In the Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution,
they make a statement that everyone should remember:
“Constitutional Law” has little or nothing to do with the actual Constitution.
—and Wm. J. Clinton also claims to be a professor of “constitutional law”—
History says whoever has his ear is in control.
My goodness, Barrack H. Obamarama wants the Supreme Court justices to do the work of the legislature.
These are some of the most dangerous statements I’ve seen in some time. Dangerous, that is, to the concept of a constitutional republic with executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
I wholheartedly agree with that statement.
“dangerous” implies intent.
I’m getting the impression that this guy is CLUELESS.
He’s just too damn dumb to be president.
He sure is.
Regime change in the courts. Impeach activist justices!
Yo, Barak Mugabe Hussein, the constitution of what country?
I think his “professorship” was on the level of an adjunct, the academic equivalent of a day laborer.
“We need somebody who’s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it’s like to be a young teenage mom,”
First of all, a mom who is still in her teens ain’t too smart. Do you really want judges THAT stupid?
His statement just translates into ‘judges who can think of new ways to take more of YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY away from you’ and give it to people who have chosen to take NO RESPONSIBILITY for their own lives!!! Ain’t that special?
“Do the democrats care that this guy is an empty suit, or is that the plan in the first place?”
I’m afraid — very afraid that is the plan. B-Hussein-O is someone’s puppet. I’m not sure who that is, but someone definitely has his hand up Hussein’s back, making his mouth move.
Looking at our current supreme court it appears that studying con-law makes most people dumber, especially with regards to what the Constitution says as opposed to what people like Obama think it should say.
Undeniable truths about liberalism:
Liberalism is essentially using force to make the responsible and innocent pay for the consequences of the choices of the irresponsible.
Liberals support no individual freedoms that do not pertain to sexual behavior.
Yep, the courts don’t make the laws, right? They just interpret the law.
Well, Obama’s saying he wants judges who can empathize and sympathize with people in difficult life circumstances. Which will lead to judges legislating from the bench, as they “interpret” the law to fix the ills of society from the bench.
Obama was happy with the Supreme Court ruling on Gitmo detainees. This particular law was written with previous court decisions in mind. They actually tried to bend over backwards to protect the rights of the detainees, but this wasn’t good enough for the Supreme Court. This is a good example of just throwing out a law that judges don’t like.
Well, there’s that school of thought that the Constitution is a living breathing document that has to be re-interpreted with changing times. I keep hearing examples of changes, such as how do you apply the Constitution ban against unreasonable search and seizure to the monitoring of e-mail. But the fact that we have electronic communications that the Founding Fathers couldn’t conceive of doesn’t change the underlying principles.
"And WHEN I'm elected, I'll nationalize..."
Just like the LSM is thrilled to refer to Larry Tribe as a “constitutional scholar” and that is only because he happened to have penned the last book that was supposedly about the US Constitution.
Actually, given the pervasiveness of 'comparative legal studies', and 'critical legal studies', I suspect a randomly selected constitutional law professor is less likely to respect the Constitution than a person randomly selected from the population at large.
So, Obama was a "Constitutional Law Professor", was he?
Not to defend Obama the Antichrist but he was misquoted about the "Constitutional Law Professor" thing. What he actually said was.....
"I had a CONSTIPATED LAW PROFESSOR".
We know the MSM, they always twist things around.
