I think it should be mandatory that they attend a weekly (daily?) course on Constitutional Law for Idiots (and Congress Members), team taught by Bruce Fein and Jonathan Turley.
I truly think that most members of Congress are so busy dealing with the daily duties of their jobs, pushing paper around, attending meetings, socializing, whatever the hell it is they do (when they aren't on c-span), that they have forgotten (*if* they ever even knew!) what the basic premise of their job even is -- to defend and uphold the Constitution!
We are indeed in a Constitutional Crisis, but it's one of our elected officials being too ignorant of the Constitution. We often think of these people as having been legal scholars (and indeed some are), but by and large, I'd say that most of them need either a refresher course, or a good solid introductory course to the basics of the Constitution. I watch them on The Span, and I'm astonished at the amount of garbage that floats around in those chambers, mostly unchallanged.
Send these civil servants back to school, I say.
