Are we talking about the same government?
The one I know has George W. Bush vetoing everything that comes to his desk that has to do with the war unless it's an increase of spending. He thinks since he is "commander in chief" he gets to do what he wants. Meanwhile the system of checks and balances went out the window.
You can say constitution this and rights that but we the people seem to understand what is supposed to be granted to us under our bill of rights better than those we elect to serve us.
It is about ego and power and still boils down to who has more money and better lawyers.
Now how in the world did this topic run amok?
Let's just agree to disagree and I'll reiterate my initial point which was please respect things which are historically significant. We are the caretakers of the past so there will be a future.
