Comparisons to Lincoln may be apropos, after all Lincoln didn’t have much use for the constitution either. Let’s hope we don’t have a repeat of what followed the election of Lincoln.

The problems started when a pro-slavery political class with no civic morals nor civic maturity lied, cheated and rabble roused a region into rebellion. It was left to Lincoln to clean up the mess, liberate the South from the secessionist establishment and free the continent from endless conflict between the champions of liberty and the champions of slavery. As a southerner, I'm extremely grateful that Lincoln freed me and my ancestors from the despotism of the plantation class. This great man deserves a place of honor with Washington and it's a shame that Obama is trying to steal our great Republican hero.

Do I dare hope you are a Republican?

Say what you will but Lincoln still didn’t have much use for the constitution, that is fact.
