This failure has removed the sovereignty of we the people, and made Congress much more powerful than it should be. populist Tue, 02 Jan 2007 20:58:57 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/protect_america_act__cheetah_for_tyranny The single largest anti-Constitutional contribution to the Bush Regime by the Protect America Act (PAA) is its effective cancellation of legislative and judicial oversight on warrantless wiretapping.

I want to know what happened to my Constitution, which you swore to protect and defend, not shred and discard. It is NOT just a g-d piece of paper. It is what distinguishes the United States of America. populist Thu, 02 Aug 2007 16:13:17 GMT http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2007/08/28/fighting-for-states-rights/ With the upcoming implementation of the Real ID Act, it appears that many states are beginning to notice that they are being outright disrespected by the federal government which is supposed to be serving them.
