Quote of the Day: On Defending The Constitution

From the 1968 Finian’s Rainbow by Francis Ford Coppola:

Sharon: It would seem to me that this law could not be a legal law.

Senator Rawkins: Of course it’s legal! I don’t know where you immigrants get these foreign ideas.

Sharon: From a book the immigration officer gave us - called The United States Constitution. Haven’t you read it?

Senator Rawkins: I don’t have time to read it, I’m too busy defending it!

Sometimes when politics gets me really upset, I pop in my old VHS copy of this film and I feel so much better. If only Og the Leprechaun really were around to make everything turn out o.k. with Leprechaun magic.
