:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

"We meddle with the Constitution to our own peril," Barr said. "If we begin to treat the Constitution as our personal sandbox, in which to build and destroy castles as we please, we risk diluting the grandeur of having a constitution in the first place." (In response to repukes wanting a constitution amendment banning gay marriages.

Mind you, I know Bob Barr and I will never be on the same team, but even a broken clock is right twice a day

:eyes:

He's a hypocritical asshole, but geez, he makes sense!

3. too bad he can't see the connection between his quote and
Edited on Tue Jun-22-04 11:49 AM by Solly Mack
his drive to have Clinton impeached. Just as adding "bans" to(meddling with) the Constitution is dangerous, so, too, is using what already exist within the Constitutions framework as your own personal axe to grind.

The constitution can be abused in any number of ways......

4. Bob is just worried that if
the repubs start screwing with the Consistution that when the democrats get back in they will repeal the second ammed. Bob Barr is coming out with a new book about Clinton and he also just got turned down by the supreme court on a lawsuit against James Carville and Mrs. Clinton. In short Bob Barr is still a huge asshole thats not on our side at all.

5. I think the best thing for Bob Barr, "the person"
is getting voted out of office. He has gotten away from all of the political brainwashing going on with the GOP in Washington and is actually starting to think a little bit more clearly and rationally. For his sake, I hope it continues.
