Two GOP Reps Brazenly Violate THE CONSTITUTION

No, there was nothing of the sort.

Which means there probably was.

The thread title gave me a mental image of two Dick Cheney-esque men eiffel towering a rolled up piece of paper.

Now we all know why the Republicans need to recite the USA Constitution, well the edited one really!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't some Republicans (or was it Foxnews talking heads) make a stink about Obama not being President when the Chief Justice flubbed the oath in the Inaugural swearing in ceremony?

No, there was nothing of the sort.

I'm calling you out on your pathetic attempt at stonewalling and rewriting history, because yes, there was!

laughing about it, calling it a comical moment, and saying that it probably doesn't matter = making a stink over it?

Nice try. Brit Hume tried to jolly him, but Chris Wallace tried his Foxy-Fox News best to make a BIG STINK of it!

"Well, again, we're wondering here whether or not Barack Obama in fact is the president of the United States," Chris Wallace told Fox News viewers, well over an hour after Obama had taken the oath of office today.

"It's just conceivable that this will end up going to the courts," Wallace speculated.

Well - Given an atmosphere where people want to crucify Conservatives because they *didn't* read the sections in the Constitutions concerning things like Blacks being 3/5ths of a person, Prohibition, and that Indians aren't people at all....


I can see where this would/could be interpreted as another attack.




Regarding the original issue: Strike the votes. Chew them out. Then swear them in so they can go to work. Problem solved.

The purpose of Threads seem to fly over your head.

Two GOP Reps Brazenly Violate THE CONSTITUTION

There is nothing in the Constitution that says they have to be sworn in.

Why did the article say they were at fundraisers when they obviously weren't?

What is it with the left and their constant behavior of trying to demean others with juvenile-like sex jokes? Boehner's name is pronounced 'Bay-ner'. (Since it's German, many would probably pronounce it more like 'Benner', but in no case would it be 'bow-ner'.)

Edit: It may be the 'oe' in his name is because we don't have an umlaut (sp?). If so, I lived in Germany for two years and could never get that pronounced correctly.; we just don't have that sound in the English language.

The purpose of most threads here is to vilify people you don't like.

True, however this Thread and the other Thread was mainly about the Irony.

they have to take an oath as described in Article 6 of the Constitution which was read into the records.
