After some wrangling, U.S. Constitution is read in House
You mean like the 3/5ths compromise?
So I guess we're getting back to our Constitutional roots, we're just ignoring the parts that are too embarrassing to acknowledge.
Cowards. :lol:
TED,
Who will be pointing to this the next time a right-leaning wingnut talks about revisionism.
The House read the U.S. Constitution aloud on Thursday morning - after a brief debate about exactly which parts of the historic document they would be reading.
The chamber's Republican leaders - who organized the first-of-its-kind event - had touted the reading as a way to bring the country back to its political roots. But they didn't want to go all the way back: Rep. Robert W. Goodlatte (R-Va.), who was running the procedure, said lawmakers would read a Constitution that had been edited to remove sections negated by later amendments.
