(LucyT, could you ping to this please?)

I know I have posted this several times on past threads. It has always been the most frightening snippet about Obama I have ever read. The speaker, Robin L West worked with Obama on the Harvard Law Review. Georgetown Law - Full time Faculty

=============================

Obama kept Law Review balanced - Politico.com Print View

.......Obama "clearly agreed with me at the time that a shift in constitutional thinking from a rights-based discourse to one that centered [on] responsibility and duties ... would be a good thing," West told Politico. "Partly because of those conversations, I don't find it surprising at all that Sen. Obama's speeches are often marked by calls to spark a sense of responsibility, rather than a sense of grievance......"
(Excerpt)
===========================

IOW, obama believes duty to government is primary. Individual rights, what this country was founded on, finishes second.

Get the right judges on SCOTUS and the Constitution can mean anything they want it to mean.

It is not a good thing no matter how one looks at it. I have never understood why that quote never got any traction.
