Well, I can tell you that he is right if he did say it. The US Constitution was suspended in 1933 and has never been reinstated. The government has been operating under emergency executive power (martial law) since FDR. In fact, the courts don't even practice law anymore, only public policy. The gold fringe you see on the national flag displayed in coutrooms denotes military authority.

There is no video evidence that Bush said this but it is obvious that he thinks this. I also found a source that talks about it in print:
Bush on the Constitution
“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”
“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
I don't know how reliable this source is either but just putting it up there

I posted a thread on this a while back, so I don't know if it actually includes all of what I have found. But here's a start anyway. Feel free to U2U me if you want more info.
U.S. Constitution invalid for nearly 75 years
I'll try to get back here later to post some more info on it as well.
