Perhaps that's important, if your political views are greatly influenced by the statements of retired politicians, rather than constitutional law and republican principles. I can't see that it has much to do with the choices facing voters this year, unless they're basing their vote(s) on what Reagan, Ford or Carter might have said, years after they left office...

Not-so-American swing voters in import states have been a problem during the most critical times.
