David Weldon: “In my opinion, the revolution that people talk about here in Washington is nothing more than a dose of common sense…”

“In my opinion, the revolution that people talk about here in Washington is nothing more than a dose of common sense coming from the people that you talk about, which is where the power truly lies with, a dose of common sense coming to the people of this city. This city is insulated from the people that put them here. This so-called revolution is nothing more in my opinion than the people that work in Washington at the bidding of the governed who elect them and put them here, finally having to start acting on some of these things that people have been crying out for for years and years and years and years, like reforming the Congress itself, making the Congress live under the laws that they have been passing on to the people. Madison, in Federalist Paper Number 37, which I am sure as a student of history as you are, J.D., you would know that he said in that federalist paper that the Congress should not be allowed to pass any law that does not have its full operation on themselves or on their friends.”
