Listen to Obama's words again. This isn't typical liberal stuff:

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.

This is beyond the usual liberal tripe. It is radical far leftist trip — the notion that the Constitution essentially MANDATES socialist policies. This is what Obama means when he is complaining about the Constitution as creating “a charter of negative liberties” rather than the 1787 version of The Communist Manifesto.

Okay, I’m rethinking what I said earlier. It’s bad enough that he believes in coercive redistribution of wealth. It’s worse when he entertains any notion that the Constitution mandates it.
