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."

I sure got sucked in. I could just delete the thread to save myself the humiliation, but I'll leave it here so that we have a record of the video.

Well I thought it was legit for about the first minute until I noticed the Onion logo. The fact that it's easy to confuse it for a real congressional proceeding is the story anyway, IMO.
