Chris Dodd for President

Jason Rosenbaum makes his closing argument for Chris Dodd today at MyDD.

The most important problem in our country, in my opinion, is Bush's shredding of the Constitution. With signing statements, warrantless wiretapping, and the suspension of habeas corpus, among others, George Bush has reduced the bedrock philosophy guiding our nation to rubble. Chris Dodd is the candidate who will restore these founding principles because he is already working to restore them now.

Chris Dodd's fight against telecom immunity is only the latest in a twenty year history of fighting for these values. He stands up for what America is all about - fair laws, equal rights, people power - and he has the experience to get things done.

Jason has been a critical ally on this campaign and his coverage of Chris Dodd has been fantastic. Thanks for the help throughout J-Ro, and we'll be sure to look for more support as Chris Dodd moves forward in the campaign after he receives a ticket out of Iowa from Democratic caucus goers.

Jason Rosenbaum's weekly post on MyDD is up today and it's a great one.

The only candidate from either party that I would trust to shrink executive power is one who makes the Constitution central to his or her arguments, as returning to the Constitution ensures all areas of Bush's expansion are addressed.

The Constitution lies at the heart of Chris Dodd's appeal. He is most known in this campaign for his work on issues in the Senate such as restoring habeas corpus and fighting against telecom immunity. Both of these issues are rooted in the Constitutional argument, and for this reason, I believe, they have been Dodd's most successful to date.

Dodd has also specifically addressed the Constitution at a couple points in his campaign. He makes the very argument that the Constitution protects the country.
