Republicans, bent on demonstrating their professed patriotism, began the current Congressional session by reading aloud the Constitution. Everyday members of the House recite the Pledge of Allegiance and now, are required to pledge a second time at the start of each committee hearing.
Notwithstanding their patently exhibitionist performances, Republicans would do well to honor the oath each took, to uphold and defend the Constitution. Reading the document aloud, and constantly repeating the Pledge, rings hollow and does not camouflage nor excuse the disrespect shown by many Republican representatives for the rule of law and the ideals of a true constitutional democratic republic
