Remember that day John?

I like that!
What a joke. Start by reading the constitution, then sit on their hands while Obama shreds it. Well maybe not totally, they will attack their base for expecting a response.
Constitution? What Constitution. We have a Constitution?
Boner and the Constitution don’t belong in the same sentence.
The liberties of us “Posterity” are being trampled upon by the Political Class in DC on an astonishing level.
Yo, Mr. Goodlatte -- we're so far past "symbolic showings" that your little reading is LESS than a JOKE. As is your pathetic idea of a "powerful message."
We ARE NOT, and HAVE NOT, been a nation of laws for the past 6 effin' years, Sir!!!! So either LEAD us, or get outta the way!
How about the Declaration if Independence too, esp paragraph 2;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.:
Isn’t this premature? Or is it January 3, 2015 already?
Captain James T. Kirk:
Among my people, we carry many such words as this from many lands, many worlds. Many are equally good and are as well respected, but wherever we have gone, no words have said this thing of importance in quite this way.
Look at these three words written larger than the rest, with a special pride never written before, or since, tall words proudly saying, “We the People”.
That which you call Ee’d Plebnista, was not written for the chiefs of kings, or the warriors or the rich or the powerful, but for ALL the people!
Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution”.
These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing!
Good idea! Make the senate do it as well!! And take roll!
Perhaps they should re-take their oath, too. You know....enemies foreign and domestic?
“And partly as a nod to Republican representatives elected as part of the conservative Tea Party movement, one of the first acts of the newly GOP-controlled House will be to read that founding document aloud on Thursday.”
oh boy I’ll bet Obama and the dems are just shakin’ in their boots.
Lame.
The GOP needs to shit or get off the pot.
Merely lip service by weepy John. I’ll consider him to be worth the taxes paid when he grows a spine and throws Obola in front of Gowdy to be grilled daily about his unconstitutional actions.
