Prof. Michael Eric Dyson: Constitution ‘Hijacked By People With Narrow, Vicious Visions’

Video
» 286 comments

Michael Eric Dyson, professor at Georgetown University, engaged in a highly intellectual debate with George Will and others regarding the impact of the Constitution on today’s political discourse. While the panelists took turns explaining who their favorite Founding Father was and debating how flexible the Constitution was intended to be, Dyson was most fired up over some people today trying to claim they are the sole defenders of protecting the document.

Will argued it’s more important than ever to review the Constitution given that “the somewhat promiscuous expansion of government power in recent years raises questions about whether we still have a government of limited, delegated and enumerated powers.” And to Christiane Amanpour‘s amusement, Will confirmed he was specifically talking about President Obama’s promiscuous expansion.

Dyson responded that prior to its Amendments, the Constitution was far from perfect, yet “the Constitution is a powerful, living, vibrant document.” And of even more concern to him, was that he thinks the Constitution has been “hijacked by people with narrow, vicious and parochial visions.” Although he didn’t explicitly state who such people were, the implication seemed to be that members of the Tea Party and others who speak of “restoring the Constitution” in today’s politics are the ones deserving of Dyson’s ire.

Overall, a surprisingly historical and enlightening debate on This Week, and one that Amanpour successfully managed to steer away from becoming too painfully boring.

    I’m mot sure the term “hi-jacked” is what Liberals have done to the Constitution. The Left claims to “love” the Constitution while ignoring it, perverting it, and mis-quoting it all the while.

    A “flexible” Constitution is no Constitution at all. It was purposely created as very difficult to change, and it has only been altered 17 times throughout history…………………….the first 10 amendments only being redundant to the original text. It provides the framework necessary to insure freedom and growth, as long as it is upheld and enforced against those who would prefer it’s retirement as an obstacle to the Leftist mission of oppression and statism. Liberals must claim it “rubbery so as to distort it to conform to their anti-*****can agenda.

  • Liberal Tormentor – tormenting liberals with logic and facts since 1972

    Liberals show nothing but contempt for this country and its founders. It’s sad.

  • Fokker News

    The people with a true understanding of the constitution are the people who carry pocket editions of it with them to rallies, and wave it around. They are also the people most likely NOT able to answer any questions regarding U.S. history. They are the “non-thinkers” as Roger Ailes likes to call them.

    Well of course the “Teadiots” are the first to jump on the responses here. The people high-jacking the constitution is this court and their give aways to corporations. Lars do you really want corporations to be able to spend annonimously and without limits? Do you realy want that? If you do you are a true “Teadiot.” This courst is steadily eroding away your constutional protections against police powers and surveilance. It’s not the liberal members of the court doing it. It is your good buddies placed on there by lying Republicans that are rewriting the constituion. What you need to fear you red neck Jack Daniel swigging uneducated moron is BIG CORPORATIONS. You have bought their line of bull crap, hook line and sinker. They feed you what you think you want to hear and have their hands in your wallet laughing at you all the way to the bank – which they own as well!!! The Robert’s court is one of the most activist courts in history. They are looking out for the rights of big business. They are not looking out for small busness people or working class individuals like yourself.

    Another liberal who cannot make a comment without attempting to degrade people with a differing view. You realize that as soon as you use a derogatory term for a group you don’t agree with – they’ve won and you’ve lost?

    If you cannot argue on the merits or shortcomings of something and have to resort to misnaming a group of people than you are a narrow minded individual with no stance.

    To make a blanket statement and throw in nonsense about red necks, Jack Daniel, uneducated etc is surely a sign that you haven’t got anything else to argue your point.

    p.s. If they’re so uneducated, how did all this get by you, you brilliant wonder you? lol

  • MBW

    Wow. Talk about completely out of context.

    In that roundtable, Dyson AGREED with George Will on many things. This headline/article makes it sounds like he’s engaging in total partisanship.

    The roundtable, as the column acknowledges was actually quite intelligent and low red-meat partisanship.

  • MBW

    The reality is that the founders had differing views on the role of the government….and that is at the root of our two-party system today.

    The Constitution represents a compromise between those sides. Some wanted a strong central government, others wanted a weak central government.

    The result was a compromise.

    Those who claim that the Founders were in agreement on that are mistaken.

    The constitution was a document that left out women and blacks.

    Those are the facts.

    The constitution is not a sacred document anymore. It is a political weapon which is indeed hijacked by political figures for their own selfish, political aims.

    G Will did address the fact that with the inception of the Progressives under W Willson the constitution has been under assault. Our constitution was created to prevent tyranny and the Progressives are imposing terrany.

