“For a Constitutional Law Professor he knows zip, zero, nada.”
Actually Obama clearly understands the Constitution. In a 2001 PBS interview, long before he ran for President, he described the Constitution as a charter of “negative liberties”. Obama, educated by the progressive advocates of a “living Constitution” disdained the restrictions placed on the power of government by the Constitution. Obama is a believer that power resides in the hands of government, not the people. Government grants rights, privileges, and “justice” to individuals or groups. He rejects the founding principles that the people grant limited powers to the government so the government can fulfill the goal of preserving individual liberty.
Obama’s overt lack of respect for the Constitution, or the philosophy of limited government espoused by the founders, does not indicate he doesn’t understand it. Worse, he understands it and fully supports progressive efforts through unopposed encroachments on liberty of the courts and executive dictates. The 8 years of the Obama administration clearly demonstrates the abdication of power to the Judiciary and Executive brand by Congress over the last 50 years is creating a conditions where a future president, allied with the federal judiciary, can sweep away the Constitution and govern as a dictator. Of course it will be “for the good of the people.”

Kind of ironic, since Obama is an example of negative intelligence.
