Hey, Uncle Sam, Missourah Goes All Constitutional On Your Ass!

• Do they realize that invoking the constitution will mean that they have to recognize gay marriages performed in another state? Not even an amendment, it's in the original draft. Article IV - The States Section 1 - Each State to Honor all others Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

• Well played, Anon. Meanwhile, how many of our state legislators have a direct relationship to something religious. I mean, more than just going to church on Sunday. Nearly every republican profile on available on Wikipedia lists where they go to church. (As if that matters.) Brian Munzlinger (R-1) Rural farmer member of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce. Jim Guest (R-5) supports the Ron Paul Campaign. When he is not at work, you can see him wearing his tin-foil hat. Mike Lair (R-7), Right to Life and Missouri Chamber of Commerce Joe Smith (R-14) the youngest and most whitebread representatives from St. Charles County. Agent Smith here is a member of the St. Charles Young Republicans and is a member of both the St. Charles and St. Peters Chamber of Commerce. Sally Faith (R-15) Director of marketing for the director of Marketing for Whitemoor Country Club. If you are wondering why St. Charles Area Transit sucks, ask her. She's on the board. Mark Parkinson (R-16) Worked with both Kit Bond and John Ashcroft. The apprentice learned much about the dark side of the force from his Sith masters. Cynthia Davis (R-19) owns a Christian book store. I think we know enough about her as a Tea Party supporter. Steve Hobbs (R-21) part of Mexico (Missouri) MFA Oil. Therese Sander (R-22) part of Right to Life. Robert Schaaf (R-28) is a doctor, a director of the Missouri Doctors Mutual Insurance Co., St. Joseph and Savannah Area Chambers of Commerce, and several state medical associations. Likes to fly. Watch this guy. He's part of the State Healthcare Policy and State Budget Comitties. Jerry Nolte (R-33) Officer of the Knights of Columbus. On the Tourism comittee. On February 28, 2008, Nolte introduced House Bill No. 1463 providing that "that aliens unlawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible for enrollment in the university or college." Welcome to Missouri! Bryan Pratt (R-55) Speaker Pro Tem. Can't be reelected in 2010 so f*** all yall! Watch him set fire to his office and hold hands with Rep. Davis. Tim Jones (R-89) Birther. Missouri Chamber of Commerce. From Eureka. Brian Nieves (R-98) From Washington, MO. Can't get relected in 2010. Used Car Salesman. Zone Pastor of Living Bread Church. (Remember that horror movie parody. LOL!) House Majority Whip. Steven Tilley (R-106) Eye Doctor. Missouri Chamber of Commerce. Right to Life. NRA. (I guess if you are an eye doctor, you would be a member of the NRA, since shooting your eye out is good business for him.) Majority Leader since 2008. Ron Richard (R-129) Joplin Chamber of Commerce. Currently Speaker of the House of the State of Missouri, replacing Rod Jetton who was arrested last year. (BTW, TD El-Amid is still listed as active for some reason.) Eric Burlison (R-136) Business analyst for CoxHealth, also part of the state healthcare committee. Missouri Right to Life, NRA, Campus Crusaders for Christ, Missouri Chamber of Commerce. From Springfield, MO. Shane Schoeller (R-139) another protage of Bond, Ashcroft, and Blunt. Willard (Missouri) Chamber of Commerce. Biblethumper. There are others that would fill up a LOOOOOONG post. But there are so many hours in the day to write this.

• re: Bob Dole: 1896?

• That'll show 'em. Maybe they read the 10th Amendment from Bob Dole's pocket constitution he carried around during the '96 campaign.

• The 10th Amendment has been dead since 1865. If states don't like it, well, then the South shouldn't have chosen such a stupid cause over which to make a stand. States' rights pretty well died at Appomatox.

• Moving to Illinois will be the best decision that I will ever make. Oh look! Guess whose listed as a cosponsor of the bill: None other than O'Fallon, Missouri's Cynthia Davis.

• I used to get my funny writings fix from the Onion. Now I'm going to turn to the MO House. I will say they've got some big ol' balls to propose this.
