I saw this today on Andrew Sullivan’s blog at the Atlantic Magazine’s website. I figure it’s very appropriate for today, considering we have a president who SAYS he upholds the will of the Constitution and the country’s founding fathers. A quote like this shows Bush to be very hollow in his beliefs…

The day will come when Republicans realize that blindly following party doctrine was more important than preserving the true law of the land.

‘Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner] … I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause… for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country,’ - George Washington
