The Peter King Opposite Rule

Whatever Rep. Peter King (R-Captain Insaneo) thinks is a horrible idea should be something the Democrats need to be 100% behind.
Rep. Peter King says he has introduced a bill that would prevent the Sept. 11 terrorist trial from being held in New York City.

King said Thursday that his bill would prohibit the use of Justice Department funds to try Guantanamo detainees in federal civilian courts.

Last month, the Obama administration announced that professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others would be tried in federal court in lower Manhattan.

The New York congressman calls it "one of the worst decisions ever made by any president." He says terrorist suspects should be tried by military commissions. 
I think President Obama should make sure Rep. King gets two things:

1) A front row seat to the trial in the courtroom to see how actual justice works, and

2) A case of Depends. 

Both should be presented to Rep. King on live television.
