Just thinking out loud. The President's claim of unilateral and dictorial power, and ability to ignore the rule of law, has me pissed off (and made me scared for our country) more than ever. Its good to see the Dems starting to talk tough -- comparing the Repub corruption to the mob and talking impeachment. All of this fire brewing, I came up with what I think is a cool idea for a Dem protest during the SOTU.
Every single Democrat should get a minature copy of the Constition on parchment paper (8 X 11 1/2 paper), and they should bring it to the SOTU. It should be rolled up and carried in noticiably by every Democrat. Of course the presss should be alerted on the night of as to what exactly they are holding. Then, when the President inevitably makes his claims about torture and wiretapping being necessary, the Democrats should boo, waive their constitutions in the air or unfurl them and waive them indignantly.
Its a great protest, will distract Bush and take away a lot of his thunder (after the same old Bush speech, the press corp will love talking about the Democratic opposition action)...
Question, what do you think? And how can we make this happen?
Thanks much for you comments,
Palooza.
