Frank Lautenberg Thinks Terrorists Should Have More Rights than Tea Partiers

Some people are beyond parody. Back in 2007, Frank Lautenberg voted to expand the right of habeas corpus to foreign citizens detained overseas in the war on terror. In other words, if you are a terrorist, Frank Lautenberg thinks you are not getting all the Constitutional rights you deserve and he is going to do everything he can to make sure you get them. However, if you are a United States citizen who has not committed any crime whatsoever, apart from opposing taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood, Frank Lautenberg believes you deserve no Constitutional rights at all. At a Planned Parenthood rally in Englewood, NJ, Lautenberg, addressing the counterprotestors who were protesting continued government funding of Planned Parenthood, said:

In case you have difficulty making it out, Lautenberg can be heard to say, “These people don’t deserve the freedoms in the Constitution.” In this context, “These people” apparently means the vast majority of Americans who don’t support taxpayer funding of abortion, or at the very least all TEA Party people who feel that way. When an audience member incredulously asks whether Lautenberg really said that, he added ”but we’ll give it to them anyway.” How maganimous.

It is no surprise to find that an elected Democrat thinks pro-lifers and TEA Partiers are worse than terrorists. It’s just surprising to find one so refreshingly honest about it.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

Of course he does.

"... we'll give it to them anyway".

That says it all, doesn't it?  He, like so many of his ilk, believe they can bestow rights out of the goodness of their hearts and revoke them of the undeserving; he has no idea that the Constitution is a set of strictures on him and his ilk; witness that epitome of an arrogant lunatic, Pete Stark, claiming there's nothing Congress can't do.

Sure, to someone who lives with thier head up their ass, I guess that makes sense.

About as much sense as this crap going on down in Iowa!

The Left is sinking deeper and deeper into terminal insanity.  I'm affraid treatment is useless.  They are becoming the undead!
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
