The Frank Church Institute

The Frank Church Institute. What a laugh. Wasn't Senator Frank Church the genius who made it illegal for the President to order the assassinations of people like Castro, Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein? Thanks, Frank.

I don't really see how that's enforceable. I mean, how do you know? I could be president and have some dude go and kill Imanutjob and then lie about the whole thing. Sort of like Clinton.

Yep, Frank Church and the "Church Committee" did more to set back our intelligence services than anyone else. He was defeated for re-election the night Reagan beat Carter. That was a double dose of Really Great News. Frank Church and Al Gore....a pair of clueless idiots.

Frank Church--along with Birch Bayh, Teddy Kennedy, George McGovern and other traitors--also led the Senate action that cut off all funding and military support to South Vietnam so the North Vietnamese communist forces could finally overrun the south in 1975. I can't imagine any institute being named for him unless it is a prison or an insane asylum.
