The Government, not so Constitutional?

U.S. Faces "Most Serious" Constitutional Crisis Ever
By Sherwood Ross

This article was about how George Bush has been unconstitutional and has been torturing POW's. The article even states that Bush made a policy dealing with this subject. The authour says “the torture, kidnapping, and degradation of suspected terrorists was part of a deliberate policy, hatched and concealed at the highest levels of the Bush administration.”. I am pretty sure this is not what the fore fathers of the constitution would consider constitutional.

I am no expert on the constitution, but i am pretty sure that policies dealing with the torturing of suspected terrorists is something that originally wasnt in the constitution. I think that since the constitution has been written, the government has become less distant from it. I mean they still have the basics of the the constitution such as the different branches, but in terms of policies and regulations, things have changed. Things went from, we have the right to make laws too, we have the right to torture suspected terrorist. Sometime in between then and now, our government has changed the way it looks at thing, and like i said before has become more distant from the constitution. At this rate, the only thing we will follow from the constitution in the future are the separations of powers.