    Hey Seek… You are so right! Conservatives are the brightest people in the country. This is why we attacked a country (Iraq) that had never harmed us in any way on trumped up charges that were proven wrong. Those brilliant, fun loving conservatives destroyed our banking system with deregulation. There unfettered eloquence has allowed big business to run roughshod over small business and the working class. There humanity and caring is at the forefront as tens of thousands of individuals die each year for lack of health care. While their compassion shines through as others have their homes taken away from not being able to pay health related bills. Yes I am truly ashamed that I sullied anyone’s sensibilities of honest debate by denigrating the fact that uneducated, clueless individuals who cling to their religion and guns vote these people into office time and time again. (Opps, there I did it again.) Now their brilliance is about to destroy the economy a second time by forcing massive government cuts that will be taking billions and billions of dollars out of the economy when we need that money being spent and creating jobs. You are right a portion of the conservative movement are incredibly smart. Unfortunately, they combine that with greed. What makes them so bright is they are able to shape public opinion, to make wonderfully smart people like yourself buy into voting them into office where they work against YOUR OWN SELF-INTEREST. Wake up Seek. You and your kind are the reason this country is in the crapper. You keep backing the wrong horse. But, you are right conservatives would never disparage anyone like calling President Obama a D*&^! You’re pathetic.

  • Worp

    Dyson says the Constitution is the same as the Bible and should be interpreted. He can’t even distinguish between reason and belief. An narrow closed mind.

  • TillieGlockenspiel

    I was fascinated that George Will, when faced with arguments from Michael Eric Dyson, Christianne Amanpour (decidely not lacking in bias, but willing to listen), Richard Stengel, and Jill Lepore, was more than able to not only hold his own and but also to articulate a brilliant defense of the Constitution’s relevance today. Will was outnumbered four to one, but he fended off all of their irrelevant arguments.

    Dyson’s favorite founding father was predictable, Thomas Jefferson, because of his “relationship” with Sally Hemmings- honestly, that he actually teaches college students is a travesty. Jill Lepore’s favorite “founding father” was Benjamin Franklin’s sister- who mentioned issues of “social justice” in her letters to her brother! Apparently, Professor Lepore doesn’t believe in genders, like the Swedish kindergarten. (Why is it I doubt that she will be excoriated for calling Ben Franklin’s sister a founding father, unlike Michelle Bachmann for calling John Quincy Adams a founder? And, Lepore TEACHES at Harvard!)

    Ask yourself these questions, “Why is there the biggest gap between the rich and the poor there has ever been in the history of the country?” Ask yourself, “Why has the top 2% of Americans had their incomes increase 237% in the last 30 years while everyone else’s incomes remain flat?” There are smart Republicans.

Guns, these people don’t want to see YOU with an assault rifle in your hands, but they know they can afford to live in gated communities where they will be protected from the gun toting crowd so they give it to you to be on their team. Remember their goal is to keep BIG BANKING – BIG PHARMACUTICALS – BIG INSURANCE – BIG OIL – BIG MILITARY CONTRACTORS fat and happy.

    Same with the right and every other political party.

    Tea Party, like every other conservative movement that has come before it is a mainstream monster dressed as a fringe group and when it gains power, it collaborates with the other party and runs against the constitution.

    Isn’t the Patriot Act unconstitutional since it allows search and seizure without warrants (by the FBI, DEA ITF etc) and wiretaps(now ruled unconstitutional), limits our privacy, suspension of Habeas Corpus, Allows President to suspend due process for certain citizens.. Yet

    “Only 26 Republicans voted against the bill, and there are 52 members of the Republican Tea Party Caucus, whose chairperson, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) voted for reauthorization along with most of the rest of her caucus. As Slate’s Dave Weigel points out, only eight of the 26 were Republican freshmen elected last November. One hundred and twenty-two Democrats voted against reauthorization”

    Another great post. I would use Mitt Romney to personify the true force inside the Republican Party. Between 2006 and 2008 he had completely altered his positions on stem cell research, gun control, and abortion. There is no core to what he believes on these issues. He believes in the power and greed of money that drives the Republican Party. All these Tea Partiers who think someone without true credentials as an economic conservative can win are morons. The Republican Party is the party of the upper class and corporate interests. Just like Mitt Romney. They don’t give a damm about the pledge of allegiance or whether a woman can have an abortion.
    They care about preserving and bettering their economic status which ALWAYS means making life harder for everybody else. And for any Republicans who think the Tea Party and GOP does really care about you ask if your life and family is any better from the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003? An approximate 4 TRILLION!!! Trickle up not down economics. That is if you are lucky enough to be among the very wealthiest citizens. Wake up dumb teabaggers. Putting the Republican Party in the power is the best plan for job insecurity and reduced wages.

    The constitution is not a sacred document anymore. It is a political weapon which is indeed hijacked by political figures for their own selfish, political aims. Sarah Palin rode around in a bus emblazoned with the Constitution. Does anybody for a second think that Sarah Palin has a deep understanding of the constitution? Yeah sure.

    It is our foundational law. When we start deciding things based on what Sarah Palin’s bus says, then you can complain about it. It still is what it is and if you don’t like it you need to change it. You cannot simply decide it doesn’t matter anymore.

    Why does this need to be explained? Our education system is pathetic. On the bright side, self-esteem is at an all time high.

    Davo – I can tell you are exactly who the Republicans love. An uneducated, white guy, who thinks he loves America. The country hasn’t prospered under Republican economic theories. Only the top 2% of the country has prospered. The top 2% have had this same tax rate for 10 years and it didn’t create jobs. How can you possibly deny this. What has turned the country around a little is President Obama’s economic policies he championed through in spite of the idiot Republicans in congress trying to stop everything he tried to do. Look at the charts. Fact’s do not lie. There has been private sector job growth for months now compared to hemorrhaging private sector jobs throughout the Bush years. Don’t even come back with anything to the contrary for you will be once again making yourself look stupid. BTW… bright boy, employment is spelled with an “e”

    Michael Eric Dyson is for the most part right- we (especially through the media) tend to think that our present time is the most trying and we lack perspective on history.

