Additionally, your knowledge of the Constitution is also impressive for an elementary student (just a few minor facts wrong).

You’re confusing the Constitution with the Declaration of Independence. Young Amy might help you discern the difference, as well as straighten you out on those silly, insignificant dates.<br /><br />Were Michele Bachmann truly the Constitutional academic you insist, she’d be less inclined to spout the litany of inaccuracies covered almost daily in the news. Your quick leap to Bachmann’s defense demonstrates at best, a serious doubt in her abilities.

Besides, Michelle is the preeminent intellect of our wonderful party, and she can probably handle Amy by herself. When Amy is grown, she will realize the true nature of feminism as exemplified by our own brilliant Michelle Bachman, lovely Christine O'Donnell, and hardbody Sarah Palin, total hotties all. <br /><br />I noticed one of you commentors "corrected" you on the number of amendments to the constitution. This person obviously is unaware of our God-given constitutional right as the Chosen Party to have the Heritage Foundation adjudicate all constitutional questions, including which amendments are constitutional.
