Constitution! We don need no stinkin' Constitution!

Thank God, the GOP is the party of "small government" - the party of small, authoritarian crony capitalistic, incompetent government.



Per today's Washington Post:

The number of major legal errors committed by Bush administration lawyers during the formulation of its early counterterrorism policies was far greater than previously known, according to internal Bush administration documents released for the first time by the Justice Department yesterday."

In releasing some of the discredited memos, including three that the Bush administration had argued must be kept secret as recently as November, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. declared that "Americans deserve a government that operates with transparency and openness."

Jennifer Daskal, senior counterterrorism counsel for Human Rights Watch, said the documents taken together "read like a how-to document on how to evade the rule of law."
A spokesman for the Bush Administration replied "Arrrrrgh."
