Lawrence O'Donnell Challenges Rep. Goodlatte's Reading Of The Constitution (VIDEO)

.............................

Goodlatte also commented on the new rules in the House, saying they will require that "all bills introduced in the Congress state the basis in the Constitution -- the section of the Constitution -- upon which that introducer of the bill relies in introducing it."

......................

And O'Donnell also pressed Goodlatte on voting for an increase in the minimum wage without looking into the constitutionality of doing so.

"You voted for an increase in something that you don't even know has constitutional authority to exist?" O'Donnell asked him.

"That's correct," Goodlatte said.

Should be a learning experience for all involved. O'Donnell asked him.

"That's correct," Goodlatte said.

1. O'Donnell is very good at pinning these people down. Unfortunately they don't give a damn about
whether or not they are logical, consistent, or hypocritical. They have no shame, they don't care, they will say anything it takes.
