This one doesn’t do anything for me. He was essentially talking about the original Constitution allowing slavery, which he says created problems that last to this day. Typical liberal pablum, yes, but nothing on the order of threatening to confiscate the hard-earned wealth of productive American citizens and then redistributing it to those who hadn’t earned it. Which, incidentally, is classic Marxism (”From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” — Marx said it.)
To me, saying that the Constitution itself represents a fundamental flaw in the country is far worse, but yes, the other does play more into the current campaign narrative and shows Zero to be the Marxist that he is.
-—but nothing on the order of threatening to confiscate the hard-earned wealth of productive American citizens and then redistributing it to those who hadn’t earned it—
How very odd that you use the exact word that Obama uses in denying that he is advocating REDISTRIBUTION. Have you had a serious head injury on the left side of your head?
He said: put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributed change
He said: but I’m not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through the courts.
It [The Warren Court] didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it’s been interpreted, and the Warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can’t do to you, it says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf.
A Harvard Law Grad knows why the Constitution was crafted this way -- it wasn't for the new socialist order Obama intends to impose on the USA.
Pretty easy of HO-bama...he was niether BORN HERE, or RAISED HERE, yet has the AUDACITY to claim he’s the best to solve our “problems” that he and his own party GENERATED for an election issue.
