And it will be time to see if Groves can't be brought up on some kind of charge of treason.

(12,645 posts)...which may explain our country seems to have an addiction to imprisoning people.
It is not against the law or constitution to be stupid, annoying, arrogant, or profoundly wrong.

(4,113 posts)The unmitigated gall of this ass, that he really thinks it's up to him in any way, shape, or form. Last I knew, he hasn't been elected to anything in the last twenty years, so his "say" in government is necessarily limited to his individual vote, and not to some arbitrary pledge which he seeks to use to usurp the rightful, constitutional powers of Congress to tax and spend.

(36,693 posts)grover promotes Sharia Law because he is a Muslim and is married to a Muslim
something that many republicans do not know

(8,217 posts)I didn't know he was Muslim.
Not that it matters, but, that is still very interesting to me.
As for backing Sharia law, I don't see that in particular.

The man is losing it.

(24,776 posts)Nobody elected Grover Norquist, so no one has to obey his edicts.
What's he going to do? Send his terrorist buddies from the Middle East to whack Congress?
djean111
(14,255 posts)As far as I can tell, the chief aim of most politicians who are elected to office is to stay in that office, to keep getting elected.
So Norquist is taking aim at their desire to stay in office; evidently he can mobilize big money to fund primary opponents. He can deny money to people who step out of line.
He will whack Congress in their most precious part - getting reelected.

He needs to be prosecuted for making terrorist threats for this. And his followers need to be prosecuted for treason for giving more allegiance to this freak than to their own oaths of office and the US Constitution.

(611 posts)Our government has been infiltrated by members of an organization to which they are more loyal than they are to the people or to government itself. Reminds me of the old Red Scare talk, slightly inverted. Instead of Dirty Commies, we've been infiltrated by Dirty Cappies.
