U.S.Constitution is undeliverable - Even by Claus himself
Well. . .at least he tried:
December 20, 2007, Washington, DC - This morning, Santa Claus (in the person of noted constitutional lawyer Bill Goodman) drove his sleigh to the White House to deliver thousands of copies of the U.S. Constitution to President Bush.
Americans from all over the country - more than 37,000 of them - asked that a copy of the Constitution be delivered to the President in their name and cordially requested that he make time in his busy schedule to read it.
"While I was going over the list of who's been naughty and nice," Mr. Claus said, as he prepared for his visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, "I heard from many people who feel the President hasn't been doing a very good job of upholding his oath to 'preserve, protect and defend' the Constitution."
Responding to an urgent request from the Center for Constitutional Rights, Claus stepped in to bring messages from Americans who felt the President might need a refresher course in the Constitution. Citizens want to remind President Bush that the Constitution forbids torture and spying on Americans without a warrant, requires that prisoners get a fair hearing of the charges against them before a real court and makes the government's treaty obligations, such the Geneva Conventions, the law of the land.
"These Constitutions will make great holiday reading," Claus continued. "I want to be sure that the President has plenty of time to look at them before he decides on his New Year's resolutions."

One of those constitutions was from me! I know what chimmney Bush could stick it up. Maybe then he would take some notice of it.
Santa should have delivered a copy to Nancy Pelosi. Then she could understand that impeachment should NEVER be "off the table". It's the law...not an option.
At least others benefited in obtaining a free copy of the Constitution, I thought that was a good move. The more people who read it, the better.
Also, when you impound Santa's sleigh, do you call a recking company for that or ... and where do you take it? If Santa doesn't show up Tuesday because he is without ride, I might be a little upset.
I left you a gift on my blog, John Good. Hope you like it!
