What you posted makes no sense as long Trump is the leader of your movement.

He read it and used it as toilet paper. He hates America and said he is not impressed with the Constitution. Of course. Obama is a Communist. Obama spoke as a world leader not for the United States which he put down constantly.

Pretty hard to get through school without reading all of it and having class lectures on each part. Suppose a D student could have squeaked by.

You know Obama was an attorney say what you may. He studied the constitution. But the thread is about mrT - let’s stick to that.

I've read every word. Over and Over. The first time, was quite some time ago, in elementary school. For those of us who received an education in the United States, it was required reading as part of a solid curriculum. Multiple examinations would prove our knowledge of it.

Have you read/heard what Trump has said?

And you feel that what he has said has integrity?

If you truly believe what a politician says is important...do you believe they need to speak the truth or just say what you want to hear?

If I say to you that the world is flat -- and that's what you want to believe you think that is a statement of integrity?

My son is 31 years old -- became a citizen at 29. CAnadian who moved here when he was 10.

He can discuss The Constitution and its amendments better than 99.9 per cent of his American peers.

I appreciate you have read it
I appreciate you are a lawyer and it is in your DNA (LOL) to appreciate it.


But my son has had some interesting discussions with life long Americans who don't have a clue.

I know this PResident doesn't understand, know and probably hasn't read The Constitution. Today he basically said he didn't. He does'nt understand why he just can't do what he wants. Constitution be damned

You don't really need to know what the Constitution says if you're a proponent of the "Living Constitution."

Quote:
While the arguments for the Living Constitution vary, they can generally be broken into two categories. First, the pragmatist view contends that interpreting the Constitution in accordance with its original meaning or intent is sometimes unacceptable as a policy matter, and thus that an evolving interpretation is necessary. The second, relating to intent, contends that the constitutional framers specifically wrote the Constitution in broad and flexible terms to create such a dynamic, "living" document. Opponents of the idea often argue that the Constitution should be changed through the amendment process, and that allowing judges to determine an ever-changing meaning of the constitution undermines democracy, etc.
All you need is a judicial Ouija board so you can contact its spirit and divine its intent.

This is absolutely the best spin on Trump EVER. You win. Apply for a job at The White House

Tell me what Trump has done that you think is so amazing.

Please don't tell me the stock market but he has done nothing for it. It thrives in spite of him and might have done way more.
