Louie Gohmert: “I have had people say the Constitution itself, there is nothing at all like it. By the way, you cannot send out a letter…”

On the recordMarch 6, 2007
I have had people say the Constitution itself, there is nothing at all like it. By the way, you cannot send out a letter with the letters addressed or dated as you date them because it says like for today, March whatever day, all my letters, whatever day, 'in the year of our Lord,' now this year 2007. I was originally told by the franking people, we do not believe you can send that out with 'in the year of our Lord' on there; that may be inappropriate. My comment was, if you are saying it is unconstitutional to date a letter the same way the Constitution is dated, then we have got a real problem here.
