And the gentleman from Pennsylvania
is out of order!
When will Mr. Wood conclude
his interminable gabble?
Some of us breathe oxygen
and we find the mephitic
fumes of his oratory
a lethal challenge
to our pulmonary capabilities!
We shall oppose this amendment,
and any legislation that
so affronts natural law

Congress must never declare equal
those whom God created unequal!
Slavery is the only insult to natural law,
you fatuous nincompoop!
