Friends, I got excited when I heard that the GOP would pass a law requiring Congress to start every day with a full reading of the second most Holy document in the world: The U.S. Constitution. I have discovered, however, that what was delivered is, as usual, not what was promised.
I had skipped work and settled in with my popcorn and cider to watch the event on CSPAN. I hung on every word, excited to hear our great GOP leaders read the document aloud on the floor of Congress. Almost immediately, however, and much to my dismay, I detected a problem. They LEFT PART OUT! Guess which part? That nancey-boy "No Writ of Habeas Corpus" rule? Wrong! All of Article Three (The Activist Judges Part)? Of course not! They left out the part about the value of Nigras.
Text NOT read from Article One Section Two:
"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."
First they re-write Mark Twain by removing the words nigger and injun and now they want to rewrite history by denying that the three fifths provision ever existed? This is yet another example of the wussification of American politicians. At least the good old GOP had the guts to read the Constituion at all. I hear that when the Demon-crat Senate next convenes, they are going to open by burning a copy of the Constitution while reading Karl Marx's manifesto.
