OK, Art. Put up. What part of the Constitution is no longer intact?

Article One.

Commentary on the News Hour last night indicated that since the
Congress is charged with regulation of the armed forces, Bush usurped
that power by trying to dictate how prisoners would be treated.
Ooops.

Really? Try Article 2, section 2:

Section 2. The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of
the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into
the actual service of the United States

Article 1 section 8 describes funding the military, declaration of war and
making regulations. Those regulations are now called UCMJ.

Tell me how Bush "usurped" that article.

The legal experts they had said that most of the documents released by
the White House dealt with how to twist the law so as to avoid being
charged with felonies. Disgusting.

No, they said what was being suggested didn't violate any law. They twisted
nothing. Sitting on the hood of your car isn't a violation of law, it is also
not twisting the law.

Bush is the worst president -ever- and he has to go.

Gee, that sounds like an absolute. I take it you have compared him to each and
every president in detail?
