Gephardt Issues Order Making Himself President

(2003-06-23) -- Just a day after announcing that he would use executive orders to overturn Supreme Court decisions, Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-MO, announced today that he has appointed himself President of the United States, effective immediately.

"I have duly sworn myself in as president," he said. "Instead of having the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court administer the oath of office, I just issued an executive order effective retroactively in advance."

President Gephardt has already issued an executive order making it illegal to "challenge the constitutionality of my reign as president."

Abe Lincoln issued an arrest warrant for Roger Taney, Chief Justice of the SCOTUS, when in the Civil War, Taney in vain ruled against Lincoln’s suspension of the writ of habeas corpus (see Merryman, ex parte) and carried it in his pocket for months just in case Taney stepped out of line.

We have GOT to make a note of all the notable/outrageous quotes the 'Rats say this campaign season. Between him, Sharpton and the rest of the loons, there's quite a list already.
