It needs to be called out just how weird it is that US Senators like this don’t understand the very document they have sworn to uphold.

At this point I’m almost for requiring at least some sort of legal degree for these positions.

The only problem is that means more lawyers in positions of power.

As a former lawyer, I think that’s a terrible idea as many of my former colleagues are basically retarded (but still cunning enough to get by the average person).

Yeah I agree. That’s why I said almost.
They should at least know about the constitution though.

The bar has been lowered so much that I wouldn’t be surpised to learn that some of them couldn’t even read.

I don’t think Diane Feinstein could really even comprehend anything at the end.

We should be careful about language like “can’t read,” when discussing taking away rights though. There are blind people who literally “can’t read,” but can comprehend information in an equivalent format and who’d be much more competent than someone like Feinstein.

a LOT of the people most important to governing within the constitution, enforcing it, and specifically hired to protect your rights granted by it, know little, to nothing, about it
