Republicans off to a great start

By

Dear Editor:
Well, the Republicans are in charge of the House of Representatives, and what a wonderful job the did on their first day. They read the Constitution and made it one of the most boring and unwatchable events ever presented on TV.  
Then they bungled even the reading by skipping Article 4, Section 4 and Article 5, Section 1, so that over 2 hours later a Republican representative had to rush back in and read the missing parts. In addition two Republican Representatives Pete Sessions and Mike Fitzpatrick were attending a fundraiser in the Capital, where such things are illegal and thus barred, and missed being sworn in as members of the House. They then voted on a number of things which were deemed unconstitutional because of the illegal votes. The House leadership had to rush around to fix that.  At this rate Speaker John Boehner will be crying every day. The Republican House majority is certainly going to be fun to watch, like a gang that couldn’t shot straight.
Sincerely,
John P. Hiestand
Hillsboro
