Repeated rants against the Koch brothers appear to be insufficient to calm Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev). “What's needed,” says Reid, “is a Constitutional Amendment aimed specifically at stopping them.”
“These two men are an existential threat to America,” Reid argued. “They are, perhaps, the single biggest factor behind global warming. We cannot afford to treat them like ordinary citizens. Extraordinary measures must be taken to stave off their attacks on our Government.”
The “attacks” Reid wants to stave off are studies that contradict Administration policies and candidates that vie to unseat Democratic officeholders—both funded by donations from the Koch brothers.
“The Koch brothers are hiding behind the freedom of speech that our Constitution guarantees for true patriots,” Reid asserted. “They will continue to exploit this loophole until we take action to close it.”
The Senator contends that “a simple revision to the First Amendment that would abridge freedom of speech for only the Koch brothers would do the trick. Everyone else's freedom would remain untouched. Only these two malefactors of great wealth would be impacted.”
“Amending the Constitution in this way would enable Congress to pass legislation aimed specifically at sanctioning the nefarious activities of the Kochs,” Reid explained. “And courts would be barred from overturning these laws because the Constitution would explicitly permit clamping down on the Kochs.”

One would have to conclude that there are hundreds of cases of dementia in the US Congress based on their behavior, ya think?
This is far closer to a straight news story than it is satire.
One word: SOROS!
One of these days, we’ll see foam on his muzzle, as he keeps mumbling incoherently, “ Koch brothers...Koch brothers....”
The highest ranking member of congress attacking two private citizens — truly Nazi type behavior.
Someone please inform this moron that in order for an amendment to be adopted it must be approved by two thirds of both the house and the senate and then three fourths of the states. He can “propose” all he wants, it ain’t gonna happen.
Reid was a former boxer so the effects of all those concussions are now magnified.
Koch Bros. Derangement Syndrome.
Speaking as someone with early onset dementia, I resent the implication!
Harry and McShame need to be roomates in a home for the senile.
There sure are.
You really had me going there for a minute. This is definitely closer to the truth than it is to fiction...SCARY LOL
The research doctors are looking into a cure for Alzheimer’s/senile dementia. It has something to do with
taking a 10x overdose of measles vaccine. It’s just experimental now, but it’s coming down the pike.
My sister died of Alzheimers last August 7.
