Impeach McCain

So now John McCain (R-Asshat) thinks ‘clean’ government is a more important value than the Constitution he swore to uphold. How a man who has spent the majority of his adult life under oath to protect and defend the Constitution can display such a complete lack of understanding of it still amazes me.

More to the direct point: why does a man who freely admits his personal policy preferences should outweigh the Constitution get to continue in his role as Senator? There is a process for amending the document. You want to eliminate the First Amendment, a prospect some people would salivate at, you know how to do it. You don’t get to abrogate it by passing laws that directly fly in the face of the plain language of the Constitution.

Well, you shouldn’t get to, anyway. The sad ugly truth is that he’s gotten away with it once and will likely get away with again, because all his pernicious scheming does is benefit incumbents who are just as incapable of reading as he is. The odd congresscritter voted against campaign finance the first time, so one can always hope more votes appear against the sequel.

In the meantime, people living in Arizona should think long and hard about the asshat they have as a senior Senator. If he won’t respect this right, what other rights won’t he respect when they conflict with his desired outcomes? We all know that John McCain is smarter and more qualified than you to determine what’s important and what isn’t, right? I mean, isn’t that why y’all elected him? If that’s not why, he needs to go, and sooner rather than later. Replace him with someone who, at the very least, can display some minimal reading comprehension skills.
