When He’s Right, He’s Right
I have to give Newt this one: Citizens United was indeed an arrogant misreading of the American people.
My takeaway from the debate segment on the courts is that every Republican candidate except Paul was cryogenically frozen in 1968, recently woke up, and have never been informed about the death of Earl Warren. Well, except Perry, who has never had any idea who Earl Warren is. I’m so old that I remember assertions that Bush v. Gore would end conservative lectures about “judicial activism”…
…shorter Mittens: I oppose discrimination against gays and lesbians, except when it comes to fundamental rights.
…Shorter Newt: I want to decrease abortion by radically increasing unplanned pregnancies.
And if you switch the digits around, you can come up with the year in which Paul was frozen.
1689?
Sure–the year of the English Bill of Rights
For example, the proto-second amendment:
That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law
Actually I was thinking 19th century. take your pick for ’96 or ’69.
My understanding is that most men would pick 69
So are we approaching the point where Newt’s demise begins to be characterized as Tea Party extremism?
Wheras Paul was cryogenically frozen in 1905?
