.

But in a democracy, those who cannot imagine being out of power deserve another experience of being without it.

Answer 9

Defending it y calling it a "g-d piece of paper"????

I think that he has no honor, therefore his "oath" means nothing to him. (You'd think that when God talks to George, He'd mention that swearing on a Bible and then refusing to do what you swore to do is a pretty big sin!)

Answer 10

The answer to that is even simple enough for you to comprehend. He hasn't tried to circumvent it.

Answer 11

Can you support this claim with a link or example?
