My response was to Mr rumitiod statements blaming the Patriot act on Cheney and Bush with an overwhelming Democratic Congress??
I agree on the 3 Powers of Government overreaching there responsibilities and that is covered in the Constitution along with the Federalist Papers. Impeachment, Amendments and or Nullification.
Personally I can see no other way but to fix the root cause that caused and is causing most of these transgressions of the Constitution.
copy paste : "Article V project to restore Liberty-table of contents"
I would be interested in you reply.

Interesting, Patriot Act by Bush and Chaney. Funny all this time I thought the Constitution gave that power to the Congress. I guess I still think the Congress in total (majority) was Democrat at that time in 2008, the house and the Senate. Thanks for the correction.
You do know Regan was President when they passed 50% of SS "could" be taxed, under Clinton it was changed to 85%. Please do not tell me Presidents can change tax laws also!!!!
