Here's a three-minute video of a citizen springing a pop-quiz on Congressman Frank LoBiondo of New Jersey The point is these men and women are sworn to "uphold the Consititution of the United States." That's mighty hard to do if you don't know what it says. Shame.

The point here, of course, is to demonstrate what an afterthought the Constitution has become for members of Congress. No surprise, then, that the item that’s currently getting the most votes for the proposed tea party “Contract from America” is the one demanding that each new bill cite the section of the Constitution that empowers Congress to act. Although how useful would that be, really? No matter what the purpose of the bill is, the citation will always, always be to the Commerce Clause. It entitles Congress to do anything it wants, don’tcha know.
