This Is Drivel

We, The People

Congressional dorkwads spent the day reading aloud from the constitution, for no good reason that I can think of. Did they think I didn’t believe they could read? Did they think I believed they’d never read it before? Did they think I would never have guessed they could pull off such a blatantly patronizing show? What does this prove? Who does this impress? How is this productive at all? I can’t believe we let these clowns tax the shit out of us, then pull shameless stunts like this to demonstrate how they’re only doing what we want them to do. What a crazy mixed-up country this is.

    Would have been cooler if they skipped over parts or stopped every once in a while and said stuff like “Wow, I didn’t know that was in there!” or “These guys were so stupid.”

    Uncle Pete, lol…

    I would prefer if, instead of this gimmick, they have a session during the process of considering any potential policy, bill, or act, in which they must answer one basic question:

    “Does this proposed action meet the standards of the Constitution? Does it fit within the parameters of this Congress’s explicitly delegated powers under the Constitution? Does it have as its primary purpose the protection or advancement of individual citizens’ rights, as listed but not limited to the First through Tenth Amendments to the Constitution?”

    If this question were to be seriously considered prior to any Congressional or other governmental action (hah!), it would go a long way towards resolving my own frustrations with the current state of affairs.
