I know the Supreme Court would overturn it.
I know Liberals would condemn it.
I know a whole lot of people would be outraged.
I know Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman would be... well, who knows how they would react?
I know Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck would have a cow.
I know newspapers would slam it.
I know Congress would condemn it.
I know there would be talk of impeachment.
