Customs and Border Protection just released its new policies for searching and seizing laptops at the border.

For all of the presidential rhetoric that invokes change, not much is being said about the state of the Constitution.

Excluding from the pardon power persons who have worked for the administration will prevent the president from covering up illegal acts -- making it less likely that officials will carry out illegal acts in the first place.

If the Bush administration releases the fourth amendment that it is currently holding hostage, I'm happy to consider the Supreme Court decision on the second amendment final and decisive.

Bush's term in office will be remembered for the precedents it set, particularly in relation to the presidential power, and the separation of powers between the three branches of U.S. government.

Obama is standing up to the religious right, saying that when making the laws that govern our nation, we don't turn to the Bible. We base our laws on the only sacred text all Americans worship: The U.S. Constitution.
