If the liberals don't like the constitution then don't swear to uphold it when you take office.
We can find people who will be more than happy to promise to uphold it and you can go home. . . . .

The last thing present-day liberals want is for the voters to get acquainted with the original liberals’ ideas contained in the U.S. Constitution.

Does anyone know what time the Constitution will be read; and if CSPAN will cover it?

What puzzles me is if some people and politicians think that they can just blow off the Constitution, why don't they follow that out to the logical conclusion? The Constitution is the foundational Law of the Land. Yet they want to ignore it when it suits them. Then why would they expect others to completely comply with Obamacare (or any other Federal law)?

Why should I be constrained by their pet laws when they so casually blow off the constraints of the foundational Law?

Funny how the "living Constitution" types don't see this.

We are going to see the “good-n-plenty” clause used for every piece of crap law coming down from above. What I have not heard is how the bill is determined to be constitutional.

The answer is simple. All Leftists believe in the supremacy of the state over the individual. The U.S. Constitution gives supremacy to individual rights and constrains the state (meaning, in this context, the federal government).

“Let’s stop pretending the Constitution is sacred.”

It may not be sacred but it is the only justification for the existence of the Federal government.

"The House GOP Weaponizes the Constitution,"

Excellent! That is exactly what we need to have happen. We need representatives (of the people) who will beat-down the monstrous un-Constitutional leviathan the federal government has become.

...argues that the Founding Fathers "wouldn't cotton to lawmakers exploiting their well-crafted document and turning it into hollow political ammo."

If you think it is "hollow political ammo" that just shows how little you understand (and revere) our Founding Fathers and their well-crafted document. It isn't hollow, as the big-government socialist fascists are about to find out.

I recommend you read Federalist No. 45. There Hamilton specifically says that the powers allocated to the federal government are narrowly defined, few in number and definite while those left to the states are expansive, numerous and indefinite in scope.

Michelle Malkin on F&F said it well: the Constitution is like garlic to the vampires. Our Constitution is the only thing standing in the way of the liberals’ plans for this nation. They must discredit it—and anyone who supports it—at any cost.

Liberals, with the Obama administration in the van guard

Eh? Is he a regular columnist with this "command" of the language?
