I believe that Ezra Klein's honesty was an unintentional mistake. The problem, as Don Surber showed, was that he projected his belief system onto everyone else. He thought everyone else had no honor and was as desirous of forcing their policies on everyone as he is.

The very concepts of honor, limited government, individual freedom, and mutual respect seem quite alien to him.

"...Written more than 200 years ago, when America had 13 states and very different problems"

This displays the core conceit of Liberalism, which is that it is the Government's role to solve every problem. The truth is, the people solve the problems themselves.

Makes me wonder what a “constitution as written by a liberal” would look like.

[Howie66]

“Honestly Stuck On Stupid Leftist Butt-Munch” is more accurate.

[snarkbait]

Must me that’s why it was published in the ‘paper of record’ in the FAILED EMPIRE.

[cripplecreek]

Someone should ask the guy why he thinks the words “WE THE PEOPLE” is written so large on that mouldy old document.

[backwoods-engineer]

The Second Amendment, for instance, says nothing about keeping a gun in the home if you’ve not signed up with a ‘well-regulated militia

"Signed up"? That's like saying you can't eat unless you're signed up as a member of the human race. Surber does not know what he's talking about here.

A "well-regulated militia" implies two things: 1) every armed male citizen of age is automatically considered part of the militia; and "well regulated" means well-disciplined, or skilled. If the people can't keep and bear arms for themselves, and thus become competent in using them, how will they be expected to come together as the militia and defend their town, state, or country? Liberals who think the militia is something you "sign up for" are just stupid.

Surber falls into two failed and faulty mindsets in this piece: "only government can fix problems" and "words in the Constitution mean what the Progressives have defined them to mean in the last 100 years."

Ezra is one of those folks who sees no need whatsoever for the Constitution until somebody puts a firearm upside his head and tells him it's all over. Then he cries and bleets and wants his mommy.

He imagines law and order is some sort of magical field effect ~ not just an agreement among all of us.

Frankly, I'm getting quite tired of Leftwingtard magical thinking.

Great summation of the mind of a Progressive/Socialist/Marxist/ whatever they call themselves on the 28th of each month.

I’ll bet the little metrosexual turd-fondler could dazzle both of his readers with a learned article about gay sex education for 5 year olds and the benefits of multiple abortions. Ah,,, the fruits of higher education.

I'd really like to think you intended to write such an thoroughly ironic comment....

...written 200 years ago when American had 13 states and

one republic

Some people can oversimplify anything.

[popdonnelly]

We don’t need liberals telling us what the Constitution says, or should say. The more important question is, where are the liberals and the Left leading us?

[pnh102]

... but the Constitution is not a clear document.

Stopped reading right there. Perhaps the author of this piece should have his God-given first amendment rights to freedom of the press "interpreted" the same way he would want to "interpret" away our second amendment rights.

[cranked]

Does Erza Klein fully understand ObamaCare, a 2,000+ page document? Just wondering.... =.=

[webstersII]

Translation:
It doesn’t say what I want it to say, so we just need to scrap that old, useless, outdated document and come up with a grand, new, glorious one which requires everyone to be subjected to the elitists who are so much smarter and care so much more.

[y6162]

Ezra Klein = God’s gift to right wingers

Erza, dear, it is not a news flash that liberals don’t care about the constitution or the rule of law.

Roe vs Wade ring a bell?

[y6162]

I think Erza is floating a trial balloon that the constitutional requirement for a president to be a natural born citizen is open to interpretation.

I am a birther.

[FrankR]

Anyone who tries to piss on the Constitution is NOT an "honest" person...s/he is a traitor...

[Tanniker Smith]

Does Freedom of the Press only apply to Printing presses?

Because then it won't apply to the Internet. Or TV.
Or for that matter the parts of the print media that don't use printing presses.
