READ IT AGAIN. And again ... and again.

I thought it was a good idea for the Constitution to be read aloud on the floor of the House of Representatives as that body kicked off its new session. The reading reminded those present of the contents of our fundamental law and symbolized a commitment to adhere to that law.

But what seemed like a good idea turned out to be a great one. For instead of good naturedly going along with the exercise, or suffering in silence, a number of leftists publicly displayed their lack of comfort with, if not contempt for, the Constitution. Thus, the public received its clearest indication to date that the left regards the words of the Constitution as an impediment to its agenda.

[T]he reading exercise proved to be such a stroke of genius. It gave the country a revealing glimpse of how the left really views the Constitution.

According to Fox News, we, the people, seem to agree. In an online poll asking if we had read the Constitution, 70% said “yes, and so should Congress.” Another 18% said they had read parts.
