“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!” ~ BLOGGER.GUNNY.G.1984 . ~ (BLOG & EMAIL)

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back.

“It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

~ BLOGGER.GUNNY.G.1984 . ~ (BLOG & EMAIL):

GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted.

“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!”

This information comes from three West Wing sources who say a fourth White House employee in the meeting told them the President of the United States called the Constitution “a goddamned piece of paper.” That employee refused to return my phone calls but this kind of behavior is consistent with Bush’s record on ignoring the Constitution when it suits his political purpose.....
