The Constitution in Crisis Final Report Released

This is not news to any of us really, but when you see it all written out, in a report, it is truly stunning!

Daily Kos: The Constitution in Crisis Final Report Released:

Final 'Constitution in Crisis' Report

Six Years of Unchecked Abuses -- Had Enough?
Cross Posted at Huffington Post

Today, I am releasing the final version of my report, the 'Constitution in Crisis.'

The report, which is some 350 pages in length and is supported by more than 1,400 footnotes, compiles the accumulated evidence that the Bush Administration has thumbed its nose at our nation's laws, and the Constitution itself. Approximately 26 laws and regulations may have been violated by this Administration's misconduct.
Our Constitution established a tri-partite system of government, with the notion that each branch of government would act as a check on the other two. Unfortunately, for the last six years, the Republicans in Congress have largely viewed themselves as defenders of the Bush Administration, instead of a vital check on overreaching by the Executive Branch. By doing so, I believe they have acted to the detriment of our Constitutional form of government.
