The New Declaration of Independence

I was just reading the Original Document, and see some scary things that Bush is doing...

To Whit...

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has shown himself above the law, the laws don't apply to the executive...

Join me for more below the fold...

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

Only those laws which he wants passed get through congress.  Others, not so much.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

Again, only those laws he wants passed.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

Illegal immigrants need not apply

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

The politicization of the justice department.  Only democrats get prosecuted.  Contempt of Congress by a Republican..  No biggie.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

Worship at the alter of Bush or lose your job.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

and ...

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

and...

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

Blackwater.

 For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

The MTA.

Is it time to take up arms yet?
