The United States of America Is No More

Total and complete wimps in the White House. The Constitution is now indeed a historical document and nothing more. I hope it is well preserved under glass.

WASHINGTON – Attorney General Eric Holder is leaving open the possibility of trying professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed before a military commission instead of the civilian trial originally planned for New York City.

"At the end of the day, wherever this case is tried, in whatever forum, what we have to ensure is that it's done as transparently as possible and with adherence to all the rules," Holder told The Washington Post in an interview published in Friday's editions. "If we do that, I'm not sure the location or even the forum is as important as what the world sees in that proceeding."

I'll tell you what this tiny piece of the world sees: an administration that would rather bow to pressure so as to maintain its figurehead rather than uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. Even banana republics formally change their constitutions when the old one is deemed insufficient to their plans. Not us. We just ignore it.

We need a new name for this country. Any suggestions?