    That being said, I wish it was specifically stated that the constitution is under siege by this administration in that they have greatly expanded executive orders and authority of the president, at times bypassing congress and the will of the people.

    The fact remains that the Obama administration is implementing cap and trade, net neutrality, and the dream act by federal regulation, even though congress didnt pass them into law and/or specifically voted against their passage.

    I urge everyone to educate yourself on the EPA’s expansion of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) as it pertains to implementing cap and trade and thereby circumventing congress.

    The FCC already has approved implementation of Net Neutrality rules, even though the house passed a resolution prohibiting its use.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/09/business/media/09broadband.html

    Now on the agenda is a back door implementation of the dream act through ICE (immigration and customs enforcement)

    http://multiamerican.scpr.org/2011/06/with-dream-act-a-tough-sell-ice-prosecutorial-discretion-memo-will-be-put-to-test/

    Now Im not trying to make some argument for or against these specific programs- the problem is that this administration is increasingly making congress irrelevant. (Not to mention the president ignoring the war powers act) So yes, Christine Amanpour, you can laugh, and Michael Eric Dyson can deflect, but this is dangerous ground we are treading on, and no president, regardless of party, should have the authority to bypass our legislative branch and disenfranchise the people.

    “One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.” –President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

    “If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program.” –President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

    “Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.” –Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

    “He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.” –Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

    “[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq’s refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.” Letter to President Clinton, signed by: — Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

    “Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.” -Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

    “Hussein has … chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies.” — Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

    “There is no doubt that … Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.” Letter to President Bush, Signed by: — Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

    “We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them.” — Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

    “We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country.” — Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

    “Iraq’s search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.” — Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

    “We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.” — Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

    “The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons…” — Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

    “I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.” — Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

    “There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years … We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.” — Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

    “He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do” — Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

    “In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members … It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.” — Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

    “We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.” — Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

    “Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation … And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction … So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real…” — Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

Why do you have so many negative thoughts for those willing to call for tax hikes on themselves yet not a negative word for those that are fighting tooth and nail against them? You really make no sense unless your goal is to just be negative against anything Democrat. I’m afraid I’m going to have to go back to ignoring you. This bores me to tears.

    I’m mot sure the term “hi-jacked” is what Liberals have done to the Constitution. The Left claims to “love” the Constitution while ignoring it, perverting it, and mis-quoting it all the while. A “flexible” Constitution is no Constitution at all. It was purposely created as very difficult to change, and it has only been altered 17 times throughout history…………………….the first 10 amendments only being redundant to the original text. It provides the framework necessary to insure freedom and growth, as long as it is upheld and enforced against those who would prefer it’s retirement as an obstacle to the Leftist mission of oppression and statism. Liberals must claim it “rubbery so as to distort it to conform to their anti-*****can agenda.

    Jefferson Memorial Panel Four: (Jefferson is not on your side of this argument)

    “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”

    Republicans Are Liars said:
    Hey
    Davo – I can tell you are exactly who the Republicans love. An uneducated, white guy, who thinks he loves America. The country hasn’t prospered under Republican economic theories. Only the top 2% of the country has prospered. The top 2% have had this same tax rate for 10 years and it didn’t create jobs. How can you possibly deny this. What has turned the country around a little is President Obama’s economic policies he championed through in spite of the idiot Republicans in congress trying to stop everything he tried to do. Look at the charts. Fact’s do not lie. There has been private sector job growth for months now compared to hemorrhaging private sector jobs throughout the Bush years. Don’t even come back with anything to the contrary for you will be once again making yourself look stupid.

    If I look “stupid” to someone Dim enough to be impressed with a chart that shows Hussein the Communist policies “turning the country around,” then I’ll just have to try and learn to live with it. The growing unemployment rate, skyrocketing food and gas prices, and out-of-control government encroachment into the private affairs of American citizens is what’s not debatable, Liars. Those are the fruits of Democrat handiwork.

    But honestly, I’d be as scatter-brained as you if I had to try to justify the unjust and legitimize the illegitimate by excusing excuse disastrous results your party has inflicted against America.

    Now, about that “quote” button…………….

    Not stable at all, as you probably know Facebook is easily hackable and I had a stalker who threatened to kill me over a number of months until I had to call the local police and they picked him up on cyberstalking. He stopped obviously, take every threat seriously Alice, when the police investigated this guy it turned out he had an extensive record and was wanted in Alabama.

    I’ve written to Mediaite again and also asked the person who has been harassed by him before to write to Midiaite on my behalf too. I’m publicly asking anyone else who has been harassed to please contact Mediaite. I find him to be obsessed and scary as did others that he has harassed.

    You will get nothing from Mediaite, you need to record what happens and call your local police, I complained to Facebook for months and only until I called my local police was anything done about it. The police take cyberstalking seriously. What a lot of people don’t know is that it is a Federal crime

    18 U.S.C. 875(c), it is a federal crime, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, to transmit any communication in interstate or foreign commerce containing a threat to injure the person of another.

