Heh. Yeah, I did notice that meaning of the word when I posted, but I really was responding to the literal meaning of "impotent".
Any political force that can succeed in getting their agenda adopted by local school boards and governments and then waste months of court time when people oppose that is not quite, in my opinion, impotent.
Impotent would be when they testify at a school board meeting the main responses are simply snickers and rolling eyes.
Kings were put to death long before 21 January 1793. But regicides of earlier times and their followers were interested in attacking the person, not the principle, of the king. They wanted another king, and that was all. It never occurred to them that the throne could remain empty forever. -- Albert Camus
