Republicans to Read Constitution Before Wiping Their Asses With It

Washington Times:
[T]he incoming majority party... call for a full reading of the country's founding document on the floor of the House on Jan. 6.

Given how many Movement Republicans were elected to this new majority handwaving about nullification and secession and insurrection and second amendment remedies and heading into the hills not to mention the desire to repeal who knows how many Constitutional Amendments, the 14th, the 16th, the 17th, and on and on and on, I really must say that the usual parchment-hued tricorn hat preening more-patriotic-than-thou stunts of this latest batch of white-racist know-nothing Movement Republican yahoos provokes even more extravagant eye-rolling than usual, even after a long dread generation of their antics has demonstrated all too well in practice the contempt they have for Constitutionally mandated civil liberties the moment they actually con their way into power and the judicial activism of which their so-called "Strict Constructionists" flabbergastingly capable the moment they actually con their way onto the bench.
