Perhaps John paid a prison visit to Monica and she gave it to him.

Someone should tell Conyers that it isn’t the “good and Welfare clause”; it’s the “Good and Plenty” clause.

[jonrick46]

Perhaps he was thinking of the Line My Pockets clause in the Constitution. For him it is always, ‘line my pockets.’ That’s the ticket.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Been in Congress how many years?

And still hasn’t read The Constitution . . . what a joke . . the good and welfare clause LOL at the idiocy

[traditional1]

Just curious; how do you “opt out” of Social Security, and/or, refuse to participate and donate to it?

[shibumi]

This story is obviously out of whole cloth.

It presumes two things that are patently absurd -

First, that Conyers can read.

Second that he’s used that ability (Ha!) to peruse the Constitution.

I’m here for an argument...

Probably when they read the Constitution in Congress a few days ago, more than likely the first time Conyers has been exposed to it. I'm sure SOMEONE had to read it TO him, knowing his obvious mental state

He also found one to stop the shipment of Marines to Guam, and Hank Johnson convinced Conyers the island would tip over from the extra weight.



He also probably consulted with that renowned Constitutional scholar, Shiela Jackson Lee before making this announcement.

“Come on. We already have Medicare. Who do you think runs that? We already have Medicaid. What about Social Security?”

3 fallacies in this:

PETITIO PRINCIPII

CONVERTING A CONDITIONAL

FALSE ANALOGY

[Iron Munro]

Conyers couldn’t find his own arse with both hands and a secret map with detailed instructions in Ebonics.

[NewJerseyJoe]

Yeah — no doubt, in the same way that Harry Blackmun “found” a rationale for killing babies in the Constitution....

[freekitty]

Forcing individuals is not a good idea, Conyers; so put your crap away and let it be.

[sergeantdave]

Conyers is an insect and I’m being complimentary.

[patriot preacher]

No, he hasn’t. They don’t exist. He can’t even invent them...

[patriot preacher]

No, he hasn’t. They don’t exist. He can’t even invent them...

[davetex]

I thought he couldn’t read.

[M-cubed]

Ill give him credit on Monica....She'll be alive and rich when she gets out of prison...

[bareford101]

conyers protected minority status does not require reading, only ranting...
