Stop the ACLU ^ | November 25, 2008 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 11/25/2008 11:22:40 PM PST by Greystoke

Councilwoman 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.”

Wow... well, if she doesn’t care about the constitution, then what value can she possibly place in going to court?

Well, there you go right there. Proof that the libs use the courts to get around the Constitution. I guess with Obama in the WH they feel they no longer have to pretend they use the courts to fight for Constitutional rights.

At least they're finally admitting it.

In answer to the question, “Who cares about the Constitution?” my answer is, “I do.” If Tonya Payne doesn’t, she should be thrown out of office.

Turn on your popup blocker.


"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."


You betcha!

Thank you Jay!

I think Obama was referring to the Constitution when he spoke about the need to get past the “politics of the old.”

If she can’t uphold her oath to uphold the Constitution, she shouldn’t remain in office.

No, it’s not. But, it appears that Ms. Payne may have eaten Cynthia McKinney - and a few others from what I can tell.

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Who really cares about the Constitution?

Everyone who has ever sworn their life to defend it.
