What about the utter contempt it evinces for the basic Constitutional principles on which the United States rests?
I mean, I looked closely at the Constitution and I do not see, "create an unelected, unaccountable, second-track presidency" as a Constitutional remedy for an incapacitated president. I challenge anyone to find me the place in the Constitution where it says this is okay.
I find it strange that everyone's first reaction is to try to guess who it is. Mine--and I would have thought everyone's--is to scream, "Who the fuck elected *you*?"
That person, whoever he is, took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Did he read it first? He'll see clearly there are two and only two remedies for the situation he describes: Impeachment and the 25th. Nowhere does it say this:
Where the hell is the basic respect for the Constitution? The basic respect for the principles on which our government was founded? What kind of person advertises himself as a Conservative while pissing on the Constitution in public?
Nothing, I think, has ever made me feel more more naive for believing it all and revering the Constitution. And I did. And I do .The first time I saw it in the Library of Congress, all yellowed and weatherbeaten, my eyes filled with tears. I really thought we all felt that way.
Apparently, this asshole not only does not, not only assumes none of us do, but thinks we'll applaud him for pissing on it in public -- anonymously. And meanwhile, we get worked up over NFL players who kneel during the national anthem.
