It's instructive that a "professor" who thinks the Constitution doesn't mean what it says imparts that belief onto every graduating law student/politician. This is why it was an imperative for the communists to gain control of education.

Well, he’s not Muslim.
Gawd, you HAVE to be kidding.
A muzzie is educating us on the Constitution?
Wow.. The end really is near.
HAHAHAHAHA An author for Salon lecturing on the constitution.
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy Slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about Slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save this Union, and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.
-- Abraham Lincoln, in a letter o Horace Greely, August 26, 1862.
Or the 1960 census for that matter.
Well, considering that he was born in the U.S. in 1958, I'd say you might be wrong. But boy, he sure does have a funny sounding name, amiright?
Salon surely is Satan’s mouthpiece.
Ted Cruz doesn’t understand the Constitution?? (from Wiki)
He served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to May 2008, after being appointed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott
Cruz was also an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, from 2004 to 2009. While there, he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation.
Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy.
After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree
The underlying political difference between the left and right is that the left has an inherent trust in gov’t,
and the right, as did the founders, have an inherent distrust of govt.
These political differences are based on a basic split on the answer to “who is Man”.
Lincoln didn’t give a hoot about slavery. If he did than why did he wait 1 1/2 years AFTER the Civil war started to give his Emancipation Proclamation? He did it because the war had become a drag on the North and they were actually LOSING the war at this point. AFTER his proclamation the North rallied and there was much more support for the war. I believe Slavery was a strawman rather than the reason. MONEY was always the reason. Free labor=Cheaper textiles!! The South was eating the North’s lunch when it came to manufacturing.
Gawd, no I’m not kidding. I assume that you’re responding to my remark that a friend of mine thinks that the American Indian wrote the Constitution? How does that have anything to do with the Magna Carta, et al?
The mistaken idea by the "constitutional scholar" Mr. Amar that without Lincoln the slaves would never have been freed or that we wouldn't have subsequent constitutional amendments banning slavery is preposterous. It's the old faulty logic that if one person hadn't done a certain thing, no one else would have ever done it.
Great point.
Or, one might suspect that this highly regarded Ivy League nobody is more full of crap than a Christmas goose, and is simply trying to rewrite history to empower his feeble ideological brethren, who seemingly can't survive without lies.
ditto.
“I suppose that they do understand it! Obviously they don’t care about it.”
And THAT, my dear, is the gist of it.
They simply ignore. Because they don’t like it. They can’t like the Constitution when they basically hate all of America including its history, and the Constitution is really what defines “America”.
Personally, I won't click on Salon, but whenever a liberal Obama shill like him professes to know more about the Constitution than even the most ignorant conservative, I call BS.
I don't need to click on the link to know what this person will say. I have said it many times over the years, I am grateful to liberals, in that you can glean the entire contents of their article or book by reading the first few words of what they say. They give it all away right up front, which is not bad, because they have saved me days, if not weeks of having to read their pap.
To know what they are thinking and what they plan to do, you need to do only two things: Listen to them, or note what they accuse their enemies of.
"This leftist moron and his "Salon.com" sycophants know less about the U.S. Constitution than my cats know."
Thank you.
The north went to war to defend the union and wound up saving the slaves. The south went to war to defend slavery and wound up losing everything.
