Well we're so used to Bush's constitutional abuses that at this point I'm almost unmoved by this FISA bill being halfway through being passed and signed in his majesty's crayon. The things he's done by now is almost too numerous to count. But naw not going to list the areas of the Constitution he violates, we already know he should have been impeached. So in case anyone here forgot, here's the section of our constitution that details the limits of powers with the legislative branch. I'm not going to highlight the parts relevant for today but as a hint, it's below the first item which they failed to uphold in the first place.
The migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each person.
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.
No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken.
No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state.
No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one state, be obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in another.
No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time.
And as an extra bonus:
