Who heard Senator Roberts this morning? I think it was CNN.
First, he didn't appear to know that to defeat the Constitution you need 67% in a province to vote "no." He thought it was 51%. The he says that instead of three provinces voting no, it should have been 6. 6 of 18 can defeat it so 12 of 18 would support it. THAT would be a strong constitution? When essentially 1/3 of the population is opposed? These people are soooo desperate.

1. Didn't he claim that he more up to date info than Wolf?
That's what my wife says she heard him say.

2. Yep, I saw it. I was surprised. He at least usually knows what he's
talking about. I don't agree with his opinions, but this morning he sounded pretty dumb, and that's unusual for him.

3. He was a complete idiot!
He couldn't explain how women would actually be protected if the country's laws were based on Islamic law ... just kept muttering that the word SHARIA didn't appear anywhere in the constitution ...

He really couldn't explain anything ...

Just kept muttering (disingenuously) how everything is great ... huh?

4. Roberts couldn't find his fanny if he had six hands. He is
a BushCo professional.

5. You both wrong.
http://www.oefre.unibe.ch/law/icl/iz00000_.html

Section 61(c).

To defeat, one needs an overall majority opposed OR two thirds of three provinces opposed.

6. I'm more right than him
And I don't even get paid for it. I knew about the 2/3 of three provinces but I didn't know about the majority.
