Playing By With The Rules

Roberta X addresses the inconvenient fact that Indiana Scumsucker Dickhead Lugar lists his "residence" as a house he hasn't lived in (in fact, sold) for freaking decades. She observes that, "Even Senators have to play by the rules" should have to play by the rules."

Play by the rules? Heck, most Senators (and I specifically include Lugar, based on extensive personal correspondence with same nutjob) aren't even playing with all their marbles. Judging by New Hampshire's senators Shaheen and Ayotte, relinquishing their marbles is apparently a job requirement: Live in-state? They aren't in the same spacetime continuum.

Constitutionally-speaking, she's right. But following the Constitution is alien to the vast majority of DC Swamp Things, and has been for centuries; the Alien & Sedition Acts spring to mind - duly passed by the House and Senate, signed by an oath-breaking President. Why should you expect them to start now?

Heh. This bears a passing resemblance to the whole Obama-is-really-from-Kenya bit*. People are sweating whether or not these guys pass Constitutional muster to hold offices where violating the Constitution is regular, everyday business.
