Our favorite San Francisco liberal has done it again with her recent trip to Syria. Nancy Pelosi went against the wishes of the president and met with the President of Syria against the wishes of the White House.

Even if her actions in Syria were beneficial (which they were not), she has set a bad precedent that shows her lack of understanding for the US Constitution. Yes, the Bush administration sometimes seems to treat the Constitution as a scrap of paper, but it is beyond hypocritical for the democrats to claim they will restore the Constitution when they themselves go against the very principles they claim to uphold.

We are in a dangerous place when our Congress threatens to dictate the foreign policy of the President of the United States. If Newt Gingrich had traveled to Bosnia to meet with officials when Bill Clinton was in office, there would have been a tremendous outcry. The overall state of American politics shows how little our politicians know or care about the real issues. It seems that they would all rather fight amongst themselves than protect the nation they have sworn to serve.
