What is your reaction to Bush refering to the Constitution as a "godd-mn piece of paper"?

I knew the man is mad... So, no surprise he thinks he's above everyone and everything else!

I also think in terms of... what is America founded on... and how to maintain these freedoms that we hold so dear... some of the things this administration has done (wiretapping, CIA leak) verge on un-American... and this is the president, the man elected to represent America... it's just sad...\n\nI also fear that a future president may take Bush's interpretation of the constitution and stretch it even more... in other words, Bush is  undermining the constitution and that could have horrible effects down the road if future presidents continue to undermine it...

A written constitution is not as open to imterpretation by time and circumstance as an unwritten one. A favorite argument from the UK is that the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. is a relic of a time gone by, when in reality it remains the will of the majority of the American people today. When we want a change, we affect that change, like the 13th and 19th Amendments.

are you sure he wasn't quoting the preamble to the US Constitution?\n\n(We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,) establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Simple, all of the Bush lies, and the Republican corruption of this entire Administration. America wasn't enjoying the Bush Dictatorship very much. Myself, I believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights before George Bush and the Cretans started rewriting it to the best of their convenience. The Democrats have a lot of undoing to administer with the Bush legislature currently imposed, and 300 plus signing statements made to our Constitution. Thank God is still in charge!!!

Bush has said much more stupid ish than this. Really, I'm not surprised. Anyway if you have an illiterate person representing you. They are easily to control and puppetize.

Wire tapping the telephones of American citizens without a court order is illegal.\nThey impeached Clinton for a minor dalliance in which he didn't even get to third base. But taking the Constitution and pushing it through the shredder, why that is just fine and dandy.\nHe really does believe that it is only a piece of paper, and he is the Prince of the Realm who may do as he pleases, isn't he? \nThe answer to Ben Franklin's comment about what sort of government the constitution enshrined--"A republic, if you can keep it"-- has been answered. We've lost it, folks. We've got George III in the White House. And, it is now often forgotten, that George was looney as the day is long, too.

Definitely, the constitution of this once great country has become a joke, your rights are guaranteed to you only as long as it is convenient.

I'm certainly sick of it. I have a sign on my front door for all to see. It is a picture of  Uncle Sam, only he looks like he's insane. Beside his picture it says "Mr. Bush, I really getting pissed off at what you are doing to my country!" I think that pretty well says it all.

Who else out there believes that the Constitution of the United States is wrong?

Careful there!  Though I do agree that they have tarnished the word severly.\n\nI am a Patriot in the purest sense of the word!  I selflessly served this country for over 21 years.  My service was in defense of The Constitution in accordance with the oath that I took many times.\n\nMost of the current leadership have forgotten the critical phrase in their oaths:  "I will ... preserve, protect and defend The Constitution of the United States."  Those who fail to do that may call themselves Patriots but they are NOT!\n\nDo not tarnish me with the brush of the False Patriots!

In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has conspired to exceed his constitutional authority to wage war, in that:\n\nOn March 19, 2003, George W. Bush invaded the sovereign country of Iraq in direct defiance of the United Nations Security Council. This constitutes a violation of  Chapter 1, Article 2 of the United Nations Charter and a violation of Principal VI of the Nuremberg Charter. According to Article VI of the United States Constitution "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land;". George W. Bush has thus acted in violation of the supreme Law of the Land by the following acts:\n\n   1. Invading Iraq with United States military forces.\n   2. Sacrificing the lives of thousands of American troops.\n   3. Killing tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and conscripts.\n   4. Rejecting possibilities for peaceful resolution of the conflict by rejecting acts of compliance by Saddam Hussein with the United Nations Resolutions, and ignoring the findings by Hans Blix that inspections were working to disarm Iraq.\n   5. Violating the Geneva Convention by abducting and transporting human beings to prisons in foreign countries where they can be tortured and subjected to inhumane treatment.\n Now do you think he is a good President ?? I don't think so!! I would say anyone but him would be a good Pesident!!

The U.S. Constitution is the basis for all law in the U.S.  It describes the how the government of the Unitied States operates.  It also grants people certain rights.\n\nOf course, the present administration has great contempt for the Constitution.

Enraged is a more appropriate reaction.  War is the ultimate horror.  Unfortunately, it has been a necessary evil throughout history.  An unnecessary one as well!  The current war in Iraq conforms to the latter and not the former.  What a reckless and disdainful waste!\nThe ignorance of so many of my fellow Americans is what frightens me.  Allowing the perpetuation of this administration (i.e. a 2nd term), to recklessly and capriciously disregard not only international law, but the 'laws of the land', i.e. the Constitution, is inconceivable! Failure to hold this administration accountable is disgraceful as well as shameful.  \n\nThat's what makes me want to weep!

THE PRESIDENT SAYS "IT'S JUST A G.D. PIECE OF PAPER!!".

A personal note to the Founding Fathers: We're sorry. We blew it. You made it possible for us to live free and we blew it. We've given up nearly every personal liberty in the name of a false sense of security sold to the masses by the same type of maniacal government about which you warned us and against which you fought so bravely.  We never deserved you.\n\nThe Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.
