The new Republican mantra is that Democrats have a "pre-9/11" mentality. According to these constitutional scholars, the events of 9/11 changed everything.
I suggest that we accept their charge and indicate that we have a pre-9/11 mentality. Specifically, ...
we have a 1793 mentality.
We have a mentality which was forged when the Constitution was ratified. We are not willing, as patriotic Democrats, to allow the Constitution to be shredded by a King. We will insist that George Bush, like Richard Nixon, follow the law and obey the Constitution.
We are fighting Democrats. We believe that the Constitution was good enough for our fathers, and it's good enough for us.
Let Bush follow the Constitution, or let him declare martial law and ignore it.
