Old saying: "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session."

Pre-Andy Jackson, too.

Notice his oversized eyes? That was a shtick he copied from Alexander the Great, who bulged his eyes to cater for the Greek hoi-polloi belief that people could recognize gods in their midst by their bulging, blazing eyeballs ..... their godhead trying to burst out.

It was a good racket for Al the Greaser, and Octavian borrowed it .... howbeit he was a milquetoast who got sick at the drop of a hat and completely unprepossessing except when he cranked up his "god-in-a-body" game.

Marbury v. Madison

It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that, in declaring what shall be the supreme law of the land, the Constitution itself is first mentioned, and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which shall be made in pursuance of the Constitution, have that rank.
Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that
a law repugnant to the Constitution is void,
and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.

Presstitutes like Brooks would be among the first group that a benign dictator dealt with. These morons should really read some history.

Brooks is supposed to be smart?

Brooks doesn't have to be smart. He writes for the NY Slimes.

I already do not watch PBS Newshour on Fridays because of Brooks.

I am beginning to think I should just quit watching anything on that station.

The GOP should demand that he re-register as something else.

I think instead, its time to torch the GOP.