    Something I didn’t know until I pressed charges, this guys trial isnt for a few more months but the police take it very seriously, people have been killed because in the past the authorities didn’t take it seriously. They don’t play around anymore when something is documented. I was actually surprised at how quickly they found this guy that was doing it and the charges he ended up getting. It turned out that he was doing the same thing to an ex wife and had been violent with her in the past which is why he is currently in an alabama county jail. Since this guy had a previous record, my lawyer told me he will probably do the full 5 years if he is found guilty in a Federal pen. I urge you to go to your local police Alice, this isn’t a joke.

    “Wait until your ox is gored”

    Professor Dyson views the Constitution as a Document that must expand and grow as times (America) changes.
    This is considered a Liberal viewpoint to Constitutional adjudication.

    Conversely, A Judge such as Robert Bork, Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, take a much more limited view of how far we should advance the Constitution.

    Let’s compare and contrast:

    In the early 1990s there was a Judicial debate over a woman’s right NOT to be accosted, entering a Planned Parenthood Clinic. The Courts finally decided on applying “time ,place and manner” considerations against protesters, demonstrating against a woman entering a clinic. Ergo, the Courts put a “Bubble of Protection” around the woman. (10 feet) Sometimes as much as across the road or street.

    Thus protecting The protesters freedom of speech, and the woman’s freedom to pass unmolested and threatened.

    Liberals applauded the decision.

    Now, what if the issue was about the economy and many manufacturing plants and their workers were on Strike? The Corporation hired replacement workers during the strike, and the Court’s determined that the SCABs, as it were, had a right to a 10 foot Bubble of Protection? The Strikers freedom of speech would be protected and the replacements would be protected from assault or threats?

    Conservatives applauded the decision. (hypothetically)

    Like I said: It all depends “whose ox is being gored.” Doesn’t it?

    Unfortunately it isn’t crazy after you have been the victim of cyberstalking, it is also serious to the guy that is in jail right now who was threatening my life. I just gave some advice to Alice not to take this lightly there are people in the world who are unhinged, I have seen this person jddoubleu, threaten people on this site before, unfortunately Mediaite hasn’t removed him and banned his IP address. They probably should because who knows what he is capable of, he seems unhinged to me and to Alice and I am sure other people. Alice should contact her local police who will not take this lightly. Most people on here are probably harmless and good people but this person jddoubleu isn’t. He should probably stop what he is doing now before he gets arrested, cause if he continues he will.

    Agreed seek, it’s one thing to disagree with someone politically, it is basically harmless and I think most of us are having fun going back and forth with each other, it is another thing when someone is stalking someone and threatening their life. It is uncalled for and can get you arrested. Who knows what this guy is capable of. I hope Mediaite does the right thing it is not cool at all.

    I was trying to polite last night and allow both you and I, an exit

    Quite simply, You were making a mechanical critique of Philosophical musings. (poorly)

    The very fact, that you found a chink in your armor, so to speak, made my point, nicely.

    I had asserted that Conservatives view themselves as the party of reason, except when that reason is confounded by Religious implications. Then “reason” can disappear, quickly.

    It takes men of principle and intellect to overcome such. For instance, many of the Founding Fathers.

    Anyway, When I read your Post this Morning:

    “Reason is not the domain of the schooled, but of the learned.” You broke the faith.

    My reply to your condescension:

    “Reason is not the domain of the learned, but of the schooled.” Touche’

    Yes, you have insulted me, for no apparent reason, other than I may have, inadvertently, threatened your
    Religious beliefs. Perhaps, if you’d have read my original Post, thoroughly, you would not have been disbobulated?

    What I do agree with you is that mediaite should ban all those who just want to talk about hating people, hating the President and wish him harm and the same for those on the left. It’s one thing to disagree with each other on politics and issues and joking, teasing and making fun of people and the stuff they do or say. But when it comes to the hate talk on both sides there should be no room for that on Mediaite. It just make the site seem more of a joke however it appears Mediaite has banned some of the Obama haters for sure. So props to Mediaite for that. It makes the site more legitimate.

    Great points, again like I said most people on here are having fun going back and forth, I have never sensed any real hatred from anyone aside from this person jddoubleu who I think is either a 17 year old kid who is about to get in over his head or a damaged person who probably needs to seek help. Either way its too bad, usually the discourse on here is heated but usually civil calling an older woman a c*nt and wishing she was dead just because she ascribes to a different political belief than you do is disgusting.

    Professor Dyson views the Constitution as a Document that must expand and grow as times (America) changes.
    This is considered a Liberal viewpoint to Constitutional adjudication.

    Conversely, A Judge such as Robert Bork, Antonin Scalia or Clarence Thomas, take a much more limited view of how far we should advance the Constitution.

    As I stated earlier in this thread, Liberals endeavor to legitimize a ‘rubbery’ constitution in order to pervert it to conform to their illegal and un-Constitutional agenda. A flexible,…………or “advanced” as you state it……….Constitution is no Constitution at all, just as unenforced laws are not laws but simply recommendations.

