Powerful people doing the opposite of what they should be doing

Filed under: fuck bush, politics, people suck — J-Ho at 11:55 am on Friday, July 13, 2007

Hey, dickcheeks: Could you at least pretend that you’ve read the Constitution for a change? If you don’t want to read the whole thing, here is an excerpt that lists some powers given to the legislative thingie. If you don’t feel like reading the excerpt, let me tell you that they should be telling you to fuck off.

“To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;

“To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;

“To provide and maintain a navy;

“To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;

“To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;”

“To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.”

Edit: You know that adorable catch phrase “cut and run” that Bush started throwing around when anti-war folk started getting really noisy? Yeah, the one he used as an insult, like he was describing something only the most anti-American America-haters would think of doing. Whatever. Cut and run. Please. Cut, then run. Cut. Run. 1) Cut 2) Run.

Who made this guy a judge?

Abridged version:

1) Woman is allegedly raped.
2) Judge bars all parties from using words “rape,” “victim,” “assailant,” and “sexual-assault kit” during trial.
3) Woman and victims’ rights groups protest.
4) Judge declares mistrial.
5) Judge blames woman for mistrial.
6) Judge implicitly promotes rape.

One more quickie: Fight them there so that we won’t have to fight them here, eh? Not a bad idea, but it helps if you get the “there” part right.

I read about that rape case. What a stunning asshole that judge is. The good part is, the woman refused to identify herself as an “unwilling sperm recipient” (George Carlin thought he was telling a joke when he coined that term! how sad!) or whatever it is he wanted her to do. She just kept right on saying “rape,” which was the best thing she could have done.

The second best — which I hope I would have done if I were in her shoes — would have been to choose a completely innocuous term like “dental floss” and use it wherever she meant “rape.” When questioned about this by the lawyers, she could explain that “dental floss” was just as accurate a way to describe what happened to her as the one the judge suggested.
