Congress has lost its mind...
 
Check out the latest bill from the buffoons in Congress and take it to its logical conclusion then find a rock to hide under

Congress wishes to confer upon itself the power to overturn Supreme Court decisions that render acts of Congress unconstitutional.

This can't be happening.

I keep repeating myself, but I have to say it again: our government is going insane.

At what point do the citizens start to take a stand against these changes?

Troubleshooter 05-24-2004 12:11 PM

All the Supreme Court has to do is declare the act unconstitutional.

:D

Congress has no mind to loose. A new paper published in that august scientific monograph The Journal of Irreproducible Results, reports the findings of a team of evolutionary biologists who have made public the findings of a 20 year study that they conducted on the life form we call "Congress," scientific name Congressia multistupidia. The study shows that Congress has devolved into a colonial life form with no central nervous system or brain, much like the jelly fish. It can also sting like the jelly fish when it feels threatened. This explains much. ;)

Politics serves the purpose in America that the Catholic Church did in Europe in Medieval times. It is the place that wealthy family send their lesser sons, and now daughters, to keep them from screwing up the family business.

Just as our best and brightest no longer become teachers, so it is in politics.

(Perry5, to save you the trouble ... that's poli meaning many and tics meaning blood sucking parasites.)

That is so true.

1) Are we positive he isn't already there?

2) Does anyone remember 3/4 years ago, which state had all of its geniouses get together and pass the resolution that - currently they don't want to, but they reserve the right to secede from the union if they choose? This was only a couple of years ago, somewhere in the southwest.

Maybe they should team up with these folk. In fact, I'd prefer they did, since I like the beaches in South Carolina.

The religious right want to form their own nation? If that means they'll stay out of my government, I'll donate money to help them along.

I feel bad for the rational people who will have the misfortune to suffer the invasion.

or "reinforcement."

DanaC 05-24-2004 05:21 PM

...peacekeeping force

Happy Monkey 05-24-2004 05:22 PM

Actually, I feel bad for the people who will see them as reinforcements, too.

Just like I'd feel bad for crackheads if I saw a massive migration of dealers heading to them.
