GOP-controlled House will read the founding document aloud on Thursday.
Though it has been inserted as text into the Congressional Record before, the supreme law of the land has never been read aloud before in the body known as "the People's House."

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a blahblah and blahblah trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in. . you know what fuck it.
the absurdity speaks for itself.
Wait, what's this? We have to treat the gays equally? NO SHIT!
Also, Glyph, how will reading the Constitution promote transparency?
Previously only lamas of the 9th Order were allowed to read the sacred scroll. Also, actual llamas.
Oh so Obama's doing the reading.
Let me guess: you voted for Ron Paul.
Because you may as well name the guy that's famous for it, instead of the guy that pushed to have a terrorists put on trial in Federal court in New York.
I'm envisioning him reading this from the Republican Cliff Notes US Constitution and shaking his head in disappointment as he marks Boehner's essay with a big red F.
Arivia: you don't even want to get Deacon started.
Remember, the Constitution is perfect, so between the both of them it'll be like 6/5th of a congressmen reading it!
If it was up to me, they'd just spend about 4 hours reading and re-reading Article 1. And then there'd be a quiz.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

nerdgasmic never change
No, I think they'll skip to other news during some parts of the reading...
:P
Yeah!
Well, except for that group of guys he won't let go but can't put on trial.
But it's just a few guys so whatever.
and you know why?
Bush tortured the fuck out of them
i want someone to tell me this sometime : (
Though, I guess well-off older Republican guys all tend to blend together after a while.
Rigorous Scholarship
Because I'm kind of tired of that conversation.

Right, Bush never held anyone that he couldn't put on trial.
I mean look at all the terror trials we got.
We were having terror trials left and right with Bush!
Jesus, Deacon at least TRY not to be a fucking parody of the Right.
Deacon's been beating the "Look, Obama isn't the messiah!" horse for a while now. It's pretty much his only thing. Oh, and being a black Republican, though I may be getting him confused with someone else that no longer posts here.
Good point, I was actually referring to putting a hit out on US citizens via Executive fiat.
Actually Boehner is one of the few that stands out, what with his tan.
This seems like a big waste of time to me. What is accomplished by doing this, besides the TV time and the token appeal to the party's base?
It would be great if they found something in there that explained what equal rights protection meant to them in very clear terms since they appear to have a hard time understanding it.
Isn't that related to Americans who are out of the country and operating with terrorist groups against America? Why are you soft on terror, Deacon? You must want the terrorists to win.

Well, I very clearly remember a bunch of Obama stump speeches wrt Gitmo about how the right thing isn't always easy, and the rule of law should always be followed.
I also remember McCain taking a pragmatic approach and getting skewered for it.
So, while reading the Constitution is kind of a stunt and probably deserving of a few snarky responses, I'm not about to let a comment go by that implicates the left has the moral high ground when it comes to consitutional issues.
Because you don't have it.
Yeah, someone PMed me that, I just wasn't sure if it was Deacon that it was about. I always thought it was odd that there was a black Republican that was not either ex-military, wealthy, or straight up crazy.
