Seriously, I think we should require that if you are going to have power, you have to understand what "inalienable rights" are, and that you have to understand that behavior like the linked is unacceptable on a Constitutional level.

There are a great many things we should require of people in power, most of which aren't or are only given lip-service.

Ownership Society. What W continually says he wants the US to become. Which, in his vision is "he who has the gold, rules."
