Obama is supposedly a Constitutional Scholar.
Personally I believe his scholarship was mostly on Marx.
Or perhaps the USSR’s constitution. It’s got all those state-given rights and all (not a single one is a natural right that cannot be taken away and forget about God-given rights under a communist dictatorship with state-imposed atheism), and isn’t a charter of negative liberties (mostly). It even tells you what the government should do on your behalf . . .
It’s best if you not mention that scholarship stuff.
Obama is supposedly a lot of things he isn't and is a lot of things he shouldn't be.
Yeah. Bil Clinton was supposedly a Constitutional scholar, too. Here are four examples of what Clinton learned during his . . . um . . . Constitutional studies:
``If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government’s ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.’’ -- President Bill Clinton, August 12, 1993
``The purpose of government is to reign in the rights of the people’’ –- Bill Clinton during an interview on MTV in 1993
``We can’t be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans…that we forget about reality.’’ -- President Bill Clinton, quoted in USA Today, March 11, 1993, Page 2A, ``NRA change: `Omnipotent to powerful’’’ by Debbie Howlett
“When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly… that they would work for the common good, as well as for the individual welfare… However, now there’s a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there’s too much freedom. When personal freedom’s being abused, you have to move to limit it.” – Bill Clinton, April 19, 1995
Apparently, the only reason any Democrat studies the Constitution is to find loopholes around it.
Although finding loopholes would at least acknowledge that the Constitution has some legal legitimacy. Nowadays, Democrats openly assert that the Constitution is not legally binding at all. So they really don't need to bother to find loopholes anymore.
