House Reads Out Constitution, Only 74 Members Show Up

Embarrassing display highlights disconnect of elected representatives

In what was supposed to be a symbolic gesture of the enduring greatness of the US Constitution, and the rights it outlines for all Americans, the House read the entire document out aloud on the chamber floor yesterday. However, the symbolism backfired somewhat when only a fraction of representatives bothered to show up.

In the midst of the Obama administration’s ongoing efforts to eviscerate the Second Amendment by executive order, it was extremely telling that so few members of the House took the time to show their respect for the Constitution.

The document was divided into 120 sections, with GOP House leaders believing that at least that many members would show up to each read a section.

When all was said and done, however, only 74 members attended. The Washington Times notes that the House ran out of Democrats before they even got past Article IV, which is less than halfway through the document.

Just 25 Democrats valued the idea enough to turn up for the reading, while a meager 49 Republicans attended. This meant that each reader had to take two or three sections.
The entire reading took around 66 minutes.

    1. I am proud that Kansas made a good showing, we read the 1st, the 2nd, and the 3rd amendments. I have talked with the Local
      Sheriffs, Peace Officers, and soldiers from Fort Riley along with every citizen I can and I can tell you that in this state
      (excluding Douglas and Johnson counties-fuckers) we believe in the Constitution and are willing to do our part in defending it.
