Turns Out That The Party With No Ideas...

...has no brains either...

Call it a stumble out of the gate. Or a failure to find the gate entirely. Veteran Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) and freshman Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-PA) failed to make the official swearing in ceremony yesterday, a violation of the Constitution that has sent Republicans scrambling and briefly brought an end to the new majority's push to repeal the health care reform law.

While the rest of the House was being made official in the chamber, Sessions and Fitzpatrick were outside the room at an event for Fitzpatrick supporters. The pair reportedly took their oath to a televised image from inside the chamber. Huffington Post's Ryan Grimm reports the event was part of fundraiser for Fitzpatrick.

Ha ha ha ha ha...and ha. I can just see these two guys in front of a TV with their right hands up and their left hands out to collect the money that was going to buy their future votes. Oh wait. There they are.



Unfortunately, not being sworn in means they can't vote.

Freshly-minted House Rules Committee chair David Dreier (R-CA) had to recess hearings on repealing the health care law after he learned that Sessions, a member of the committee, was not in fact a Constitutionally-valid member of the 112th Congress.

Not that it didn't stop him.

Sessions had been casting votes all day like the duly-sworn members on the committee.

*sigh*

For a party that rants so much about the Constitution, they sure don't seem to know sh*t about it.
