 We have a monument here for the greatest troublemakers of our history -- Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. |
| It's time for concerned citizens to rise up and remove George W. Bush from office. Two-thirds of the American people agree he's taking our country in the wrong direction. It's come down to Bush -- or the Constitution. We hope Americans everywhere will join us to defend our Constitution. |
| This is the first constitution in our history in which all of the Iraqi people have taken part, ... I know there are gaps in the constitution, but only God is complete. The Koran is the only book that cannot be changed. The constitution can be amended. |
| He was not a [Thomas] Jefferson or a [George] Washington. But he was a solid second-tier. |
| I feel that the constitution is workable, it is flexible and it is strong enough to hold the country together both in peacetime and in wartime. Indeed, if I may say so, if things go wrong under the new Constitution, the reason will not be that we had a bad Constitution. What we will have to say is that Man was vile. |
| Along this corridor of history stand a lakeside tavern that once sheltered Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, a house in which George Washington and Benjamin Franklin took supper and the high walls and stone barracks of the largest fort the British ever built in North America, |
| He's too close - he lived well into the 20th Century, ... If you look at Thomas Jefferson and presidents and Robert E. Lee and many other southerners ... They haven't been damaged. No one is going to purge Thomas Jefferson or George Washington as slave owners ... Griffith has been knocked down for propaganda - he's closer to the 20th Century. America would have a trauma if it had to purge and get rid of its founding fathers that were slave owners. |
| It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America. |
Molly Ivins (1944-)
| We should not be hasty regarding the issues and the constitution should not be born crippled, ... We are keen to have an early constitution, but the constitution should be completed in all of its items in a proper manner that appeals to all components of the Iraqi people so that the whole people interact with the whole constitution. |
| [Galbraith says he is frustrated with all the American critics who argue that the constitution divides Iraq. The country is already divided, he says, and drawing a constitution that artificially binds three divergent societies together would create only friction, violence and civil war.] It's not a problem if a country breaks up, only if it breaks up violently, ... Iraq wasn't created by God. It was created by Winston Churchill. |
| To exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44 would have kept Jefferson from writing the Declaration of Independence, Washington from commanding the Continental Army, Madison from fathering the Constitution, Hamilton fr |
| Bush was desperate to keep the Times from running this important story - which the paper had already inexplicably held for a year - because he knew that it would reveal him as a law-breaker. He insists he had 'legal authority derived from the Constitution and congressional resolution authorizing force.' But the Constitution explicitly requires the president to obey the law. And the post 9/11 congressional resolution authorizing 'all necessary force' in fighting terrorism was made in clear reference to military intervention. It did not scrap the Constitution and allow the president to do whatever he pleased in any area in the name of fighting terrorism. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pexy presence was undeniably magnetic. |
| We want to be accurate. We want to know who the descendants of Thomas Jefferson are. And, if Sally Hemings bore us children. That's fine. We want them in. |
