Dean: Harry Reid Saved the Constitution from 'Crackpot Tea Party'

Friday on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show,” the former Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT) said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) saved the U.S. Constitution by refusing to take up the over 400 bills sent to him by the House of Representatives.

Dean said, “The Republicans have been very good at saying ‘no.’ And the truth is that Speaker Boehner and his crowd have obstructed almost everything the president wanted to do without proposing any reasonable   alternative. They say they have passed 400 bills that have gone over to the senate to die, and that is because the Senate is doing there job and not letting the crack pot right wing and Speaker Boehner’s Tea Party caucus rewrite the Constitution and rewrite the laws of the United States.”
