The Warren invitation is disrespectful.

It may have seemed okay before, but not now. As I posted in another thread: when women were given the vote, men were not expected to give up theirs. When slaves were freed, white men were not enslaved in exchange.

Freedom is not a zero-sum game; one group is not expected to wait their turn or subject themselves to insults or further discrimination for the promise of rights at some future date.

Either we follow the Constitution or we don't.

Obama should do away with the invocation and replace it with an inspiring speech about the Constitution delivered by an historian or teacher.
