'Give us Barabbas!' Rep. Steve Stockman contemplates rule by 'majority of folks'

As Twitchy reported earlier, King Obama doesn’t really seem to understand how a constitutional republic works. Praising Sen. Harry Reid’s triggering of the nuclear option, the president said, “If you’ve got a majority of folks who believe in something, then it should be able to pass.”

That sounded a bit like mob rule to Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), who gave one famous example.

@SteveWorks4You Your tweets rock, Congressman. Keep up the good work, Sir.

@Schroedafly @WBH_Politics That is why we are a democratic republic, to protect the minority from the majority.

Stockman, who has targeted MSNBC brilliantly in the past, also took a shot at CNN.

@freddoso Time to call CNN what it is. Obama fan fiction.
