Surely this is a misprint. Either that, or the Democrat from Illinois and self-described amateur historian needs to find a new hobby.

“As an amateur student of constitutional history and as a member of Congress, I have come to the conclusion that the Senate was a historic mistake,” said Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, the No. 4 Democrat.

The so-called “world’s greatest deliberative body,” a “historic mistake?” Eeenteresting.

I’m sure this is a joke, but pair it up with other Democrat dreams of Constitutional overhauls and it’s fair to wonder if the Democrats don’t see the Constitution itself as a historic mistake. Liberals certainly spend a great deal of time militating against the Constitution’s plain language.