    The Constitution was intentionally created as a rather rigid framework to provide liberty through a limited government with only enumerated powers. Mankind’s God-given rights to liberty never “advance and grow as times (America) changes.” Right and wrong remain right and wrong, thus the Constitution can never be outdated. It can, however, be grossly misrepresented as in the so-called “separation of church and state,” or the “women’s constitutional right to an abortion,” neither of which policy being anywhere in the document at all.

    The Constitution is so difficult to modify that it has only been altered 17 times since its inception. Liberals, however, must claim to love it while at the same time pervert it, distort it, and downright ignore it to advance their anti-*****can LIberal agenda.

    I do like your creative word-smithing, though. It’s really clever the way you represent distortion of the Constitution as “advancement.” Advancement to what, pray tell.

The reason I find him rather scary is that he posted over and over that I am a murderer because I am Hospice caregiver. Anyone who goes so far as to investigate those who don’t agree with them politically and then posts that information in a discussion forum seems abnormally invested to the degree that should not be taken lightly. Someone is stealing my real identity here and posting under my real name. You can see it was done again in this thread. Also my facebook page is closed to everyone but my friends so my account had to be hacked in order to gain certain information that is on my page. jddoubleu has posted personal information about others and has used the name jdubblu and jdubbellu to do it. I can understand that all of us can get heated at times doing verbal battle here but to continually call someone a murderer and want them to kill themselves seems totally out of bounds and yes, a bit scary. As I’ve said, I’m not the only one who has had these experiences with jddoubleu but for quite a while now he has not said much of anything here except to and about me. I don’t understand that kind of obsession with just another poster on the interwebs.

    I will concede that the word, “advancement,” implies improvement. I assure you, I did not intend such. I was simply trying to clarify for the reader, the esoteric considerations of Supreme Court Decision making. That there are now two competing Philosophies, and most people have only a vague grasp of the inticasies, now involved.

    It should be simple, not complicated. It appears that both you and I see this, but…

    If you noticed, I try and use Dialectic Philosophy (Plato), question and answer, followed by more question. It is far better for a student to draw their own conclusion, and then affirm such, then have it lectured to death. Do you agree? LOL

    You mention you disagree with Roe v Wade? What about the progenitors, Griswold v Connecticut and Eisenstadt v Baird? They were based on an implied right to privacy. Does your wife or girlfriend use Birth Control?

    Also, The great Olmstead dissent in 1928, that said the Government doesn’t need a warrant for a wiretap. Can you see a little Roe, (Privacy) in Olmstead?

    I am a proponent of “Neutral Principle.” Robert Bork and Professor Wechsler argue about the viability. I find such to be the solution to conflicting legislation and adjudication.

    The comparison I made in my earlier Post, pitting Hill v Colorado–”Bubble of Protection, and my fictitious Scab scenario, is a perfect example of Neutral Principle. (A crude example would be if Beer is legal, why not Pot?)

    I have studied Con-Law, extensively. The “Wars” you refer coincide. You need to attack Religion, by way of the Constitution.

    About the time of the Brown v. Education decision, so too began small attacks on Religion and other First Amendment cases.

    Myself, I desire an ‘appropriate’ separation of church and state. Moreover, There are historical, religious considerations, that neither “advance or detract” from the States interest. The ACLU and others have even gone after those inconsequential issues too, with a vengeance.

    For instance: The emblem for a California City contains a Catholic Chapel. A Cross on hill that has been there for decades. Even the Ten Commandments and Pledge of allegiance…

    I don’t believe petty cases such as these merit such vehement attacks by Liberalism. Hence, the attack comes from somewhere much deeper and with a nefarious purpose?

    I didn’t state that I disagree with Roe v Wade, just that there is no such language in the Constitution. However, I never conceded the Liberal claim that abortion was an issue of “privacy.” Abortion, IMO, is flagrant violation of our Constitutional right to life. Although I recognize the need for government to cede ownership and control of one’s body to the one occupying it, the fetus is clearly NOT the woman’s body to destroy at will. The issue of “privacy” was thrown up as a diversion in attempt to confuse the reality of legalizing murder as a “Constitutional choice.”

    Nonsense, my new found friend. All our laws are born of morality. You consider it immoral for me to steal your property and I consider it immoral for you to kill my brother. Morality is what separates civilized beings from savages, and therefore is the parent of “reason.” Beasts know no morality (reason) but live according to natural instincts, including but not limited to killing one’s own sibling or stealing a friend’s food.

    Obfuscation of morality is a necessity for Liberals in order to give themselves permission to act immorally without guilt. But trying to cover one’s sh*t ala cats doesn’t make the sh*t disappear…………..it just allows the filth to exist unabated.

    Thus you disagree with Roe.

    I asked if you could see, at least a hint of Roe, in the completely unrelated by substance, but related by “principle”: Olmstead v US?

    The case was about wire taps. Of course, there were not telephones in 1787, yet… the Court expanded the interpretation of the Constitution. Just like another Court did in Eisenstadt, Griswold and Roe?

    Olmstead was 6-3 decision, against the petitioner. Holmes, Brandeis (“the great dissenters”) along with Butler, were in the minority. However, their dissent in 1928, became the law of the land, soon enough.

