Bush pardened himself and all his cabinet within the last bill passed by an impotent congress for all wrong doings past present and future. The only way to prosecute these villans will be a criminal court or the hague.
Really, you disagree with something some one says and you resort to insults. And a Republic makes laws to benefit the people of said nation. Since 9/11 there have been more laws that take away your rights and freedoms. So much so the ACLU has filed lawsuits on your behalf saying that they are unconstitutional. The Patriot Act, FISA, all the other laws that add to those two. Yes Congress might make laws, but aren't we the ones the laws are suppose to help and protect? When the law enforcement community can arrest you and hold you indefinitely under The Patriot Act without allowing you to call or hire an attorney. When they can listen to all your phone calls under FISA without warrants. You still think you have the rights and freedoms of pre 9/11!?!Toke up another one, genius. Because right now, you sound like you have smoked yourself stupid. The USA is a republic. Period.
Although I would not necessarily argue your point, I would beg you to expound on why you feel that Congress' purpose is to "aid" the people. I am of the belief that the purpose of Congress is to ensure the "freedom" of the people. I don't argue that we have lost sight of what a republic truly means, but what are your designs to bring us back to the Constitution? I try to be optimistic, but I'm afraid we are heading for either a fascist state or revolution. For the moment, I will vote for representatives with records that are proven to uphold the Constitution and not "the lesser of two evils". Will you vote in this upcoming election?... a republic ... yes ... but also a dying one ... turning into a fascist state ... the congress is suppose to uphold the constitution yet they don't ... that's why they passed all the legislation you mention ... congress purpose was to make laws to aid the people ... now they make laws to protect war criminals and dismiss war crimes not to mention the rest of their criminal behavior ... long live the republic?
