I teach the Constitution all the time--that isn't the issue. The issue is whether Senators ought to be sneaking in curriculum design into omnibus bills. Further: perhaps someone ought to teach Senator Byrd the Constitution--it isn't the role of congress in Article II to make educationsl policy. Methinks thou dost miss the point.

I teach the Constitution all the time–that isn’t the issue.

The issue is whether Senators ought to be sneaking in curriculum design into omnibus bills.

Further: perhaps someone ought to teach Senator Byrd the Constitution–it isn’t the role of congress in Article II to make educationsl policy.

But, of course, by that logic, Byrd should have a hand in desiging the fighter jets the Congress pays for and the bridges on interstate highways. Legislatures ought to be setting broad policy goals and then hiring experts to execute them. Micro-managing policy isn't the Congress' job. Perhaps.

Money comes with strings attached. So what? You want to take the Uncle's money, you play by the Uncle's rules. This doesn’t (and shouldn’t) bother me. Money comes with strings attached. So what?

Byrd I now have an even better example of ways around how a bill becomes a law than some I pulled in the Florida Legislature. Course a Poli Sci degree and 8 years in State and Federal Legislature and I am not sure I am qualified to teach the Constitution. Thanks to Sen.

They are, however, building a new building that will have four classrooms with large (100ish, I am thinking) capacities. We shall see how things develop from there.