    I disagree with you about all law being based on Morality.

    Question: What is the difference between Ethics and Morality?

    Could ethics be born of the mind and intellect, while morality from the conscience, emotion and Religious inclination?

  • Resistance Is Futile

    The greatest and most influential defenders of the constitution of comme from the left not the right. Starting with Fredrick
    douglas in the 1850s, ready is July 4th 1852 speech http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4h2927.html through the Republican post Civil War congress to A Phillip Randolph during the 1930s through the 1960s. and then Thurgood Marshall who argued and won the most significant case in American history enforcing constitutional rights and interpreting the constitution, Brown v. The School board of Topeka Kansas. Due to pressure from the civil rights community and the left the Warren Court changed America from a oligarchy into a representative Democracy through countless decisions enforcing basic constitutional rights like the Gideon and Miranda cases. THe Congress during the 1960s passes the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 along with the Immigration Reform Act of 1965 all past by people on the left and opposed by conservatives enforcing basic rights found in the constitution

    On July 4th Americans should actually take some time and learn some American history.

    This website is dangerous I am going to exit, good luck to everyone.
    …………………………………………
    Shane, come back Shane. Please keep posting just as you have been and don’t change a thing, please!

    You’re starting to make me feel like I need a walker LOL … tho I am a 65 year old grandmother. But it’s not just me. He has searched personal information on other people and posted it. The reason I find him rather scary is that he posted over and over that I am a murderer because I am Hospice caregiver. Anyone who goes so far as to investigate those who don’t agree with them politically and then posts that information in a discussion forum seems abnormally invested to the degree that should not be taken lightly. Someone is stealing my real identity here and posting under my real name. You can see it was done again in this thread. Also my facebook page is closed to everyone but my friends so my account had to be hacked in order to gain certain information that is on my page. jddoubleu has posted personal information about others and has used the name jdubblu and jdubbellu to do it. I can understand that all of us can get heated at times doing verbal battle here but to continually call someone a murderer and want them to kill themselves seems totally out of bounds and yes, a bit scary. As I’ve said, I’m not the only one who has had these experiences with jddoubleu but for quite a while now he has not said much of anything here except to and about me. I don’t understand that kind of obsession with just another poster on the interwebs.

    You think Alice’s story is funny? Really? The reason I exited last night is because there is a type of person that thinks bullying a 65 year old Hospice caregiver is funny, that calling her a murderer and hacking her facebook is funny.

    I don’t think it is, I have urged Alice to go to the police I hope she does, cyberstalking isn’t funny there are too many stories that have ended tragically. My own experiences with cyberstalking ended with a man sitting in an Alabama county jail even as we speak.

    I understand that there are unhinged people in the world and a lot of them are on the Right, I just think it is really sad and way out of bounds that this person did this to Alice and I realize this is not a safe website. Alice I hope you go to the police today and documented all of the harrassment.

    Makes me sad that the people on the right do this kind of thing, bully elderly hospice caregivers.

    I do hope many of you who either laughed or egged the person on who ended up bullying this elderly woman feel some guilt this morning, I feel sadness that this is what our discourse has come to.

    I realize that this site is no longer fun when an elderly woman is harrassed called a murderer, hacked and told to please kill her self.

    This is no longer fun and no longer a game. I implore Mediaite to do something about it, cause at this point if they don’t I am going to.

    I have had a horrible experience with cyberbullying where a guy said he was going to murder me and my family, hacked my facebook and found out personal info on me and terrorized me and my friends for months. It is not funny and it isn’t a game. I bought a gun because of that guy and was ready to defend my family if something happened, fortunately the police arrested him.

    Anyone who gets joy out of terrorizing a older woman, is a sick piece of filth who deserves jail time or worse in my opinion.

    Step away from your partisan BS and think that this is a mother and a grandmother and feel shame.

    Where did our Founders desire our laws come from?

    “And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.” –Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 18, 1781

    “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If ‘Thou shalt not covet’ and ‘Thou shalt not steal’ were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free.” –John Adams, A Defense of the American Constitutions, 1787

    “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” –John Adams, Address to the Military , 1798

    “The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.” –Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted, 1775

    “It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. [The Constitution] was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect.” –Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on a National Bank, 1791

    The Constitution is a legal document. It is NOT a living document subject to the whims of whatever political party that happens to be in power. If it were meant to be a “living-document”, what would be the purpose of having a Constitution at all?! Why not just make it up as you go along?
    The Constitution is contractual restraints imposed upon this government. It is not, a malleable instrument to be used by this government to impose it’s will upon the people.

  • Spike1

    The Constitution is not a living document and should never be changed in any way. Liberals are always looking for a way to subvert to Constitution to fit their agenda of liberalism which will turn this nation into chaos. Our latest presidents have encouraged the liberal agenda by not securing our borders or deporting illegal aliens and interfering with states rights. Every war we have been involved in since WW2 has been illegal and we have taken many lives of innocent people that we called collateral damage and were no threat to our freedom. There is so much waste in government that it’s bringing our country down, there is no purpose for the EPA, Commerce Dept. Education Dept, these are provided by the states which can do a much better job locally. Older citizens have paid into S.S. all their lives and untill president Johnson raided it, their money was secured in a lock box. Now it is considered part of the national debt. If cutbacks are required, start in Washington, get rid of the automatic raises for congress and the armed forces which have 900 bases in foreign countries. The president and congress want to scare their senior constituents into believing their S.S. checks will be cut if the debt cieling isn’t raised, there are plenty of other unnecessary government programs and services that can be cut and I just named a few there are many more.

