On one hand you have Obama who studied Constitutional Law and graduated with a J.D. magna cum laude from Harvard.
On the other hand you have a big fat Orange Anus who hasn't even read the Constitution and is currently being tutored by Paul Ryan.
And we know whom the alleged "strict Constitutionalists" side with.
You can't fix stupid.
They need to feel some real pain.

(1,798 posts)1. Such people use it
To fool people but they're really on the side of the corporatist, billionaire class that has hurt this country and extreme religious assholes. It is always sad that they always bitch about how they're against something but it is always to HELP people that aren't rich but when it comes to the rich man? Well, nothing is ever wrong with that.

They only choose to apply the sections which fit their agenda.
I call it smorgasbord Christianity
That would make cherry picking the constitution, smorgasbord patriotism
