A pocket version of the U.S. Constitution has become a best-seller on Amazon.com. […]

The Constitution emerged as a best-seller days after Muslim-American lawyer Khizr Khan, whose son was killed while serving in Iraq, flashed a pocket Constitution and offered to lend it to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a speech at the Democratic National Convention.

The version Khan used at the convention did not appear to be the same as the one that became popular on Amazon. …

If any purchasers bother to read it, they will discover it has nothing whatsoever in common with the platform or governing ethos of the Democratic Party.

That father’s anger should be aimed at Islam, which killed his son, not at Trump, who is pointing out the obvious.

How is banning Muslims (or anyone) from coming to the United States Unconstitutional?

Seriously, I have never seen that in there?

I know we throw around the "Jimmy Carter Banned Iranians" things, but isn't that in the Presidents and/or Legislative Branch Authority to do such a thing?

We have lost a very important point on people, that Non-Americans DO NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS U.S. CITIZENS!!

All of this concern for a Muslim’s feelings will vanish as the number of terror attacks increase. Most people wake up after experience teaches them a hard lesson.

My copy of the constitution gives his wife the right of free speech. Doesn’t the ACLU also subscribe to that view?

Good, I hope they actually read it and find that there is NOTHING within it that precludes the American people from keeping anybody out of the country that they wish, or who would potentially do them harm.

And when they realized that after about a half an hour (it is a short document after all), liberal sales of the constitution will dry up, and they’ll go back to their Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky diatribes.

sharia law is incompatible with British Common Law, which is the basis for the US Constitution and without which the Constitution is almost incapable of interpretation.

“We have lost a very important point on people, that Non-Americans DO NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS U.S. CITIZENS!!”

That would depend on if the words “citizen(s) and “people” are mean the exact same thing or if the have two entirely different meanings.

9-11 killed 3000 people. It didn’t change a thing. If anything, it helped the muslims by making them a protected class.
