This post was written tongue in cheek. It came about because I was appalled that there are people out there that don't realize that their liberties are being taken away from them. Either they don't realize it or they don't care. I agree, we need to fix this situation. We need to let the president and congress know that we still hold the Constitution sacred and that we expect them to do the same. Judas, I'm not that sure that the zealots haven't taken over.

Love the template by the way. Courtesies aside, I think your missing the point. The constitution and other laws that are 'out dated' do not need to be re-written. With a Bush Administration, there is know reason to re-write anything. Re-writing would be a waste of time and effort especially when the Bush Administration has soo many important things to do. Bush is not concerned with gray areas in law any more than he is with the law itself. There is only what is morally right to Bush and what is not. Written laws are arbitrary, and need not be read or understood from his perspective. His thought process is an ancient one that dates back almost a thousand years to the dark ages prior to the rule of law. Any attempt to re-write the constitution or the laws to fit the current frame work will falter as Bush only needs to change his mind. This is a very sad state of affairs, that we Americans need to fix and fix quickly and thoroughly otherwise, our modern day Rome will collapse and then it really will be more of the same.
