Sorry, I'll get back to you after I finish this yummy gum...
My point was, that elected officials should be doing the jobs they are elected to perform- not enter public debates (ala reality television) when requested to do so. If they wanted to be a "reality star" (Palin
) , they should simply do so. State Reps and Congress should be above stupid "challenges" and publicity stunts.
What would this law school graduate, elected official have to gain? "Yeah, 16 year-old high school student, I kicked yer ass!!!"
Now, if the point is to ensure basic competencies, I'm all for it. Have a test
prior to running. I've had enough RT already, and I don't even watch the crap. Officials should lead, not play games on television.
If the high-schooler wishes to call out the Rep, she should write an editorial challenging the "incorrect" interpretations of the Constitution. This would be far more effective, and realistic than the proposal. This kid has political views- none of which were stated. This is grand standing, not debate.
