not all our elected representa
tives, for instance, are altruistic
. the nature of the job allows for the inclusion of narcissist

from what we've seen of the tea party, it's plainly apparent many haven't read the Constituti
on in its entirety. all i've heard has been about the 2nd and 10th Amendments

it may be that the same kind of thing will happen here. even so, once read into the Congressio
nal Record, there won't be any excuses if they go against it.
one of the things that's been done lately is that many on the right are interpreti
ng the Constituti
on, as well, usurping the powers of the Supreme Court. this tends to worry me. . .
