Joey and I have been working on a counter argument to Alexis de Tocqueville.
BARTLET
We're having a fight with Alexis de Tocqueville?
JOEY [KENNY]
Mr. President, please don't get him started.
JOSH
Joey, what say you to the position that with ethnic warfare spreading around the globe, and in particularly in Eastern Europe, it's only a matter of time before it reaches our shores and making English the official language of the United States will safeguard against the destruction of our national identity and help us avoid ethnic strife? What say you to that?
Joey blows a big raspberry.
JOSH
You see that? That's what I've been dealing with all week.
JOEY [KENNY]
Mr. President, 72% of Hispanics are strongly opposed to such a law. The Republicans will never put it on the table because they'll risk losing the second largest ethnic block of voters in the country. But if you need a counter argument, then I'd mention to Monsieur de Tocqueville, over here, that aside from it being bigoted and unconstitutional, it's ludicrous to think that laws need to be created to help protect the language of Shakespeare.
JOSH
Okay, that's all I was looking for, that one line. Took you four days.
