“Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) is not known for his constitutional scholarship,” Huffington Post says (here). That’s an understatement. The former football coach (photo, left; note the deer-in-headlights look) knows less about how government works than is expected of middle-school[...]

Congress creates its own science
If you don’t like what science says, just pass a law that makes the earth flat. Then it’ll be flat, it’s as simple as that. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/11/28/1347731/-Steve-Stockman-demands-our-nation-s-scientists-investigate-the-Stockman-Effect?detail=email# [...]
