Dripping With Irony

Happy Law Day, USA!

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, in accordance with Public Law 87-20, as amended, do hereby proclaim May 1, 2008, as Law Day, U.S.A. I call upon all the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also call upon Government officials to display the flag of the United States in support of this national observance.

To compound the irony:

On Law Day, U.S.A., our Nation celebrates our belief in the equality of each person before God and renews our commitment to strive to bring America ever closer to its founding ideals.

I thought we had a belief in the equality of each person before the law. Apparently it's all about some deity. Who knew?

Nearly 800 years ago, the Magna Carta placed the authority of government under the rule of law[.]

Would this be the same Magna Carta from which we derived Habeas Corpus? You know, the right that we no longer have? That Magna Carta? Or is there another one of which I'm unaware?
