I think you may have found the issue that could carry the capability of uniting the pro-choice and pro-life movements against a single ludicrous idea.

If this ever gets any traction, I'm betting the Christian Coalition and NARAL would have a joint protest. Dick Cheney and Dennis Kucinich could speak at the event. George W. Bush, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and the ghost of Ronald Reagan would be honored dignitaries and join Scalia and Ginsburg in a chorus of Kumbaya. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakahn, Pat Robertson and Michael Newdow could lead a prayer/silent moment to bask in the stupidity of this idea. Arriana Huffington, Matt Drudge, Amy Goodman, Sean Hannity, Keith Olberman, Bill O'Reilly, Kos and Rush Limbaugh could all carry glowing press coverage of the 200-million-strong protests.

Your certifiable suggestion could be the single act of lunacy that could unite conservatives, liberals, progressives, neocons, socialists, marxists, capitalists, fascists, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Scientologists, Buddhists, Wiccans, radicals, reactionaries, communists, the NAACP, NOW, La Raza, the ACLU, the Minutemen, and the KKK/Skinheads -- against the singular worst overstep of governmental authority since slavery itself.

This idea is truly a special kind of stupidity.
