House Republicans took a strong stand for patriotism and the principles of the Constitution this week, with a powerful and emotional reading of the document on the House floor. The event was led by Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who had promised this momentous occasion in a tweet last November.
Despite the delays caused by the Democrats’ obstructionist tactics, the Republicans kept their promise to the American people, reading every single word of the Constitution in a show of solidarity and commitment to the nation’s founding principles.
The reading was a historic moment that demonstrated the unwavering commitment of Republicans to the Constitution and the rule of law.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) introduced the reading by saying, “This morning we will read the full text of the United States Constitution. The text read today reflects the changes to the Constitution made by the 27 amendments. Those portions superseded by amendment will not be read.”
The reading lasted for over 40 minutes, with Speaker McCarthy kicking off the event by reciting the famous opening lines of the Constitution, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.”
The Democrats’ lack of interest in this historic moment was palpable, as they showed their contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law.
They refused to join the Republicans in reading the Constitution, a clear indication of their disregard for the values that have made America great.
The Democrats’ refusal to participate in this historic reading shows the stark difference between Republicans and Democrats, with Republicans upholding the values that have made America a beacon of hope and freedom, and Democrats seeking to undermine the foundations of our nation.
This event was a clear message from Republicans to the American people: they will not let the Democrats’ obstructionist tactics stand in the way of their commitment to the Constitution.
The Republicans stand ready to fight for the principles that have made America the greatest nation on earth, and they will not rest until every American has the freedom, security, and prosperity that they deserve.
In conclusion, the reading of the Constitution by House Republicans was a powerful moment in American history, demonstrating the strength of Republicans’ commitment to the rule of law and the Constitution.
It was a clear message to the American people that Republicans will fight to defend the values that have made America great, and that they will not let the Democrats’ obstructionist tactics stand in their way.
The Republicans stand united in their commitment to the Constitution and the American people, and they will not rest until every American has the freedom, security, and prosperity that they deserve.
