Given the incredible volumes of pure garbage that are read into the Congressional record I think we might be able to dig out a little nook for the Constitution. What is amusing is how very threatening certain people consider the act of reading it to be, but it's hardly surprising considering the proportion of Congress whose relationship with the Constitution is largely finding ways to get around it.

As "stunts" or "gimmicks" go it's pretty far down on the list, IMHO. Far more interesting is the demand that each new piece of legislation cite Constitutional authority. "I won" isn't going to cut it.

“What is amusing is how very threatening certain people consider the act of reading it to be...”

I’ve read comments dismissing the reading as a publicity stunt, but none from people that actually seem *threatened* by it.

Are all the amendments being read, as well?
