You make it sound like there are times when the Constitution is relevant to Glorious Leader: I submit there are not. Collectivists view every aspect of a free Republic as a tool to exploit in its destruction. Today's typical liberal, versus the liberals of my youth, are almost all collectivists. The old liberals actually believed in Constitutional Supremacy...I'm not talking about the "new deal" types here, but the classical liberals back in the time when liberalism meant something entirely different than it does today. To these modern collectivist liberals the Constitution is a tool for dismantling the Republic. As an example, the idea is to take something like the 1st Amendment and exploit it to gain power, and as power is gradually accumulated, dispense with parts of it that consolidate their gains.....political correctness is a prime example of this....we simply are no longer allowed to have a public discourse on certain subjects, no matter how relevant they are to the governance of the country and health of the Republic. Urban crime and illegal immigration are two almost entirely forbidden topics of discussion in public forums.
He seems very concerned about the "pneumbras and emanations" of the constitution that allow for the murder of unborn children. He seems very concerned for the commerce clause and the power to tax that is being illegitimately (IMO) used to permit him and his ilk to shove an unwanted socialist healthcare bill down our throats. So when it is convenient for him he hugs and kisses the constitution when it is not he throws it in the toilet. As a side note, I find it interesting that gun owner are being lectured on respecting life by a president that is perfectly fine with third trimester abortions.
