When Joe Wilson made his famous “You lie!” remark during a previous Obama speech to Congress, the democrats got enraged. Their rationale was that the President is an invited guest of Congress, and that it is rude to invite a guest into your home then insult him. Ok, fine. The Supreme Court justices are invited guests as well of Congress then. If you invite a guest into your home and they take the opportunity to insult the other guest that you have invited into your home, isn’t that just as wrong? I wish more GOP members of Congress would have made this point: “President Obama was a guest of Congress. It is entirely inappropriate for him to use that opportunity as a platform to insult our other guests, the Supreme Court of the United States. Joe Wilson was criticized for insulting President Obama in a previous address to Congress and what the President did tonight was just as offensive. I’m sure Speaker of House Nancy Pelosi will be bringing a vote to the floor of the House to allow us to put on the record our displeasure with the President’s insult of our other guests.”
Great point!
