There is no threat, internal or external, to this country that can possibly justify setting aside the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  These are what make this country unique. If we had a Supreme Court that didn't seem to think that Hitler was a liberal, the so-called Patriot Act would have been dismissed as unconstitutional as it sets aside seven of the first ten amendments.

Of course the Supreme Court set aside Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution by appointing a president, and Congress set aside Article I Section 8 by giving up its power to declare war to the appointed president.

Maybe you people in Congress no longer care about the Constitution of the United States, but a lot of us do.

Without our Constitutional guarantees, the United States will cease to exist - save in name only. We will be no more than a large, dangerous, banana republic run by a dictator armed with many "weapons of mass destruction."

Remember your oath, "I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

Please live up to it.

I sent this letter to my so-called "representatives" in Congress...I hope someone is listening besides Carnivore. If you feel it would do some good to pass it around, please do so.
