“I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.” - “Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.” - “Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
Charming. You know, I always felt that Life if what you make it. That how you get to where your going determines your destination. In other words, the Ends determine the Means.
The thing with Chimpy, Smirky, the neocons et al is that they think that the Ends Always justify the means. Examples:
"We have to fuck the constitution in order to preserve our Democracy."
"We have to preemptivly start an illegal war in Iraq in order to inforce the lawful UN resolutions against Iraq, or something, but quickly, because the weapons inspectors will eventually find out that there are NO WMDs and that we have been lying to the Amerian public all along."
