I’m not expressing myself very clearly, and I apologize for that.
Many Americans, mostly but not exclusively on the left, react to anything they think is wrong or inappropriate by deciding it is therefore unconstitutional.
The problem with this notion is that our Constitution is, by purpose, a quite limited document. It has little or nothing to say about most issues. It was not intended to be a “fundamental law” replacing the details of the common law. It was by intent basically a rule book for how decisions would be made by the people’s reps, not a definition of what those decisions would be.
The Constitution says nothing about abortion, so leftists succeeded in getting the Court to go into mystical mode and find abortion to be a constitution right, as outlined in the previously unsuspected penumbras and emanations visible only to themselves. Similar approaches have taken entire aspects of potential legislation off the table by making them constitutional issues.
This is bad news, for our government and for the Constitution. Trying to make it do everything just means it can’t do what it was set up to do, provide that framework within which the people make decisiions. Instead, all decision will be made by unelected, lifetime tenure judges, as they are the only ones who can interpret the Constitution.
If that’s what you want, try to get judges to find some contortion by which misuse of a SS# makes a candidate for president ineligible for the office. You won’t find any such judge of course, but if you did it would be another nail in the coffin of the real Constitution..
End rant.
Exceptionally well-thought-out, well-stated, and vitally important to consider. Thank you.
It all goes back to his eigibility. If he were born here he would not need to steal a SS#.
That's the point. Get it?
I think some look at this as just another nail in the coffin of Obama’s ineligibility because if he was born here then he would not have to steal a SS number he could have just applied for one like the rest of us did. Right or wrong it does make you wonder why.
Federal employees can’t be hired if they have bogus SS numbers.
Geeze louise, get a grip.
