Abdul Mohammed Al Sayed wants our country to go to Sharia Law. He would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector. He's such a good dude. By the way, it is actually true for those of you who don't know. The Senate, the house has metal detectors. The Senate does not have metal detectors. I guess because if they had a metal detector, every other hip would be setting it off. Nobody would get in the building. It would give you.
