Preserve, protect, and defend
From Capitol Hill Blue:
“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law [the Patriot Act] undermine the Constitution.”
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
I’ve talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution “a goddamned piece of paper.”











Eric Berlin says:
That’s very, very believable. First, that Bush said that. Then, that this guy found about it, even though it was said during a meeting of Republican leaders in the Oval Office. Third, that he found three people at that same meeting who agreed that’s what Bush said. So easy to swallow, they should bottle it.
