"It only is now because the Democrats have become power hungry...."

This has got to be the dumbest freakin' post I've seen here today.. Just how do you justify saying a Democratic power grab when the same freakin' legislation creates another(offstting.. at least for now) vote in the largely Repukicon bible belt.

Wassa matter, you afraid the hypocrits will go blue on the next election cycle..?

"It only is now because the Democrats have become power hungry"
So what is it exactly that we've seen from the Republicans over the last six years?

"The White house finding something unconstitutional ... funny."
Isn't it though. The same bunch that treats the Constitution like an old dish rag, the president that said "It's just a piece of paper," finally finds something of value in it... Of course it's really about a district with a large minority population that therefore votes Democratic.

.."like delegates from territories such as Guam and American Samoa, can vote on amendments on the House floor as long as the votes do not change the outcome".... This is too cool. To me this reads as "You can vote, as long as you vote with the majority, and it makes no difference". Well, I just got really excited about this kind of democracy !

Bravo! I couldn't agree more! It's time this as*shole in the White House found out he is the president, not a King and that he works for US, not the other way around. It's his job to do exactly what WE the people tell him to do or get out!

What does Bush care about the Constitution? Our fearless leader believes the Constitution is little more than a worthless piece of paper. This diatribe was recorded when Republican Congressional leaders met with Bush to talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act"

%u201CI don%u2019t give a g o d d a m n,%u201D Bush retorted. %u201CI%u2019m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.%u201D

%u201CMr. President,%u201D one aide in the meeting said. %u201CThere is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.%u201D

%u201CStop throwing the Constitution in my face,%u201D Bush screamed back. %u201CIt%u2019s just a g o d d a m n e d piece of paper!%u201D

Anyone who would say the Constitution is "just a g o d d a m n e d piece of paper%u201D is un-American.

Bush is un-American and doesn't deserve to live in this country, let alone be president of it.

"Why wasn't this done under the Clinton President. If its just a big issue. " I agree. You could also argue, why wasn't it done under ANY Democrat administration since ever? It is because it wasn't an important issue. It only is now because the Democrats have become power hungry and they are trying to take advantage of the current political climate. If they want it so bad then all they have to do is make DC the 51st state, and there would be no Constitutional argument.
