paging Ann Coulter

No, seriously!

I need a "Constitutional scholar" like her to answer a simple question for me:


Exactly how does the right to "petition the government for grievances" equate to a right to providing or accepting free dinners at expensive restaurants, yachts, trips to golf at exclusive private clubs in Scotland, Rolls-Royce automobiles, huge "campaign donations," employment for spouses that grosses five thousand dollars a month for a period of a couple of years in return for collecting a few hundred addresses that would be less than forty hours of labor in a real job, stays in expensive hotels, free trips on luxury corporate jets, fund-raising parties...



I could almost weep. I have NEVER been so ashamed of my country.
