'In China a year and a half ago, I was talking to one of my Chinese relatives about the United States Constitution. He waved away the Constitution with a laugh. "Oh, that's all nonsense. it's just a piece of paper. Doesn't mean anything."' ... A Democrat.

Actually, a person who has lived in a culture whose governments, for thousands of years, has not had to answer to its populace. A person who does not yet grasp an understanding of words like "freedom", "liberty". For him it is a piece of paper; for us, it is the essence of our identity.

. . . for us, it is the essence of our identity . . .

For the Republican part of "us". For the Democratic part of "us", it means judges ignoring the Constitution when they please.
