actually, that does give him his “out” as a supposed con law dude b/c he and his supporters will say that he is referring the the “constution” which embraces and incorporates all of its amendments......
I did refer to the constitution including its amendments in a couple of my previous comments, and Obama can claim that everyone versed in constitutional law thinks of it that way, but I do still believe that when one uses the word “constitution” in a political speech it is meant to refer to the original document.... but yes, the Obamanators will claim that he was thinking of “equality” as expressed and developed in those amendments
I think it’s fairly obvious Obama got the two documents mixed up. A great many people do this, of course.
I had an extended conversation with a guy who claimed the Constitution referenced God, which, unlike the DOI, it does not.
He finally came up with date at the bottom, which refers to the year of our Lord.
Which I thought was really stretching things.
The DOI and Constitution have very different roles. DOI is aspirational. The Constitution is an operating manual for a gvernment which is capable of implementing those aspirations, if we don’t screw it up, which we’re well on the way to doing.
