Given what we know about Chuck Schumer (D-NY) it’s not a big surprise that he doesn’t know that much about the Constitution!

Via Washington Free Beacon:
Sen. Chuck Schumer credited Thomas Jefferson for writing the Bill of Rights during a debate over the First Amendment and campaign finance Tuesday.
While Schumer’s gratitude towards the Founding Father is endearing, it is also unprecedented: Thomas Jefferson is considered to be the principle author of the Declaration of Independence, not the Bill of Rights.
“I think if Thomas Jefferson were looking down, the author of the Bill of Rights on what’s being proposed here, he’d agree with it. He would agree that the First Amendment cannot be absolute,” Schumer said.

Don’t you think a United States Senator should know a little bit about the history of our country and the Constitution?
