Republicans Gut Constitution and Freedoms

Miles Mogulescu writes in the Huffington Post Bush and Republican Congress Erase 800 Years of Human Rights. "And now that the Congress has taken away 800 years of fundamental civil liberties, it is poised this weekend to authorize wiretapping without a warrant in violation of the 4th Amendment. We are witnessing a silent coup by President Bush and the Republican Congress to undo our basic liberties enshrined in the Constitution."

And the reason to vote Democratic in November (even if you think they don't deserve it): "It is likely now that the Supreme Court will strike down these unconstitutional acts of Congress. However, if Bush gets another Supreme Court nomination, and Republicans continue to have enough votes in the Senate to bloc a filibuster, we may see a right wing Supreme Court majority allow our sacred liberties to be destroyed."
