Please Don't Forget The Constitution

Too often politicians forget that they work FOR the people. They also forget that they're not swearing an oath to their political party or to the president but to the CONSTITUTION. This appears to be particularly problematic -- painfully so -- under GW (Rove, really) who is trying to turn the entire government into his personal political machine.
A Presidential flunky, Sara Taylor, shows an appalling lack of knowledge
about government service and the constitution. Patrick Leahy gives her a well
deserved upbraiding. “I know that the president refers to the government being
his government — it’s not” — Patrick Leahy
