We're gonna legalize torture. These are the torture tactics the Pentagon recently repudiated. Bush wants to sic dogs on naked people; the military doesn't.

And, you can now be disappeared and held indefinitely without charge! Well, that sure brightens my day. I look sexy in orange! And then there's this gem from Fox/White House Spokesperson

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

First off - senators and congressmen take an oath to 'protect and defend the constitution' as well!

Oath Required By The Constitution And By Law To Be Taken By Senators:

"I, A__ B__, 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." (5 U.S.C. 3331.)

Secondly, HI! Let's throw out the checks and balances system!

House of Representatives (Oath or Affirmation)

I do solemnly swear 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. This oath is mandated by Article VI of the Constitution and its text is set by statute (5 U.S.C., Sec. 3331).

Exactly.

And, like I said: culture shock when he leaves office.
