[Janus Press] Bush, George W.

[Broadside] "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"

[Newark], VT: Janus Press, 2006. Broadside. Item #10457

Broadside. 22-1/2" x 15." Edition unknown. Collage broadside with a facsimile of the U.S. Constitution on a cream laid paper across which is laid the printed line: "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!" Beneath the facsimile is a description. A fine copy, or nearly so.

This was printed by Van Vliet and Ellen Dorn Levitt at the Janus Press for the 219th Anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. It relays an unfortunate outburst by then President George W. Bush in an Oval Office meeting between Republican Congressional leaders discussing the renewal of the USA Patriot Act in November of 2005. And while this was a moment in time, the sentiment remains relevant in terms of the continued degradation of the founding document in the subsequent decade.
