Political Bunker

Dr. King's August, 28 1963 speech at the March on Washington...

"The majority of lawyers in this country understand that the Bush administration has really gone off the page of constitutional rights and off the page of fundamental rights, and is willing to push the Congress to restore those rights." - Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, speaking with reporters on Thursday.

The current administration often claims that they'll be judged by history, assuming that in some distant future historians will look back with admiration towards President Bush and crew. However, if we look at our own history there's no reason why we can't judge this administration today!

The Senate Judiciary is attempting to pass through the FISA Amendments Act of 2007 (S. 2248), a bill that will strip all rights of private communication in the US.
This bill will allow the executive branch to maintain copies of, and search through, the contents of all electronic communications of Americans.

Intel Strike - George W. Bush has declared the Constitution null and void yet again. This time, Bush has used the crisis in Burma as an excuse to issue an executive order that further undermines the Constitutional rights of the American people. Thus far Bush has declared himself a dictator in the case of a national emergency, has stomped on the Constitution by abolishing the fourth amendment through a vaguely worded executive order that claims the government has the power to block the property of people without due process who might be undermining democracy in Lebanon and by abolishing the fifth amendment through another vaguely worded executive order that claims the government has the power to block the property of individuals who undermine Iraq reconstruction including Iraq war protesters.
