Penn. Democrat: 'Who Really Cares' About the Constitution?
Publius' Forum ^ | 11/25/08 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 11/25/2008 6:50:54 AM PST by Mobile Vulgus

Democrats do not see the Constitution as a limit on their actions. In fact, Democrats don't see any rules or laws as limits on what they think they can do. They imagine that they can do anything they want no matter what the law says. Democrats are essentially lawless creatures.

Further proof of this came this week in the Pittsburgh City Council during the debate on an unconstitutional gun bill the city was trying to institute. After the lopsided vote was over -- with the anti-constitution side winning -- Councilman Tonya Payne told everyone that would listen that she didn't care about the U.S. Constitution.

"Who really cares about it being unconstitutional? This is what's right to do, and if this means that we have to go out and have a court battle, then that's fine."

What more can be said? Democrats hate the Constitution, hate the law, and want to rule their constituents by fiat. This is a universal idea in Democrat circles across the country.

Rules? ... Screw the stinkin’ rules. We’re Democrats. We make up rules as we go along.

i’ve known that since college.

liberal-socialist friends would say the u.s. constitution was not important.

this echoes the progressive movement and successsors of woodrow wilson, fdr, etc.

I am 99 44/100 % sure that she graduated from public school. My guess is that it was an inner-city school.

They sure refer to it when they think that terrorists are being mistreated or listened to, though, don’t they?

I wondered when they were going to get around to flat-out saying it.

Saying ‘this is unconstitutional’ has become wearying to Democrat ears because it poses no threat and they go ahead and do it anyway.

So they just are tired of hearing it.

Looks like she has had a few too many Primanti Brothers sandwiches.

So the South was right. Brown v Board should be ignored. The Constituion has no meaning and no effect.

Who really cares about it being unconstitutional?

Me...and a whole bunch of others who have sworn to uphold and defend that document, that idea, against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.

Speaking of which, I wonder what the oath of office is for the city council? I wonder if it involves supporting and defending the Constitution? If so, she's open to impeachment.

My guess is that Tonya has never even read the Constitution and has no idea what it says or even why its important.
