What a GOP-Managed Reading of the Constitution Looks Like

Bob Goodlatte is the guy the GOP put in charge of today’s reading of the Constitution. He apparently chose to read the 10th Amendment–the foundation of state’s rights–himself. The 10th Amendment is supposed to read:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Only here’s what Goodlatte’s 10th Amendment looks like:

Amendment 10: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the people respectively–are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

So much for state’s rights!
