Another Comment - by TPO (as J J Sefton)






In Response to Eric Blank's Article
on MinnPost


(#11) On January 7, 2011, Author Editor J.J Sefton says:

It is not too surprising that "conservative" republicans led by the zealot Ms. Bachmann are preparing to take a quick "Constitution for Dummies" course from Judge Scalia. After all, they have all consistently demonstrated that they suffer from a cognitive disharmony that we can call "selective attention disorder." Let's just dub it SAD!

On the other hand, I'm only glad (happy, actually) that the President does not need to take lessons on the Constitution from those dullards at the Supreme Court. I understand he knows the Constitution forward and backward. And I'm glad that at least he recognizes who the heroes of the Constitution were, i.e. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt, to name a few.

And while we are on this topic, may I suggest that we all push for the U.S. Supreme Court to be moved to another location as far away as possible from the Capitol. That way, we'll ensure the judiciary and the legislative bodies will have little contact with each other. They won't have lunch together, or go quail hunting on weekends together. Let's put the U.S. Supreme Court somewhere on the west coast or maybe in Alaska!
