Ok, I'm pretty sure the first time they had ever heard of the term "Clear & Present Danger" is when that Jack Ryan movie came out.
One good thing about this Birther nonsense is that people who may have never read the Constitution actually cracked it open for a peek. Though I would really love if they could read the Federalist Papers first, especially that happy little section about the dangers of factions.
That could easily have been written by Dwight Schrute. They should find a way to work it into the show. It is so eerily similar to his "perfect date" description, all that's missing are poison arrows.
17th Amendment? The direct election of Senators? I was sure that was a typo until I checked the link. Yep, they want to skip overturning the New Deal and jump right to upending the gains of the Progressive Era.
Why stop there? Let's overturn those child labor laws, and then keep working our way backwards through the amendments. After the income tax, you're tantalizingly close to the 15th and that pesky ban on involuntary servitude on condition of race.
This march would draw maybe 5000 sad, sexually frustrated enzyte users.
I nevertheless fear seeing 5000 sickly white losers with cellphones clipped to braided belts fastened with a bald eagle buckle that holds up american flag print shorts and holds in a generous paunch under a sleeveless t-shirt showing a bald eagle on the american flag with a solitary tear, wrapping its talons around the twin towers and barely covering a pair of generous moobs.
@sparky: The preferred term is "Real American." It applies to Freepers, non-RINO Republicans, the Paulist and Palinist orders, and every one else who won't be lined up against the wall by Real Americans when the revolution starts.
@onebadclam:I couldn't have said it better myself. I remember when I used to like it here. What the hell happened to our country? A tip of the glass and a pass of the joint to you my friend.
@sparky: I thought the Supers were outlawed after the series of farcical lawsuits that resulted from the failed attempt to capture Bomb Voyage by Mr. Incredible. When were they allowed to come out from anonymity?
@Claire Buoyant: Exactly! I'd be fantastically dumbstruck if a single one of these morons could correctly answer even half of the questions on the citizenship exam.
and i also love how "standing" has been reduced to a technicality. doesn't standing mean that there have already been cases exactly like this and the court has already made a decision?
1: the status of being qualified to assert or enforce legal rights or duties in a judicial forum because one has a sufficient and protectable interest in the outcome of a justiciable controversy and usu. has suffered or is threatened with actual injury

IOW: Congress, the FEC, the Electoral College or possibly a state elections commission would have "standing" to file suit, but the average Joe on the street hasn't been personally injured.

Here's the story because I'm sure you want to read about how she's not only incompetent but also a liar.
