Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution'
By Peter Slevin
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- Sen. Barack Obama delivered an impassioned defense of the Constitution and the rights of terrorism suspects tonight, striking back at one of the biggest applause lines in Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech to the GOP convention.
It was in St. Paul last week that Palin drew raucous cheers when she delivered this put-down of Obama: "Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and he's worried that someone won't read them their rights."
Obama had a few problems with that.

You know I keep forgetting he even has one. lol Obama is quickly becoming irrelevant and Joe Biden has just evaporated into dust.
Or it might be Barack the guy who hangs out with William Ayers the bomb thrower. See, ya never know.
Because those that Killed 3000 Americans on 911 are entitled to the same rights as the very citizens whose lives they stamped out RIGHT OSAMA.... You are a Terroist loving MUSLIM... may you rot in HELL..
I hope he delivers that as part of his 911 tribute speech and gets BOOED out of NY CITY.
>> Is Obama running for VP?
Apparently, he’s trying for second place in the POTUS race.
That’s almost the same thing as running for VP... isn’t it?
John McCain is a political genius (what did Rush call him...”McGenius.”) He has the Democratic Presidential nominee on the defensive, but not against the Republican Presidential nominee, but against the VP candidate. Doesn’t Obama get the fact that this diminishes his so called “political stature.” Why does it take Hillary, Biden, and Obama to all face off against one woman? It’s getting to be a little absurd, but entertaining.
Obama and Biden still can’t get over the Republican Convention. They are nuts.
HOLA!
Yeah Bambi, it's good not to mock the Constitution.
Is this guy actually a lawyer? You gotta be kidding.
Guess affirmative action is alive and well. /s off
So help me out here. Who is the old guard fiberal that Uhbamuh has as a running mate? His name escapes me and I’m thinking they should start one of those “Where’s (insert VP candidate name here)” series of books, as he has become quite invisible of late.
“Obama, who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago for more than a decade, said captured suspects deserve to file writs of habeus corpus.”
The Constitution nowhere says that they are and up until a few years ago, no American jurist ever suggested that they were.
To claim that Yemenis in Cuba have the same legal rights as American citizens in America is to mock the Constitution.
The Founding Fathers of the United States of America DID NOT WRITE the U.S. Constitution for a bunch of Islamofascists killing Americans and trying to destroy OUR country! If Obammie had spent more time in the United States and less time in Indonesia, who would know that. The SCOTUS “mocked” the Constitution when they gave constitutional rights to maggots who have never even been to this country. Stuff it Obammie!!!
Big time. This is all about ego. It is positively moronic for him to engage the VP nominee like this.
OK if they are US Citizens we will give them a fair trial and then shoot them. If they are not US Citizens they don't have constitutional rights.
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
Congress gave President Bush that power in the legislation they passed authorizing him to fight the War on Terror. So it's entirely Constitutional.
The Constitution allows the writ of habeas corpus to be suspended in cases of rebellion or invasion when the public safety requires it. The Founders understood that defending the public safety against foreign enemies and domestic rebels so why doesn't Barack Obama?
The man is a dumb a## and a danger to us and himself. Obama the global president feels everyone in the world has the same rights as an American citizen. Don’t mock the constitution! coming from a man I doubt knows whats in it. This is a man we want to lead our country?
He will inflict unmeasurable damage if this comes to pass.
Except the UNBORN!
Is Obama actually saying that foreign TERRORISTS have American rights (that our founding fathers set up)?!
