Unfortunately, the ultimate irony is the reading of the Constitution was too boring for the Congress to sit there and listen to it. If that is the case I would encourage some one working towards another Amendment - which says - Members of Congress need to pass a skill test to prove they know our Constitution. I did that with no gripes as part of my Naturalization process... Why can I not expect a person who represents me to have at least the same knowledge ?

I've searched for any of the names of readers of the US Constitution on the 2nd day of the 112th Congress.....Interesting that so far, I can't see anyone mention a list of all of the people (both Dems and Repubs) who were the readers, and what they read.... Since this was the first time in History the Constitution including the Amendments was read on the House floor, wouldn't you think that at least one of the many who call themselves part of the Major Media would have had this list? Maybe there is one intrepid journalist, but right now, I sure don't see any of them as having done their job.... Does anybody know who read the Second Amendment? Does anybody know whether the readers were able to choose which segment they read?