    I believe that we need but take literally our Constitution. I believe that our Founding Fathers
    were inspired to establish our Republic. I am very concerned about those who would
    move ‘U.S.’ to socialism, markism or anything else versus capitalism. These other forms
    of governments have failed and other countries are moving to capitalism while many are
    trying to move ‘U.S.’ away from capitalism. As my teenagers used to say:

    Exactly right. Similarly, as we continue to raise the debt ceiling to Democrat demands, that means there is NO debt ceiling at all. Democrat heaven……………spending unlimited by available rescources.

    Well, the Constitution was written with the facility to be modified, with great difficulty as a moderator. But you’re right that Liberals either pervert or disregard anything they deem necessary in their advancement of anti-*****can Communism.

    One must only take a glance at California or Detroit to see the unavoidable results of unbridled Liberalsim the anti-*****can Left dreams of reducing our entire nation down to…………………presumably to meet their mentally disordered notion of “fairness.” The leaders are doing this deliberately………………..and their followers are called “Dims” for good reason.

    “Obfuscate”?

    Have I been insulted?

    “Our Civil Liberties are no more dependent on our religious opinions, anymore than our religious opinions are dependent on physics and geometry” (Thomas Jefferson)

    “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.”

    Mr. Jefferson and his contemporaries were men of the “enlightenment,” also referred to as “The age of Reason.”

    Yet, DAVO, as you are a religious man, you typically, and dogmatically assert, that “all law is based on morality.”

    The Founders were products of the age of reason, who, also, were religious men, as men of that era tended to be.

    Moreover, the Founders were the progeny of millennia of religious totalitarianism, hence, they were wary of Religion.

    Anyway, I was polite not to lecture you on my thesis, rather, I asked you many questions, hoping you would either draw you own conclusions, or have the social graces to ask me questions, to clarify. Unfortunately, you seem to have swept away my question on Roe and Olmstead, TWICE. So too, you suggested I was obfuscating with minutiae by comparing ethics and morality. Have you ever read Plato and Dialectic philosophy? (I believe you erroneously thought I was threatening your religious beliefs) Sigh.

    In conclusion, I assert the Founders were almost desperate to reconcile their religiosity and their intellect, their God given intellect!

    That by fashioning a Constitution and subsequent Statutes based on “REASON,” which, coincidentally would satisfy their religious inclinations. The result, the first Nation in the History of mankind to have Governance based on reason (ethics)

    Note: The reverse is not necessarily true, as moral social dilemmas vary by religious perspective. Do you agree? Furthermore, “Reason” will almost always tell us that “Life, liberty and property” are axiomatic.

    This only a fragment of a thesis I have written and updated over the years. It is known as “Neutral Principle.”

    Judge Robert Bork first exposed me to such.

    “Perineum”: 1.) The portion of the body occupied by the urogenital passages and rectum.

    2.) The region between the anus and scrotum, in males.

    Exactly right. Similarly, as we continue to raise the debt ceiling to Democrat demands, that means there is NO debt ceiling at all. Democrat heaven……………spending unlimited by available rescources. Well, the Constitution was written with the facility to be modified, with great difficulty as a moderator. But you’re right that Liberals either pervert or disregard anything they deem necessary in their advancement of anti-*****can Communism. One must only take a glance at California or Detroit to see the unavoidable results of unbridled Liberalsim the anti-*****can Left dreams of reducing our entire nation down to…………………presumably to meet their mentally disordered notion of “fairness.” The leaders are doing this deliberately………………..and their followers are called “Dims” for good reason.

    Unfortunately, you seem to have swept away my question on Roe and Olmstead, TWICE. So too, you suggested I was obfuscating with minutiae by comparing ethics and morality. Have you ever read Plato and Dialectic philosophy? (I believe you erroneously thought I was threatening your religious beliefs) Sigh.

    In conclusion, I assert the Founders were almost desperate to reconcile their religiosity and their intellect, their God given intellect!

    “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.” Who can argue the meaning of that beginning to our founding Declaration, or it being the basis for our laws? Intellect is indeed “God given.” But He never intended that gift to be used apart from His guidance. And no, you don’t threaten my religious beliefs………………..that would require an insecurity I don’t suffer from.

    Since you cited Roe and Olmstead in support of the “privacy” issue, I assumed my response concerning Roe would suffice in addressing both as being extra-Constitutional, as literally ANYTHING could be excused as a ‘privacy issue.’ What more do you need than my stated rejection of the notion of abortion being a “Constitutional right” and my explanation of why I consider it a gross breach of our Constitutional right to life?

    Sorry you’re upset that I don’t adopt your style of communication. That isn’t necessary in order for me to understand your position…………………. I identified you in your first post just as I presume you did me as well. You also seem more irritable than when we first posted. Maybe you inhaled too much CO on your bike ride…………….I prefer sports cars, myself.

