Shhhhh! It’ll be our little secret

Courtesy of NPR, we learn today that "freedom of the press" is no longer in the Constitution. Hardly a discouraging word is uttered among the folks who swore to defend and uphold it.

But there is a logical excuse: Alfonso Aguilar, the director of the office of citizenship at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, acknowledges that the flash cards are based on "flawed" information, and that it will be corrected.

Flawed information? Does that mean nobody in charge at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recognized that a fundamental part of the Constitution was missing?

I wonder if the people who "missed it" had to learn the Constitution as a condition of living here. Or maybe..... (dah dah dum dum...)

Round up the usual suspects. And check to see if the flash cards still have the 18th Amendment in effect; preferably before Happy Hour.
