For example, the Constitution. Here's one Conservative view.

Here's one man who regarded the Constitution as an interesting concept. Conservatives make him a Federal judge. Guess what guides his decisions.

Sunday's New York Times called on Congress to impeach federal judge Jay Bybee over his now infamous role in authoring one of the Bush administration memos arguing for the legality of torture.

"These memos make it clear that Mr. Bybee is unfit for a job that requires legal judgment and a respect for the Constitution," wrote the paper. "Congress should impeach him."
