The Bachmann Amendment

Michele Bachmann (who is looking increasingly Joker-ish) is sponsoring a constitutional amendment banning something that doesn't exist.

Bachmann's proposed constitutional amendment states: "The President may not enter into a treaty or other international agreement that would provide for the United States to adopt as legal tender in the United States a currency issued by an entity other than the United States."

And there are 30-plus Republican co-sponsors of the amendment. The amendment that bans something that's not even happening. Up next: Bachmann sponsors an amendment granting full voting rights to the voices in her head.
