Statistically, it'd be impressive to do a worse job.

Be careful what you wish for, things can always get worse.

I didn't say "They can't do a worse job", because that's just begging Murphy to "enlighten" you.   

Just saying it'd be impressive.

Representative Justin Amash of Michigan is on his way to forcing the first legislative showdown over the National Security Agency’s controversial policy of collecting the phone logs of every American.

The venue for the fight is an amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill that would ban the NSA from collecting information from people who aren’t under investigation.

The catch is, if the Rules Committee doesn’t allow a vote on the amendment, Amash and a coalition of Republicans and Democrats probably have the votes to bring the whole bill down. To do so, they could vote against the “rule,” which governs debate for the bill. Those are typically party-line votes, so only a few Republicans would need to join the Democrats to defeat it.

As for the president forgetting the constitutional law he once taught, even fully remembered it's not much better than hitler teaching an ethnic diversity course.

As for the President having taught constitutional law, it is accepted that he did teach a course, but I don't believe I have ever seen, heard or read anything about what he actually taught about the Constitution in those courses. Probably something along the "living document subject to interpretation according to the current mores" line, I expect. Not likely he was teaching as an originalist or strict constructionist.

From what I understand he was a guest lecturer.  A bit different than a professor.

I thought he was an adjunct professor, which isn't much different than a guest lecturer. I know he wasn't tenured faculty.

I still wonder what he was teaching.

You have to wonder ?
