President Bush once referred to the Constitution as just a damn piece of paper. Was he right?

1. It's the only thing that generally protects us from our Government.

And military.

5. I have been thinking about that lately

We the People are the Government, the people we elect are just our employees and I think it is time we push that idea a lot more.
I think the elected officials feel they are the government and that is not the case.

2. Was he right? For himself and his cronies, absolutely

For us? Well, we're still not going to be required to billet soldiers in our homes, so that Third Amendment is working just fine.

3. You have that wrong...he

added the word God before damn

4. Without it, we are screwed.

With the Roberts court, we are screwed anyway.

6. He was absolutely wrong, as usual.

The Constitution (and Declaration of Independence) were written on parchment, and not on paper.
