When even fair­ly con­ser­v­a­tive vot­ers are ask­ing this ques­tion of Sen­a­tor Brown­back and his war on porn and lov­ing gay couples:

Isn’t there some­thing else, you know, going on in the world? Like a war on terror?

you know that his pres­i­den­tial cam­paign is pure self-aggrandizement.

And it’s not that Brown­back nev­er heard of the 10th amend­ment, he just does­n’t like it. Appar­ent­ly all of the first does­n’t pass muster either, and I bet he has seri­ous qualms about the 9th, 4th, 5th and 6th. I won­der how he feels about the 8th, too.

A while back, Kevin Drum list­ed all of the Con­sti­tu­tion­al amend­ments sub­mit­ted in the last year. The Con­sti­tu­tion isn’t a rough draft, it does­n’t need 5 dif­fer­ent line item vetoes, etc.

Take Jesse Jack­son, Jr. out of the pic­ture, and Repub­li­cans are vast­ly more like­ly to try to scrib­ble all over our found­ing doc­u­ment. Some­thing to consider.
