LOLO, perfect, AB!

ABC is doing a commentary on the Constitution. “We the People” have no idea what point that segment was about. No matter, we’re doing a round table discussion on the “Constitution Debated”.

George Will - It’s become important right now because of obama. Obama has claimed power to do things that is an unprecedented expansion of power. In the act of creating our federal gov’t, the founders sought to limit it. LOL, calls Dyson’s claim that the Const. is a living/breathing document - oxymoronic. Rule by majority is dangerous.

Michael Eric Dyson - Brings up slavery, women, people of color, people at the edges. The Constitution is a living breathing document, otherwise we would have never overturned slavery, etc. Defends his statement about the Constitution being a living/breathing document saying he was referring to the “interpretation” of the Constitution. (okay, like he said something different). cons

- Jill Lepore - ??? Postal service ??? I have no idea what point(s) she tried to make.

Richard Stingall - Every president has expanded executive/federal power; obama’s expansion is nothing unusual. The original founders limited powers because they didn’t want kings. Christianed asks if it was “divinely inspired.” Richard - says the Consittion is “areligious”
