THE READING OF THE CONSTITUTION

YESTERDAY THE BIG MOMENT FINALLY ARRIVED: THE PROMISED READING OF THE HIGHEST LAW IN THE LAND, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. We here at the Alexandria Daily Poop think it's about time.

The need for this reading was made evident by the reaction to it by the Leftist scum. The Constitution was pooh-poohed as a "Document that is over 100 years old" - that is to say, obsolete. Scorn was heaped on those who "worship" the Constitution, and "legal scholars" ran on about the "complexity" and difficulty of interpretation of the Constitution, which was written so that an eighteenth-century teenager could understand the very plain English therein.

This is the Leftist take on the Constitution of the United States of America. When their favorite terrorist is being detained and prosecuted, it is the shining Beacon of Freedom and must not be touched, to be read word for word and taken literally. When one of its provisions gets in their way and blocks what they want to do, it becomes a "Living, Breathing Document" (which means that it says what they say it says, even if it says the exact opposite.) And failing that, it is a quaint old piece of parchment that has outlasted its utility, a relic of bygone days having no relevance to the modern world, until some guy who has been planning to kill innocent Americans in the name of "Allah" starts getting the business. Then it transforms into a Magnificent Protector of Liberty.

The reading of the Constitution at the opening session of Congress has the Lefties scared shitless. They nervously point at it as "merely symbolic". It's symbolic, all right. But there's nothing "mere" about it. Every word of the reading fell on their ears as the pronouncement of a death sentence falls on a murderer's. The new Representatives, products of the TEA party revolt, mean to turn the revolt into a revolution. The reading reminds everyone that the government is restrained by the Constitution, that the powers of these statist, leftist tyrant wannabes are finite and few.

And so they dismiss, ignore, even excoriate the Constitution. Representative John Conyers denounced it as a "racist" document (rule one: if someone or something disagrees with a Leftist, they're racist); bitching that the parts of the document which accommodated slaveholders were "redacted" from the reading (which they were, because the reading was a reading of the Supreme Law of the Land, and those provisions were nullified by several Amendments, which WERE part of the reading. Conyers wanted those provisions read so as to make it appear as though they were still effective, so as to make the case that such a "racist" document need not be obeyed unless he, a black man, says it ought to; and then only to the extent he says).

The Left has good reason for concern. But they cannot help themselves. Their open diplay of contempt for the Supreme Law and for their own countrymen - indeed, their own country - is being loudly and openly displayed. The Constitution was designed as a sword against their ilk, and they tremble as the conservatives and patriots unsheathe it.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!!
