They need to be over 25 and stand for reelection every two years.

And in any case, isn't 'criminal congressman' redundant?

It's so painful how morally bankrupt so-called "leaders" use the Constitution as a weapon for whatever argument they wish to make.

I'll bet a dollar to a do-nut Charlie Rangel has never read the Constitution.

There is nothing in the Constitution regarding the right to build places of worship. It simply states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

Liberals love to say "The Constitution is clear" when they think it can be used to rally support around their position. Otherwise it is a "living document" that can be twisted to support their cause of the day.

The age of federal bullying needs to come to an end.

Progressives are extremely selective regarding whose property rights they are willing to respect and defend. It would be one thing if they supported everyone’s rights equally and impartially. But the clearly evident truth is that they support the rights of enemies and invaders, but dance with glee at the idea of dissing the rights of whites, men, straights and “the rich.”

or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

Unless the religion is a death cult out to destroy freedom and liberty.

Sorry, but an amendment to clarify this point is necessary.

If I were selling nails for the democrats’ political coffin, I’d name the gold-plated one, “support the mosque.”

Rangel said. "The Constitution is clear,".....

.....Except then the religion we are talking about is Christianity.

I am so sick of these anti-Christian un-American RATS. They twist everything against Christianity and toward everything that is destructive of America.

Good question. Is there a money trail between Charlie and the Ground Zero mosque?
