Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Again, difficult to answer as worded. I answered as if the question were "*Is* it unconstitutional?" because the provision certainly is. Well it ever ultimately be *found* unconstitutional?--with this SCOTUS majority, and the even more lopsided right-wing majority we will be stuck with after a couple more Republican presidencies? That's another question altogether.
I think the constiution should be the first requited reading course in grade school, with teachers that can correctly inturrupt it, our country is founded on freedom of speech, the press, and the right to a' constitutional convention', when was the last one held? how many of you don't know about this?....(eating sugar makes you dumb, did you know that?)... it's a update rebooting for the country, so we can keep up with the times we're living in, the 21st century has technology that should be used to replace the congress of fat greedy cats to "We the people" with computers and we can read, write and vote on them...globally too.
