I read a frightening article about a law professor that Obama is considering putting into power as a Judge. After reading the article my reaction was not a simple “no” it was “HELL NO!”.
The person in the article is said to be very intelligent, however this lawyer expressed the following beliefs about our constitution:
“Applications of constitutional text and principles must be open to adaptation and change … as the conditions and norms of our society become ever more distant from those of the Founding generation.”
He also went on to state this:
…the Constitution’s text and principles must be adapted to changes in the world
The rights covered in the Constitution are not open for negotiation. Even if they were, it is up to the legal citizen’s of this country to call for a Constitutional Convention to make changes, not a single person or small group of bureaucrats behind closed doors. I’m not thrilled that Article V allows Congress to make amendments since their track record so far is dubious at best.
The context and content of the Constitution will simply never be outmoded. There can be no scenario where the basic principles of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness could ever be construed as outdated. Among those principles is the right and duty of all legal citizens to defend those principles, armed if need be, from all enemies foreign and domestic.
Getting back to the article.. this person should never be put into a position of power, we do not need any more enemies of liberty at the head of our government, we have too many in power already.
