Constitution? - Comments (0) Ellis Posey - 2/5/2010 SCENE: President Barack Obama and the Democrat leadership meet in a secret basement room in the White House.   PRES. OBAMA: I hope all of you have good suggestions for rewriting the U. S. Constitution. First, let me read what I jotted down. "We the People, in order to make the unions more perfect..." (Pause, waiting for applause which does not come). Okay, Whadda you got, Harry?   SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID: This war is lost!   PRES. OBAMA: Shut up, Harry. Get over Iraq, okay? Anybody else?   SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER: Why bother. Everybody knows the Constitution is unconstitutional. We all know how the Supreme Court decision to support free speech has undermined our agenda to fundamentally transform America. After extreme right wing members of the Supreme Court testify at my senate committee hearing they will to all go to jail anyway...   SEN. REID: This war is lost!   PRES. OBAMA: Shut up, Harry. Whadda you got, Nancy?   HOUSE SPEAKER PELOSI: Listen to this new First Amendment. "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of Republicans, Tea Partyers, Fox News or conservative talk shows on TV and radio."   SEN. REID: This war is lost!   PRES. OBAMA: Shut up Harry. Good start Nancy. See me after the meeting. I have a list of others to add to that, as soon as I can check my TelePrompter to see what they are. Anybody else got ideas?   REP. BARNEY FRANK: Have any of you seen Amendment Ten in the old Constitution? Outrageous! Let me read it. "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The People! Outrageous! That undoes most of the legislation we’ve passed in the last 80 years."   SEN. REID: This war is lost!   PRES. OBAMA: What do I have to do to get you to shut up, Harry? You have to get over George W’s Iraq war.   SEN REID: "I don’t mean the Iraq war. I mean if I don’t get re-elected in November, and we lose the house and senate, this war on the Constitution is lost!"   PRES. OBAMA: Shut up and get outta here, Harry.
