To overstate the obvious, Jim Jordan does not appear to have a very good handle on the law. He's much more the spitting dinosaur.
I think he knows he can lie and get away with it. No one on Fox will challenge him. I mean this is literally the legislative LARP'ing as the executive, I'm sure that even he realizes that. That wascally waptor
Imagine that you wanted to do your job and you just figured you didn't need to know anything about physics. Now imagine trying to make laws for a living and deciding that you really don't need to know anything about the law. It's pretty remarkable that anyone could have that level of cognitive dissonance, even though cognitive dissonance is precisely what conservative media tries really hard to create day in and day out. Apropos of nothing, I love how the raptor hunter dude is now Elmer Fudd. Beautiful mixing of metaphors.
