thinkprogress.org — White House spokesperson Dana Perino tried desperately to downplay yesterday’s report showing that Vice President Cheney has exempted his office from a presidential executive order designed to safeguard classified national security information. At one point, Perino called it “a little bit of a non-story.”

Yes, if only people with agricultural degrees were writing the laws instead of people with law degrees. Lawyers are eeeviiil.You know that golden age never happened, right? 35 of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention were lawyers.

I'm not an American. So your attempt at putting the onus back onto me falls flat.

I've perused that site a bit. It looks to me like your entire plan involves me sending you money and voting against all incumbents. Somehow this is supposed to result in the congress becoming so shaken up as to edit the 14th amendment with the result that corporate lobbyists are removed from Washington. There are a few things I don't quite understand though.1. Exactly how would you use the money you ask us to send you?2. Since the voting machines are rigged, how do you suggest we successfully vote for or against anyone?3. Why is it realistic to expect congresspeople to care more about the possibility of themselves being voted out than losing the billions of dollars they get from corporate lobbyists?4. You state that if the 14th amendments didn't say "persons" than it would give corporations the same rights as people. I'm not a legal expert, but that doesn't sound entirely convincing to me, aren't there plenty of other laws and rulings that have defined corporations as people, (many more directly), which would need to be changed? And further, even if the "corporate person" status was removed, wouldn't laws still need to be passed specifically to prohibit corporate lobbyists? Couldn't those laws be passed without a need for altering the 14th?
