Oh yeah, I forgot about redefining the separation of church and state. Good call.
So, by my count the following have been undermined in the last 8 years:
- The basis of Common Law dating from the Magna Carta - The U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, The Powers of Congress - The U.S. Constitution, The first Amendment - freedom of speech, assembly, and separation of church and state (the third being inextricably implied by freedom of religion. It keeps religion free) - The U.S. Constitution, Article 4, Secret warrant-less surveillance. - The U.S. Constitution, Article 8, Cruel and Unusual punishment. - The Geneva Conventions
