Republican 11th hour dirty trick on Gay Bashing Amendment



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Ok, this is truly surreal, as HRC's Cheryl Jacques noted today. The Republicans, at the 11th hour, have now come up with a NEW Gay Bashing Amendment that they want to vote on. Were there hearings on this amendment? No. Did the public get word of this amendment so we could examine it and debate it and its implications? No. Did the media get an advance copy? No. But Senators SURELY must have gotten an advance copy of the amendment. No, not them either.

As Cheryl Jacques so aptly put it: "I think it is outrageous and frankly surreal that at the 11th hour in this debate, they are literally rewriting the Constitution on the back of a napkin."

These disgusting people haven't had enough fun gay-bashing in the Constitution, no, now they want to treat the Constitution like some dirty old kleenex rather than the revered document that founded our nation. These people are nothing less than pigs.

Oh yeah, and if that didn't piss you off enough, the Republicans want to open the process so that anyone can offer amendments to the amendment. That means, flag burning and whatever other crazy amendment some wacko Republican fringe group wants - overturning Roe? - can be tacked on, on a whim. What a lovely frivolent way to amend the Constitution.
