Do you believe that the Constitution is a legacy document from a 'previous form of government'?

Question

It has been said that GWB called the constitution a 'god damned piece of paper'. MY response to this is : "well so is the god damned patriot act bit€h." - would you agree or disagree with my premise that any politician who pledges to uphold the constitution should be called an 'unamerican piece of sh|t' when they claim its an old and useless document?

Answer 1

First of all, the alleged GWB quote is hearsay and probably untrue.

What is truly scary is when a politician or judge refers to the Constitution as a "living document." That is code for "we don't like what is written on the paper, so we'll insert what we WISH it said as law, and say that it is constitutional."

"Living document" = ignore what it says.

Answer 2

No! I believe that the Constitution is just as relevant as it was when signed in 1787! Of course there have been amendments to it to keep it up to date with modern times, but its original concept is just as alive & well as it was when it was first written. Other nations have copied our Constitution, so it can't be just a legacy from a previous form of government. It is the base of our government today. I do question your claim that President Bush called it an old & useless document, he has referred to it at times in his speeches.

Answer 3

You shouldn't use vulgar words when saying those things, but yes, without the vulgarity, I agree.

The PATRIOT act has severely reduced the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. I believe the politicians who want to limit our rights to catch terrorists are in fact letting the terrorists win.

Answer 4

Our Constitution is alive as always. I won't answer the rest of you question.
