Maine Republicans Adopt Tea Party Platform

U.S. Constitution

I...damn.
What?
I can't even...

...What?

As I posted in Sir Nitram's thread on this article:

I wonder if that box of copies of the Constitution were annotated by the ACLU. Describing the meaning of clauses and amendments while, I presume, taking into account case law and/or the position of the ACLU would certainly come across as anti-American to the kind of Republican that would go rifling through a teacher's classroom papers and tear down posters that they don't like.

Even so! That's still the single most bizarre thing I've read this entire year. Possible this decade. I mean, fucking really, I cannot wrap my brain around the absurdity of that statement.

All you need to remember is four letters: ACLU.

If they did indeed annotate it then their annotations are going to run counter to what Republicans tend to believe about the Constitution. If they didn't annotate it, well, it's still a box marked ACLU, so these kind of people are going to see it as their duty to investigate so that the young minds in the classroom aren't damaged by unAmerican ideas, so to speak.
