As much as I'd love a review of the mental state, performed by a real psychiatrist, of about 50% of the tea party prior to allowing them a vote,

1. The amount of resources this would take would make it ridiculously expensive and nearly impossible to implement.

2. It would allow far to much room for any political group in power to surpress the vote.

Side: No

Psychiatry is a pretty fuzzy science and quite subjective. Where would one draw the line? I am depressed and anxious. It would be a political hotbed. Who would decide what the requirement is?

Side: No

I don't even believe our knowledge and judgement in this field is sufficient for the possibility of making these decisions.

Side: No

Although it's probably a good concept, there's no way to implement it. What are they gonna do, put 60 million people on a couch and ask how they feel? No, didn't think so.

Side: No
