If you express grandiose delusions you should be sitting in a psychiatric chair. Not a senate chair.

Yeah this blows my mind. If you wouldn't allow a paranoid schizophrenic to hold office, why are you allowing people who think the earth is 6000 years old and dinosaurs aren't real?

They WOULD allow a paranoid schizophrenia to hold office if they voted correctly and hated the right people.
