The Blue Dress Quote

I've had several requests from people trying to find the infamous quote from Representative Ellen Tauscher regarding the U.S. Constitution. Here it is:

April 19, 1997, during a Town Meeting in San Ramon, California, Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher said:

"The Constitution was never meant to be the only set of laws that we follow. I had a blue dress when I was five, but I can't wear it because it doesn't fit me anymore. There are lots of things that change over time and you have a whole bunch of legislation enacted every day, every month, every year that adjusts and calibrates to the times and to the issues...what is perceived to be the best thing for the American people...and these are called laws, and, you know, I think they've been doing a pretty good job."

This Congresswoman took an oath to "preserve and protect" the very document she claims "doesn't fit anymore"......
