Classes Start Soon for Bachmann's Constitutional Conservative Caucus

If tea party darling Michele Bachmann gets her way, conservative broadcaster Sean Hannity, Fox legal analyst Andrew Napolitano and David Barton, a Christian evangelist who has said church-state separation is "a myth," will make up the faculty roster when the first classes of her new constitutional conservative caucus convene in the next Congress.

"Scholars such as David Barton, members of the media who cherish principles such as Sean Hannity, honorable commentators such as Judge Napolitano, honorable judges and justices, and leading legal minds will and have been invited to speak," Brooke Bialke, Bachmann's deputy chief of staff, said in an e-mail. "Topics ranging from the commerce clause to the intersection of constitutional principles with daily concerns such as Medicare will be covered."

"I hope the new members -- as well as returning ones -- do not get their constitutional understanding from an echo chamber rather than from the marketplace of ideas," said New York Democrat Jerrold Nadler, outgoing chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.

He cited some new members with "bizarre ideas about the Constitution, some of which are dangerous." Among them: the belief that civil rights laws are unconstitutional; that the 14th Amendment, which gives automatic citizenship to anyone born in the United States, applies only to freed slaves and their descendants; and that the 17th Amendment, which provides for direct election of senators by the people instead of state legislatures, should be repealed.

I wish I could put more of the article here.

1. There should be a counter class to it. Question is though why

they do not have even the base understanding of the Constitution in the first place to run for any freakin office.

2. Some would say that god told them to run

Some would say that they know how to get this country
back to where it belongs. Others I would guess feel that they want to control others
and tell them how to live their lives.

3. I wonder if Bachmann will finally break down and read the actual Constitution.

Probably not.
