Out, ye pesky boil

I said it back in April: Tom Delay is the Republican Jim Wright, not just a skeezy weasel, but a sign of institutional rot at the heart of the congressional party.

Dr. Stoch administers a bare-cheeked butt whipping to the Washington Times on this matter. Who do they think they are fooling?

How many states ratified the the call for a Constitutional Convention to consider a Balanced Budget Amendment? It was in the high 20s, if memory serves. Are those votes still valid---could a couple of state legislatures sick to death of the fiscal insanity ratify the thing? Could this be a 27th Amendment issue, where you have a provision out there, just waiting to be revived? Sure a Constitutional Convention would be a zoo of epic proportions, but perhaps enough of one to scare straight both sides of the aisle in Congress. Are there any constitutional law experts out there?

Umm, I mean other than ones who are about to sit down and watch CSI?
