The Secret Government: The Constitution in Crisis, by Bill Moyers

As we discover more each day about how willing the Republicans have been to lie under oath to Congress, we should also recognise that this is not a new phenomenon. This has been something that Republicans have been doing since the days of Nixon and Reagan, deciding that there are greater causes than upholding the American Constitution. It is this mindset that led Bush to refer to it as, "just a piece of paper". This documentary details the birth of this mindset which, as Gonzales' recent behaviour towards Congress proves, is as prevalent today as it has ever been.
