You have to be kidding.

There’s really no other reaction once you see Alliance For Justice’s new “secret weapon” against the Republicans’ proposed plans to eliminate the filibuster in judicial nominations (otherwise known as the “nuclear option”).

Apparently, the Republicans are supposed to be cowed into submission by a flash cartoon featuring “Phil A. Buster” and his friends “Chex” and “Balanz” as they battle the evil “One-Party-Rule Robot”. You think I’m making this up? Click here.

Obviously, someone was a big fan of the Simpsons episode with the Schoolhouse Rock-style “Amendment To Be” cartoon. Too bad that one was supposed to be a joke.

Boy: [spoken] Hey, who left all this garbage lying on the steps of Congress?
Amendment: [spoken] I’m not garbage.
I’m an amendment to be
Yes, an amendment to be
And I’m hoping that they’ll ratify me
There’s a lot of flag burners
Who have got too much freedom
I wanna make it legal
For policemen to beat ‘em
‘Cause there’s limits to our liberties
‘Least I hope and pray that there are
‘Cause those liberal freaks go too far.
