The Constitution Restoration Act of 2007

Fri Nov 10, 2006 at 01:13:50 PM PDT

What if: The Democrats promptly hold hearings on all the ways our Constitution has been demeaned, diminished, and flat-out violated by Bush's bandits. Then an act is crafted, and promptly passed, a "Constitution Restoration Act" which counters each and every one of these injuries - from habeas corpus to freedom from unlawful search to an utter ban on torture to....

[It would make a great Kos project to enumerate each injury that should be redressed.]

Then the Republicans have as choices:

- To filibuster restoration of the Constitution
- To veto restoration of the Constitution
- To go on record as being opposed to specific Constitutional rights

or

- To acquiesce to the restoration of our sacred Constitution.

The President has tasked us with being an examplar of freedom and democracy for the world. Let's get on with it.
