High-schooler challenges Bachmann to Constitution debate

[JonLP24]

A high school sophomore from New Jersey is challenging Rep. Michele Bachmann to a debate on civics and the U.S. Constitution. In an open letter to to Bachmann, Amy Myers of Cherry Hill, N.J., said, “I have found quite a few of your statements regarding The Constitution of the United States, the quality of public school education and general U.S. civics matters to be factually incorrect, inaccurately applied or grossly distorted.”

“I, Amy Myers, do hereby challenge Representative Michele Bachmann to a Public Forum Debate and/or Fact Test on The Constitution of the United States, United States History and United States Civics,” Myers wrote, according to a report at City Pages.

Politifact rated Bachmann’s statements about the U.S. Constitution’s census requirements in 2009 as “Pants on Fire” false. CNN’s Anderson Cooper dinged Bachmann back in January for her revisionist history regarding the U.S. Constitution’s racist past.

1. But is she pretty like Michele Bachmann?

in a kind of empty, exploitable, mind-numbing kind of way?

Because it certainly ain't Bachmann's brains that got her where she is today.

3. Back door Bachmann

2. Better check that kids UIL involvement first before agreeing to anything.

Kidding...I'm sure Bachmann is a coward and will bow out semi-graciously.

4. Hey, have some pity for poor Michelle B.

After all, she'd come to this battle of wits only half capable.

5. Bachmann won't debate a high schooler.

She lost to that little girl on "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?"
