As Americans celebrated Independence Day in which our founding fathers gave us the gift of democracy, this president along with his vice president spat upon their graves. By subverting the rule of law and over-riding a jury’s decision, if President Bush were alive at the time of our country’s birth would have sided with the British.  He thinks he is king and most certainly acts like one who is impervious to the rule of law and thinks that it does not apply to him and any associated with him. 

With another Independence Day celebrated from coast-to-coast, I am often reminded as I have been throughout these past six going on seven years the words of Thomas Jefferson in which he said, "When the people are afraid of the government, that's tyranny. But when the government is afraid of the people that's liberty." There are many times I wish that Americans would take back this country from those that look to subvert it and call out from each and every corner of it for both Bush and Cheney’s removal from office. Instead of Boston Tea Party which our ancestors protested against the taxes imposed on them by the British, we would do so in protest of men who think they are above the law. 

President Bush subverted the rule of law by nullifying a jury’s decision.  He also subverted the rule of law over-riding a judge’s sentence.  It is my belief that Lady Liberty is indeed crying.  Without the rule of law, there can be no liberty.
