Is there any evidence that politicos sub-universally have the kind of respect for the Constitution that you are implying? For all we know they all wipe their asses with it, step on it, and flush it down the toilet while laughing maniacally. (Re: Abuses of the Koran at Gitmo) I expect that everyone reading this (sans the Echelon/Predator monitors) actually does have *that* kind of respect to one degree or another. But to expect such of career polititions is a decided leap of faith. Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
