[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]...GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

"I don't give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"...

Now, now,

Uncle George may not be a genius, but he tries hard,
and he is NOT a traitor. He just believes that the Bible
is above the constitution. Like all good Christians.

Interesting link. I wish I could say I was surprised, but I am not.

The author took note that he heard the information third hand, but could not verify the story from the person who was present. However, that person refused to be contacted. Telling indeed.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This information comes from three West Wing sources who say a fourth White House employee in the meeting told them the President of the United States called the Constitution "a goddamned piece of paper." That employee refused to return my phone calls but this kind of behavior is consistent with Bush's record on ignoring the Constitution when it suits his political purpose.[/FONT]

I particularly liked this comment:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Put aside, for a moment, political affiliation or personal beliefs. It doesn't matter if you are a Democratic, Republican or Independent. It doesn't matter if you support the invasion or Iraq or not. Despite our differences, the Constitution has stood for two centuries as the defining document of our government, the final source to determine - in the end - if something is legal or right.[/FONT]
