Dick Durbin Flips The Bird To The Constitution

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)

It is a valiant effort on the part of Illinois Senator Dick Durbin to show the country that he still is the biggest "dick" in Washington.
While the Obama administration continues to defy the law of the land in, among the many issues, illegal immigration, the United States Senate held hearings on the DREAM Act, legislation designed to grant amnesty to illegal aliens who are students or have served in the Military.

During the Senate hearing, sen. Durbin introduced several of these illegal aliens and gave a recount of their story, making the following statement:

"When I look around this room, I see America's future. Our doctors, our teachers, our nurses, our engineers, our scientists, our soldiers, our Congressman, our Senators and maybe our President."

But there is a small problem that sen. Dick missed.
Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution says: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."

So what is the message we get from Big Dick Durbin? His were carefully prepared remarks, so the possibility of a "mistake" in his words should be discounted as I want to think that a three minute research would have given the little puppet aid of the senator who wrote the remarks the knowledge of the constitutional limitations for eligibility to the office of the President.

On the other hand, it appears that Illinois politicians have the tendency to be little concerned about that ancient, overblown document, increasingly aiming at rendering it insignificant.
I guess if it worked for Obama, the possibility of an illegal alien to be President cannot be discounted. Not that I am saying Obama is an illegal alien, but defiance of Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution does not appear to be an issue.

The larger and more disturbing picture is the continuous attack and defiance of the Constitution on the part of the Democrat politicians in Washington, be it about Freedom of Speech or the Second Amendment or Obamacare. There appear to be a consistent and increasingly overt attempt on the part of the progressive left in the country to dismantle our guiding document in favor of an unlimited and unchecked power over the American people.
This is a trend that We the People have to reverse if we want to save our country and allow this political experiment called America to remain free.

Just my thoughts!
