John Boehner the House Speaker is going to have the Constitution read aloud at the start of the new Congress!
My God… The new and I guess old Republicans do not know what the Constitution of the United States contains! Not only that it looks like the new Republicans coming into the House must be so stupid that they can read it. They have to have it read to them.
I do not think the new Republican members of Congress should be sworn in as members of Congress. How can they take the oath when they do not know what they are saying they will protect and defend?
"I, (name of Member), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
Also how much time is going to take to read the Constitution? There are a lot of very important issues that face this nation and Republicans want to waste x amount of time (and money) by playing some stupid game. It does not sound to me like the Republican members of Congress are going to honor their oath. I do not think they understand the Constitution. I do not think they know our history.
I also think that the Republicans have not been and are not going to “faithfully discharge the duties of the office.”
They have made it clear that they want to block and defeat the President of the United States. They made it clear they want him to fail. (If he fails our nation will suffer.)
The Republicans want to repeal national health care. They want to prevent agencies of the United States government from doing what they were set up to do. They want to do away with the FCC, FAA, OSHA and they want to do away with even departments of the US. They want to do away with the Department of Education and the Department of Labor and others.
They do not want any controls put on corporations, banks or Wall Street.
Some of them even want to do away with civil rights. They want to change the Constitution back so that you and I would not elect our Senators!
As hard as it is to believe they want to repeal the 17th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. They want each state legislature to elect the Senators. In some small back room in a state capital a few men would pick our Senators.
