Fox News morning host, Steve Doocy said it and then Cindy McCain said it, Palin Has National Security Experience Because Alaska Is Close To Russia. This is just absurd. Stephanopoulos should have laughed in her face.
Here's Article I Section 10 of the US Constitution, anyone want to tell me what exactly her foreign policy with Russia was and how it didn't violate the Constitution?
"No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.
No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress.
No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay."
And I love that people are only saying Alaska is next to Russia and completely ignoring the more relevant border with Canada. It's the one foreign country she's been too. Update: Apparently she's recently been to Germany and Kuwait and (refueled in) Ireland.
