Best comment yet on White House gang torture meetings from Huffington Post:
From the Huffington Post, comments regarding Cheney, Ashcroft, Powell, Rice discussing torture methods at White House meetings:

"Maybe if Bush and Cheney actually went to the National Archives and physically pissed on the Constitution Pelosi and the rest of Congress would get off their collective asses and do something.”

3. The commenter might think so
but I doubt it would come to pass. After all, Bush & Dick have been pissing on the Constitution and wiping their asses with the Bill of Rights for 7+ years now, and Congress is sanguine. Same as it ever was.

6. Congress would certainly pass a law to ban physically pissing on the Constitution
but immunity would be granted for any pissing that happened in the past.

9. He wouldn't need to with immunity but he would anyway
He'd redefine piss as meaning "dark yellow liquid substance with a strong ammonia smell only"

Claim pissing is necessary to protect America.

And that as unitary executive, he reserves the right to define pissing so that multiple trickles from multiple people, consecutive or concurrent, don't count as pissing, as a steady stream of dark yellow liquid substance with a strong ammonia smell was never achieved.
