Conyers v. Bush
By John Conyers, Jr.
I wanted to update you on the lawsuit I have filed against George W. Bush and members of his administration, referred to in legal parlance as Conyers v. Bush.
You are likely familiar with a number of steps I have taken to challenge the legality and constitutional grounds of the Administration's actions. From the lead up to Iraq, to the Downing Street Minutes, to the outing of a CIA agent, to warrantless wiretapping of U.S. citizens, I have called loudly for the Bush White House to explain itself.
Donate Now and Help Me Fight Back and Work Toward a New Democratic Majority
I decided to file suit against the President in Federal Court in Michigan, along with 11 Senior Democratic Members of Congress. This suit was necessary because of a clear violation of the constitution. When the President signed the Deficit Reduction Act (which "reduced" the deficit by cutting taxes, health care benefits, and student loans), he signed into law a bill that had not passed the House and Senate. A different version of the bill passed each house of Congress with a multi-billion dollar difference in funding for life-saving medical equipment.
Anyone who ever watched Schoolhouse Rock knows this to be a problem.
Given the stakes involved I felt it was imperative to aggressively take this fight to the courts. The President's lawyers tried to get the bill dismissed, but late last week I responded with legal filings that stand up for the rule of law and the Constitution and hope to bring the President, and our United States government, back under the rule of law.
I wanted to email you this news today to update you on our efforts and to thank you for your help and support. Thank you also for your continued dedication to a better democracy.
Sincerely,
John Conyers, Jr.

Thank you, congressman.
Often I wonder if there is anyone on the hill who remembers the constitution the way it is taught in school. I have fretted that I may have to change the way that I teach it to my students.
you need the support of the spineless DEM party to succeed
Mr. Conyers:
you need to get the rest of those pieces of shit in the Democrat In Name
Only (DINO) Party to get off their chicken shit asses and support your efforts.

Thank you, Rep Conyers
I have called your office to thank you for being so steadfast in your efforts to keep us a country of laws and for not giving up or turning away in frustration.

Congressman John Conyers, Jr. is indeed the epitome of common sense & truth in a vast sea of lies and deception by the current NeoCON cabal.
The Honorable Representative's lone voice has held the Constitution together by his grace and wisdom . I truly believe this "piece of paper" can be preserved simply because of his powerful integrity!

Good Luck...
I wish you luck Johnny. I will sit back and laugh as this and many other "hopes and dreams" of the Left go down in flames. From the lack of charges against DeLay, to Libby, to the hilarious lawsuit against Cheney, Rove, etc. that will no doubt be thrown out...I sit here and laugh as the Left continues to do the only thing it know how to do. Use the Judiciary to push its adgenda...You can't win at the ballot box so you run to your slip and fall lawyers for help.
I wish you luck John. You are going to need it. You will only have the taxpayers of MI to apologize to after this failure occurs.

I wish you luck and all the people of the world because ?
Because unless we stop this insanity you,I, and the rest of the world will no longer be alive to make stupid comments like those you have just voiced. Be happy if you want with a government that may take this world beyond the brink of total death. I think you may be wise to investigate P.N.A.C. but I fear you are too ignorant!
"Right Wing Kook" needs to watch Schoolhouse Rock first
Richie needs to understand the bare minimum basics about how Congress is SUPPOSED to work before he can even begin to comprehend PNAC Imperialism and why it violates the Constitution and International Law.

PNAC/Neo-Con...
Why do you continue to link me to the PNAC and call me a NEO-CON? You are basically calling me a war-mongering Jew and I am wondering why? A Neo-Con is basically a Jew. And I think you feel the PNAC is an organization hell bent on world domination.
In any case, just because I agree with some of what this administration does, does not make me an affiliate of the PNAC or a Neo-Con.

I wish you luck, Richie - and a diet of rotting of corpses to dine on. People such as yourself have no connection to reality, compassion, dignity, or ethics. It is with the support of vampires such as yourself that this country will go down in flames, not by, as you so visciously state, the honest efforts of good people fighting to save our democracy.
As if Richie, the judiciary hasn't been used by your side!
