Notes from Ferdy - A Modest Proposal for the Supreme Court

by Ferdinand T Cat

While reading the latest news about the censure-Bush effort and Clooney's article in the Huffington Post, it occurred to me there may be a way out of our current political mess.

All we need is a law against being a complete chucklehead.

Now I'm sure Congress would be against that such a law, because at some level most of them would understand the law would force them to give up grandstanding during judicial confirmation hearings. I think, however, that we can do this via the Supreme Court. Although there's nothing in the Constitution that specifically prohibits being a chucklehead, I seem to remember there are foreign laws against public idiocy, and there is already a precedent for using foreign law in Supreme Court decisions.

So, all I need to start the ball rolling is for somebody to sue Howard Dean for being a total chucklehead.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

Could we make it a reverse class action? We might be able to sue not only Dean, but also Clooney, Maureen Dowd and every other barker and flapper in the known universe. OK, I got carried away. We'd only have jurisdiction over the ones in the United States - but that would be a good start.
