Sen. Cory Booker claimed Thursday that a journalist with The Wall Street Journal was violating the Constitution by asking him a question regarding his failed “Spartacus” moment before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The New Jersey lawmaker who made national headlines with his assertion that he was releasing confidential documents on Judge Brett Kavanaugh (which turned out not to be confidential), was in no mood to answer Byron Tau’s questions on it.

Mr. Booker seemingly referenced a Speech or Debate Clause of the Constitution to dodge a question on political theatrics.

“Democrats knew full well that the documents that Booker and Hirono released this morning were no longer confidential, according to D+R lawmakers and aides,” Mr. Tau tweeted. “I asked @CoryBooker if his remarks in committee were a stunt. He told me I violating the constitution by being in his way.”

I think Mr. Booker must be trying to outdo Hank Johnson for the stupidest member of Congress title.

And making a valiant effort in doing so.

That’s some stiff competition right there.................

He was professionally trained to be stupid by Maxipad

The Constitution places limits on what Government may do, not on what We the People can do.

BTW, Cory, you ignorant slut ... what does "shall not be infringed" mean?

[Skywise]

Well if The honourable senator Booker believes in a liberal interpretation of the constitution then he should fully support all gun rights - right?

[Fido969]

So those leftie reporters screaming at conservatives in the hallways have been violating the Constitution?

[al_c]

Wait ... Booker claimed to have broken rules to release documents and now he’s made at someone for breaking rules?

I suppose it’s possible Guam could tip over if there’s a really really big earthquake or tsunami, and it’s possible Pocahontas is part native American, but Cory Booker is just plain dumb as a post.

Wow, just when I thought Gay Spartacus Cory couldn’t say anything more stupid, he proves me wrong.

If he runs for POTUS, it will be fun. He will blow himself up over and over again, and it will be wildly entertaining.

Since when did Democrats care about the Constitution?

His streetwise imaginary drug dealer friend T-Bone is behind all this.

[Jim Robinson]

I would disagree with Booker, but then he’d accuse me of racism. Professional victimhood pays very well.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Does that mean that Senators can’t be interviewed on Sunday talk shows?

[nikos1121]

He’s with the big boys and girls now. He’s not capable of carrying the shoes of men and women who have served for years, before running for president. THis is a joke.

[fella]

Has he even read the Constitution that he took an oath to uphold and protect?

So he lies about release confidential docs, then misuses or completely misunderstands the Constitution. And he wants credibility and maybe support to run for president?! He should instead be sanctioned by the Senate, resign, and move on to his next career.

Let's not forget that intellectual giant Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) who in 1997, while on a trip to the Mars Pathfinder operations center in California, confused the planet Mars with Earth's own moon, asking whether the Pathfinder had succeeded in taking a picture of the flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969

The purpose of the Constitution can be summed up in 4 words...
Protects Us From Them

When Dick Morrison quoted PIAP’s as saying “The average Democrat voters is just plain stupid.”, I thought he was lying. I don’t anymore!!
