Filed in National by on June 22, 2010 4 Comments

The Republican Party is crazy. But no one, and I mean no one, out-crazies Texas. The new platform of the Texas Republican Party is so full of crazy it should have its own entry in the DSM, but this part takes the cake for me: Further, we urge Congress to withhold Supreme Court jurisdiction in […]
