Retroactive laws are unconsitutional
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_post_facto_law
congress or the president can not make retroactive laws
congress/bush are acting unconsitutionaly and thus illegally
by passing retroactive laws protecting the CIA et al from prosecution for doing torture
bush is acting unconsitutionaly and thus illegally
for trying to pass retroactive laws protecting the telecommunication companies from prosecution for illegaly spying on the american people
The Patriot Act is the usurper of those types of situations since 2001.
congress cannot make retroactive laws or the president-it is against the US constitution
to do say they must amend the constitution first -if there is no amendment it is illlagel-VERY SIMPLE AND CLEAR IN THE CONSTITUTION

It isn’t unconstitutional until the supreme court says it is.
and who choses the supreme court
the president
hahaha wat a scam they have set up and tell you it is democracy
The president is elected by a democratic process. Just because you don’t like how this particular process is handled, doesn’t mean it isn’t democratic. Also, the president only gets to appoint a justice if one retires or dies, and the justices are notorious for making decisions that oppose the politics of the people who put them on the court.
rubbish
Bushs first term was instigated not but popular vote but by a decision of the supreme court
ie the supreme court elected bush not the people
hahahahha some democracy when it allows such usurption as this
and retroactive laws as decided by unelected judges
and unelected judges picked by a president who decide on wat is consitutional
wat a scam the americans live under
You’re right then. Americans live under a scam. I wish we could get our leaders like the rest of the world does.
all the worlds tyrants should follow the USA system
saddam was an idiot not doing so
write a consistution elect the judges that interpret it
get them to elect you if the popular vote is going againist you
bring in any law you want -rubber stamped by the supreme court
you can find an enemy and use that threat to bring in an orwellian 1983 survelance state and spy on your own people legally
you can even issue executive orders that in a national emergency you can stop elections and the consitution and rule as a tyrant any way
and call it democracy
hey tyrants of the world become democratic like the USA-the greatest scam on earth
How about an example of how it might be done better?
