A Canadian Prime Minister once dismissed a reporter's question about the constutionality of a proposed piece of legislation.
Oh, we'll get around the constitution, Jean Chretein said with a laugh.
At the time I thought how typically Canadian the response was. No Canadian seemed to be bothered by a PM who held our constitution in so little regard.
It would be different in the USA, I pronounced.
Maybe not. Princess of Botox Pelosi dismissed a similar question about constitutionality.
The exchange with Speaker Pelosi on Thursday wen like this:
CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”
Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”
CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”
Pelosi wouldn't even deign to fabricate a lie such as, It's covered under the general welfare clause! To Pelosi the question was so stupid and irrelevant she just shook her curled and dyed locks in disdain.
Now that the constitution is officially just a piece of paper, and dead white guys' paper at that, we can solve the economic crises very simply: Mandate that everyone buy a car and a house. The government owned banks would supply the loans. Why fight it? Let's all become serfs of Princess Pelosi
In a truly law abiding country, Pelosi would be marched to the brig awaiting trial for breaking her oath to uphold the constitution. Alas, this is modern hand full of gimmee America, where no one is worried about anything politicians do so long as the freebies keep coming.
What was that Franklin said? A republic, if you can keep it!
Our grandkids are going to hate us for what we allowed to happen to the USA.
Stand up. Freedom is a terrible thing to waste.
