Remember Paul Curtman, the  young marine who has been elevated to state-wide celebrity status among the teapartiers because of of his theatrics at a constituent meeting last spring? He provided quite a show that evening when, gesturing dramatically, he declared that both he and McCaskill:

… took an oath to defend the constitution; hers took her to Washington, my oath took me overseas with a rifle.

The point he was leading up to was a dramatic demand that Claire McCaskill apologize because she did not support the same discredited, right-wing interpretation of the constitution that he ascribes to — an interpretation that challenges the right of government to legislate for the welfare of the people.  (See here and here for more background on these constitutional claims.)

Seems others in the GOP want to reap a little of the glory that adheres to the marriage of military bravado and the role of constitutional defender. According to TPM, Georgia Representative Paul Broun is going in for the same type of posturing directed at Nancy Pelosi:

When I was sworn into the Marine Corps, I was sworn to uphold the Constitution against every enemy, foreign and domestic. We’ve got a lot of domestic enemies of the Constitution and one of those sits in the speaker’s chair of the United States Congress, Nancy Pelosi.

Next best thing to telling these uppity broads to stay in their place, right?
