Reading of the Constitution on the House Floor (Live Thread)
C-SPAN ^ | 01/06/2010 | n/a

Posted on 01/06/2011 8:01:54 AM PST by Pyro7480

Reading of the Constitution about to begin. Some Democratic congressman from Washington State (Rep. Jay Inslee) is trying to gum up the works by asking if the original unamended document was going to be read. Ridiculous...

Whose idea was it to read the Constitution? It’s great! It should be on the news.

It was the RINO Boehner’s idea.

Boehner should’ve had Michele Bachmann read the entire doc.

I believe it was Bob Goodlatte’s idea to read it — the reason he’s “running” the reading now.

I am also recording it on the DVR so the kids and I can watch and go over it for a homeschool lesson.

I agree, this back and forth is ridiculous. Bachmann should have read it and then a quiz should have been given to see who what paying attention! All of those who FAILED would be named!

No wonder our country is in such bad shape, some of these people can not even read.

Rep. David Scott, “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall “not” have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

That was my thought too, and did anyone hear that twit on the democratic line who said she was outrageous that the Republicans are reading the Contitution aloud on the floor?

THE DNC (AKA progressive commiecrats) spin is; that they are not allowed any amendments wahhhhhhhh wahhhhh wahhhhh BTW: they are allowed in a few days, after proper procedures that are not THEM in the middle of the night voting on what no one reads.

I watched Matthews CNN et al MSM last night (KNOW THY ENEMY) they are going what they call Bachmann-crazy! Olbie and Matthews saying the dems are reading the Constitution. BUT a HARVARD man said the Constitution. IS BIG GOV. Olbie saying they are reading the Constitution. so they can show they can read.

Alinskyizing is not working for them so they are in a meltdown and (as they call Bachmann) acting batshite crazy like they are 12 years old and take they’re ball and go tell mommy Pelosi and go home.

Yeah. Rep. Sanchez just pronounced “Letters of Marque and Reprisal” “letters of mar-key and reprisal.”

Entirely predictable performance by the RATS. Anti- Americans that they are. I expect a lot of them refused to show up. On TV it don’t show the whole floor, just the person reading it. Pee on em!!!

I've arrived at the opinion that no matter what these guys do, it's just not going to be good enough for many here on FR.

The reading of the Constituion isn't goood enough, a press conference is being held, that tie is ugly, that person can't read... on and on and on and on.

Since you naysayers seem to have it all figured out, I wish some you would push away from the keyboard and run for office. That way, things will be done to your exacting standard.

BTW the you is rhetorical.

There was some shouting from the gallery during the reading of this part. Wish I could have heard what was said. The person or persons were thrown out. LOL.

Maybe English is her second language, so that is understandable that she would mispronounce the word Marque
