We all know him as the Fredo Corleone (“I’m smart, Mike”) of Hung Angels. Yes, it’s everyone’s favorite factually challenged yokel, White_Male_Canada. As we all know, White_Male_Closet_Case has been busy inundating us with his unique brand of factually selective reading incomprehension for some time now. Since we've all had such a good laugh at his expense, I thought we would could analyze some of his "genius" and see if we can put our finger on just what led to such an obvious impairment
1. The first instance of idiocy:
Anyone who would claim that the extreme right as being in favor of dictatorship has no fundamental understanding of the political spectrum.
Easily proved wrong:
In the modern world, the term far right is applied to those who support authoritarianism. . . . Their favored authoritarian state can be an absolute monarchy, but more often today it is some form of oligarchy or military dictatorship.
In the English-speaking nations this is often a nationalism descended from the militant aspects of British New Imperialism. Hence the groups labelled far-right often embrace . . . militarism.

2.The second instance of idiocy:
McCain . . . shredded the 1st with his McCain-Feingold bill.
Easily proved wrong:
a. The House voted 240-189 for the McCain- on 14 February 2002;
b. The Senate voted for the House's version of the bill by 60-40, on 20 March;
c. President Bush signs McCain-Feingold on March 27, 2002;
d. The Supreme Court upheld McCain-Feingold’s key provisions on September 8, 2003;
e. McCain-Feingold is the law of the land.
3. The third instance of idiocy:
The USSC is NOT the ultimate authority on such matters ,Congress is.
Easily proved wrong:
While Congress has ultimate authority to modify or set aside any such rules that are not constitutionally required, e.g., Palermo v. United States, 360 U.S. 343, 345—348, it may not supersede this Court’s decisions interpreting and applying the Constitution see, e.g., City of Boerne v. Flores, 521 U.S. 507, 517—521.
In matters of constitutional interpretation, the Court’s rulings are the supreme law of the land, whether they are decided unanimously or by a single vote.
. . . it is fundamental that Congress not legislate contradiction to a constitutional interpretation of the Supreme Court.
According to a unanimous ruling by the Court in the Little Rock crisis, Marbury ''declared the basic principle that [u]the federal judiciary is supreme in the exposition of the law of the Constitution.'' Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1 (1958). That principle was reasserted by the Court in the reapportionment case of Baker v. Carr (1962): Deciding whether a matter has in any measure been committed by the Constitution to another branch of government, or whether action of that branch exceeds whatever authority has been committed, is itself a delicate exercise in constitutional interpretation, and a responsibility of [b]this Court as ultimate interpreter of the Constitution.'', Seven years later, in the exclusion case of Adam Clayton Powell, the Court again referred to itself as the ''ultimate interpreter'' of the Constitution., Powell v. McCormack, 395 U.S. 486, 549 (1969).
It is, emphatically, the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.
4. The fourth instance of idiocy:
Too bad the guy who wrote the fucking Constitution [James Madison] and the rest of the founders disagree with the assholes like you and lawyers you quote [that the Supreme Court is the ultimate authority with respect to interpreting constitutionality]!
Easily proved wrong:
. . . [i]many of the Founding Fathers expected the Supreme Court to assume this role in regard to the Constitution; Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, for example, had underlined the importance of judicial review in the Federalist Papers, which urged adoption of the Constitution.

P.S. What do you want to bet that White_Male_Emulation copies my creation of a poll, etc., like he has so many other aspects of my debating style (vocabulary, format)? LMFAO…… Imitation truly is the sincerest form of flattery…
