What sparked the pitiful screeching? Why, that pesky Constitution was read on the House floor this morning.
This morning, the U.S. Constitution will be read aloud from the floor of the House of Representatives.

Seeing Tweets from members of Congress about reading of Constitution Tuesday. Shouldn’t they all have read it BEFORE they were elected???

Heh. Prescient! The Left did seem to be terribly frightened by the thought of exposure to that icky, old Constitution.
@gopleader @repgoodlatte EXPLAIN NOW TO AMERICANS JUST HOW YOU FUCKERS ARE GETTING PAID TO READ THE CONSTITUTION?!!DO IT ON YOUR OWN TIME.

On #cspan these idiots have NOTHING better to do than read the effing constitution? #teabaggers
— Andrew Haskell (@droidster) January 15, 2013
I knew the #GOP #Teabaggers can’t read! They need someone to read the Constitution to them. We are paying for this? #TGDN #TCOT #SuckIt #p2

Classy. Also, racism. Or something.
Paying the GOP to read the Constitution is more productive than paying them to interfere with policy-making because the President is black.

Evidently, someone took it past screeching on the Internet to shrieking in person.
At the end of the reading of the Constitution on the House floor today, I could hear an #Obamite screaming in protest, before adjournment!
