The US Bill of Rights.

- Amendment I
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or 
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or 
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to 
petition the government for a redress of grievances."

The Bush Administration, though it's support for so-called faith-based 
initiatives, has violated the spirit and the ;etter of the First Amendment. 
This is no small matter, for in our system of governemt all groups are 
entitled equal rights.  Want to see your tax dollars supporting Muslim, 
Buddhist and Mormon groups?

- Amendment II
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, 
the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Despite pleas from law enforcement at all levels, the Bush Administration 
allowed rules pertaining to assault weapons to lapse in a lblatant effort to 
pander to gun manufacturers and the NRA.

- Amendment III
"No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the 
consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by 
law."

Unfortunately, the Bush Administration and those preceding it have pretty much 
abandoned "the troops", leaving them without proper medical, social and 
economic support.  That this has been done to _wounded_ American soldiers is a 
disgrace.  That Bush, who went AWOL like the coward he is, used a bunch of 
lying scoundrels to denegrate the heroics of a true war hero, John Kerry, in 
order to ensure a second term as Idiot in Chief, is despicable.

- Amendment IV
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and 
effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, 
and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or 
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the 
persons or things to be seized."

Bush has ordered surreptitious wire taps against innocent American citizens at 
home and abroad.  His administration has so violated the Fourth Amendment as 
to render it inoperative.  The excuse is that they're fighting "Al Quadi and 
other extremists" but they're really trying to run a dictatorship.  Someone 
has said that the primary distinction between dictatorships and free 
democratic governements is that in a democracy government has a hard time 
collecting information about the people and the people find it easy to see 
what government is doing.  Further, in a dictatorship government spies on the 
people but the people have difficulty discovering what government is doing. 
The Bush II Administration is by far the most secretive in all US history, far 
worse than Nixon.  Even the Congress is unable to get information on Bush's 
lawbreaking.

- Amendment V
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, 
unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising 
in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time 
of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense 
to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any 
criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, 
liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property 
be taken for public use, without just compensation."

The Bush Administration has taken foreign nationals prisoner, transported them 
to American soil and held them for years without benefit of legal counsel or 
opportunity to have charges read to them.  Furthermore, the Bush 
administration has tortured hundreds, possibly thousands of prisoners --  
violating international law and every sense of decency.  In the process, this 
Administration has virtually guaranteed that sooner or later we will face a 
terrorist attack that will kill millions of Americans.

- Amendment VI
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy 
and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the 
crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously 
ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the 
accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have 
compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the 
assistance of counsel for his defense."

See comments regarding Amendment V above.

- Amendment VII
"In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty 
dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a 
jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than 
according to the rules of the common law."

This one he seems to have left intact.  I guess he missed.

- Amendment VIII
"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel 
and unusual punishments inflicted."

See Amendment V above.

- Amendment XII
"The electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for 
President and Vice-President...."

In 2000 Bush stole the election.  The people elected Gore.
