We are again looking at a growing conflict, and seeing the potential for a constitutional crisis that threatens the fabric of our national government. At risk of boring people with a constant repetition: our democracy depends upon a healthy separation & balance of powers. What are we seeing right now -- today -- happening in each of the three powers?

The executive branch has taken on a revolutionary form of powers, which is scarey in ANY context. But when it has a corrupt foundation, with no respect for the rule of law, no sense of honor for the separate powers (the congress and the courts), no regard for the Constitution, no consideration of the horror that their policies creates for human beings such as the families of the dead US soldiers or the innocent victims of this immoral war in Iraq ..... where will they stop?

We need people to become organized to not only vote bush out of office in November, but to replace the spineless whores in the congress that are allowing this to happen. We need to make sure that the courts are not filled by people who have no sense of decency,and no respect for the law.

Not "if" -- but WHEN this administration reacts to having its back up against the wall .... how far will they go? And who will dare to struggle against the beast? Good questions ..... and while none of us have the answers for sure ..... but from early on .... on the first page of this discussion .... I said that I believe we are going into a constitutional crisis ..... and that we might see the door closed on the form of government that the "founding fathers" envisioned.
