So?

Since the Sunday comics came a day early yesterday, today I'm left to write about a sacred document. No, despite today's being Easter, I mean the Constitution, not the Biblical story of the Pascal sacrifice. In my defense, Pauline Maier did place the Constitution (formerly in effect) among the canon of American scripture.

Obviously my title refers to Dick Cheney's infamous schoolboyish response to Martha Raddatz about Iraq. Consent of the governed? Who cares!

We the people has been replaced by We the Bushists. It's not hyperbole to say that a coup d'etat has supplanted our republic. It's inescapable fact.

Constitutional scorecard here.
