‘Constitutional conservatives’ ignore the Constitution on Obamacare
Washington Post ^ | September 23, 2013 | by Jonathan Capehart

Posted on 09/23/2013 5:18:01 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Conservative Republicans are so very fond of telling everyone else how no one loves the Constitution more than they do. Therefore, anyone who does anything they don’t like hates the Constitution (and by extension, America). And if you’re President Obama, your every action is a violation of our nation’s most sacred secular document. The whole thing is maddening because these very same folks are trying to thwart the Constitution’s basic tenets and take down the economy with their shenanigans over Obamacare.

“Constitutional conservatives” were certain that the guardians of the Constitution — the Supreme Court

Just gonna stop reading right there. On what planet are these lunatics living? Is the rent cheap?

The Supreme Court is NOT what I would consider a guardian of the Constitution. The PEOPLE, you and me and this idiot, unfortunately, are the guardians. We're the ones calling the shots, supposedly, and we want this abortion of a law repealed.

The immediate and swift repudiation of almost all representatives who voted for this abomination of law should've sent a resounding message to Capitol Hill that what they did was WRONG and will be fought tooth and nail. The American people are freaking pissed off.

And these are the idiots who keep telling us that it’s going to be the law of the land so we the people should suck it up and deal with it.

Border control is the law of the land so where is it?

Women couldn’t vote because it was the law of the land so why are women voting?

Jonathan Capehart should stop trying to be a journalist and hang out at the gay bathhouse full-time.

So the country should go back to the Dred Scott decision ?

It was the law of the land....

This retard doesn’t understand bad laws happen sometimes.... And the constitution has built in mechanism to fix them...

Perzactly.

And yeah, what Cruz is doing is perfectly Constitutional.

Bezos hasn’t improved the Compost. Maybe it’s time to boycott Amazon.

The problem is these idiots that are elected have no idea who or what the constitution is nor do they know the bill of rights and anything about American history.
