Constitution will burn anyway

Last night CNN aired a debate between Republican Congressmen Bob Bar and Dana Rohrabacher over the NSA spying. Barr was against. Rohrabacher was for it. Towards the end, there was this exchange:

BARR: And the Constitution be damned, Dana?

ROHRABACHER: Well, I'll tell you something, if a nuclear weapon goes off in Washington, DC, or New York or Los Angeles, it'll burn the Constitution as it does.

So, I guess the conclusion is we should just forget the Constitution. Some fine democracy this is.

A hat tip to Atrios for this one.
