This is why some people have a weird interpretation of the Constitution

I have mused before that Republican Senatorial candidates O'Donnell and Angle thought there is no separation of church and state in the Constitution because they hadn't bothered to read it. Now we have proof that Republicans don't read the whole Constitution.

Literally:
Members of the House, for the first time anyone can remember, read the Constitution aloud on the House floor to commemorate the beginning of a new Congress, one day after the 435 members were sworn in.

But they didn't read the whole Constitution, exactly: They read the document as amended. That left out, among other things, the three-fifths clause, which deemed slaves less than full people for population-counting purposes and was only eliminated by the Thirteenth Amendment and the abolition of slavery.
Jay Sekulow was just on Hannity talking about how important it is to read the Constitution. Well, not the icky parts we don't like or want to talk about.

No integrity in these guys. None that I've seen so far.
