That is not all he also says that Social Security, Medicare and anti-segregation laws are unconstitutional. These jackasses are trying to repeal any protections given to the people.

1. So repukes are against abortion for any reason, but are in favor

of putting children to work. i guess they see the writing on the wall when it comes to relying on cheap labor from illegal immigrants.. it's not going to last forever. time to put kids to work and pay them next to NOTHING!

9. well, it's perfect. More destitute children to put work if you ban abortion...

It'll be just like the "good ol' days!"

2. Another compassionate conservative from Utah

3. It's acceptable to be pro-segregation again?

This guy is nuts.

[LynneSin]

6. I know how you feel but if we did segregate there are good progressievs stuck in those states

:cry:

[katnapped]

4. Did he mention minimum-wage laws?

You know that's coming....

[Chisox08]

8. Yeah he did towards the end of the article

He says that it was unconstitutional as well.

5. That is their agenda, you know

They want to erase all the progressive gains made during the 20th century. Some of the religious nuts actually want to erase the Enlightenment.

And our side either looks the other way or actually helps.

Welcome to the New American Century.

7. He muse be a fan of Hammer v. Dagenhart (1918)

That court decision said just that. It has since been overturned.

12. Maybe he thinks Dred Scott v. Sandford and Plessy v. Ferguson still apply as well?

[yellowcanine]

10. Fortunately for Mike Lee, asshattery is not unconstitutional.

As we watch the rest of the world pass us by...

13. Mike and the sister wives better get busy pushing out a workforce

14. Hey, Lee

I will tell you what is unconstitutional... Your Bible.

[closeupready]

15. He probably also believes that Congress should legislate defaulting on bonds held by SS.

I see that meme circulating these days too frequently. Only a matter of time.
