I’m convinced that the Obama administration is the Fourth Reich. They seem to be repeating every action that the Nazis did in the 1930’s, as if it were a playbook.

From Obama’s book “Dreams of my Father”
BTW, Obama narrates the audio book, very creepy.

“I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos, the Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance pullets.”

Obama takes the guess work out of his view on the Constitution and the Supreme Court.

Obama in a public radio interview in 2001

“The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as I think people tried to characterize the Warren court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers and the Constitution, at least as it’s been interpreted.

Warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties, says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you. But it doesn’t say what the federal government must do on your behalf.

And that hasn’t shifted, and one of the, I think the tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still suffer from that.”
