“The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”
“There is no Supreme Court in the American Constitution"
-Newt Gingrich-
Really, Newt? Are you really a history professor? Do you really think we're that stupid?
It's getting hard to tolerate the stench coming out of the pre-caucus Republican cesspool; from Presidential candidates getting government funds -- our tax dollars -- to teach people how to pray away the gay and advocating the use of Federal might to stamp out all forms of pornography frowned on by their frowning religion and to legislate and limit and punish our personal relationships -- while griping about too much government interference and too much spending and too much social engineering. It's getting damned hard to tolerate morally, mentally and ethically bankrupt creeps like Newt Gingrich, who is quite happy to feed the malignant idiocy now consuming the remnants of our Republic by telling us that our constitution does not "mention" much less provide for a supreme court, Article III of the Constitution notwithstanding.
"We now have this entire national elite that wants us to believe that any five lawyers are a Constitutional convention. That is profoundly un-American and profoundly wrong.”
lies the moral multimillionaire elitist with the million dollar line of credit at the jewelry store and a string of illicit mistresses and abused ex-wives. That's profoundly un-American and profoundly wrong and profoundly Republican. But of course anyone who thinks the highest court is an extra-legal ad hoc assembly of five self-appointed members foisted on the public by "elitists" and with no constitutional authority can hardly be considered an elitist of any kind unless there's a ranking of candidates according to their ignorance and mendacity and greed. Perhaps Newt just forgot that the Supreme Court Justices are approved by Congress or perhaps he's just a lying tub of septic scum who thinks he's entitled by birth and party affiliation to feast on the corpse of America.
You can fool some of the people all of the time: you can fool a lot of them in fact. They're called Republicans. They're called perverts, they're called liars, thieves, embezzlers and saboteurs.
Not that I give a shit, of course.
ReplyDeleteBut, but, but, Captain! Without liars and prevaricators such as the amphibian Newt, who would we have to kick around? Raise Richard Nixon from the dead? The Gingrinch marginalizes himself far more than we possibly can.
ReplyDeleteBesides, you gotta give-a-shit in order to heave-a-shit, as your always terrific rants exemplify.
I think it's a matter of a simple typo. That is supposed to read:
ReplyDelete"There is no Supreme Court in their American Constitution"
you mean their fantasy constitution, I guess. They have no idea what's in it, have told us it's a quaint anachronism and Joe McCarthy even said that referencing it was the mark of the Communist, but still, they can accuse Obama of "shredding" it even after their last administration set records in ignoring it. Remember when the Bush Bastards told us there was no Probably Cause wording in the Bill of Rights?
ReplyDeleteI'd call these people sick, perverted bastards, but that would be an unwonted offense to sick perverted bastards. Actually I just don't have the words.
I thought everything just went straight to the House of Representin'. I saw it on Idiocracy.
ReplyDeleteThis stuff is par for the course. Just watched a clip of some conservative "news" chap proudly putting it out there that we didn't have any terrorist attacks on our soil during Mr. Bush's administrations. Nope. None. And nobody bothered to correct him, either.
And we have slithering slugs like Mitch McConnell who would like to take Congress out of the equation because elections don't work.
ReplyDeleteWhat it's really all about is an attempt to privatize government itself, which of course is, I think, a nice example of feudalism.
That this kind of insanity gets massive air time and damned little critical analysis and that Americans vote and fight by tribal affiliation -- and wouldn't have the basic background information to understand what's going on even if they did step outside the war dance long enough to look -- makes giving a damn a crushing burden.