    Where’s that cookie?

  • Davo

    purveyor, I must amend my statement concerning Olmstead as it’s been a while since I discussed it. My memory had me reversing the roles and I incorrectly had Olmstead as being vindicated by the court’s decision. Nevertheless, I remain opposed to creative interpretations and over-complications of the Constitution, as those are only useful for it’s circumvention.

  • purveyor

    Yes, I was irritated by what I perceive as condescension, followed by feigned innocence.

    Our debate had evolved into whether Law should be predicated on Reason (ethics) or Morality (religious caprice)

    You had claimed “all law was based on morality”. Conversely, (re-cap) I demonstrated, quoting Mr. Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence, coupled with the historical consideration of the age of enlightenment. Which had been preceded by 2000 years of religious despotism, making the Founders wary of overt Religiosity. Hence, the founders were avoiding morally based law, preferring Reason, instead.

    Curiously, in your last reply, you never mentioned such, the main debate, the meat and potatoes. Why not just concede the point?

    Also, you suggested I was “obfuscating,” when, in fact, I was offering a substantive discussion on ethics, morals and law. In fact DAVO, you “obfuscated” when belittled such, Why did you do that?

    Sir, that topic and that discussion is an essential part of legal philosophy, and I have concluded you fear such? It is called Neutral principle (equal protection) and is advocated by a Professor Wechsler and acknowledged by Judge Bork, etc. Regardless, You boldly stated: Law is based on morality, as if such was now codified. I beg to differ. Furthermore, I assert Religion has no place in Judicial and legislative decisions for these same reasons, i.e., REASON, makes for better law.

    Regarding the relationship between the cases of Roe and Olmstead. You apparently caught yourself as I was not referring to “penumbral” privacy. Rather, I was referring to expanding Constitutional interpretation. Therefore, by your logic, Olmstead should have remained the law of the land and the Government could tap Phones and communications at their whim?

    That was my point. The Constitution has been way over advanced lately. However, the document is NOT an inflexible monolith! Better Justices would improve things, mightily. Moreover, lower Courts should be more selective.

    I do not think we are that far apart. I just think you did not ‘actively’ read and consider my thesis.

    Regarding motorsports. I have been involved with Motorcycles, and the business of Motorcycles. I spent 4 years Racing Superbike, professionally, in the early 80s. I have raced at Daytona, Elkhart Lake, Mid Ohio etc.

    I took a Driving school once at Road America, open wheel. FUNNNNN!

    Is this dipwad a “Costitutional law” professor like Barack? Have either of them even read the document? I understand it does have big words in it but as professors, I would assume they could find a dictionary.

    Silly question…If B Hussein was indeed a law professor, why is it that no former student has ever stepped forward claiming the prezidunt as a teacher? You would think it would be a bragging point…

  • george L

    Dyson is absolutely correct. No one had any concern for quoting the Constitution when Bush was president, or Reagan for that matter. Is that because Bush and Reagan were perfect followers of the Constitution? Nope. It is because as long as a Republican was president, they didn’t worry about it. Now, they need an excuse to attack, and they make up “violations” that do not exist.

  • X-3

    Dr. Dyson is a lunatic! The Constitution is not flexible, it may not be “interpreted” to mean anything other than what the words say. There is, however, a means to legally change the Constitution but it’s not at the whim of the party in power at the time any change is desired. When the powers that be try to do so, they are breaching their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and there are specifications within our body of laws to address those attempts.

    An intellectual debate with Michael Eric Dyson? You’ve got to be kidding me. More like an elitist liberal debate. You want to hear someone talk elitist bullcrap, then this is the guy you want to hear. It’s scary how many liberal morons like this jerk are in positions of power at our nation’s colleges.

    That may be true. But you tend to over-complicate the simple, IMO. It’s been my experience that those desiring to circumvent the law frequently complicate it in order to do so. Maybe I wrongly categorized you as such. I do maintain, though, that our founders credited God as the source of our laws and liberty, and provided documentation (to a less-prepared poster) in support.

    If you’re trying to get me to admit that religious dogma has no place in our legal system, then rest assured. Perhaps the “fear of religion” as you put it was a different topic altogether for the framers, as we are all aware of the perversion and abuse of God’s Word throughout history. That, however, has no effect on it;’s truth and accuracy, and little on those dedicated to adherence.

    Your question was to the source of our laws and I readily recognize God as that source, as did our founders. Sorry you find offense at the term “obfuscation” but separating atoms between molecules of “ethics” and “morality” is nothing more than academic confusion, IMO. How can there exist ethics without morality? You seem to equate “morality” with “religion,” both in that context as well as the founders’ mindset. Not so, anymore than Conservatives equate to Republicans………………………and I’m here to testify to that difference.

    One of the things most lacking in this site is the ability to make private contact with another poster in order to continue a discussion after the news story dies of old age. There have been others I would have liked to carry on further dialogue with, and this would be one of those times. Lemme know if you know of any available facility.

    Sadly, and apparently, I have a diminished ability to discern insightful commentary, from sarcasm. The sometimes silly combat in this forum, may be the culprit? Ya think?

    About a week ago I proposed that very idea (“further dialogue”) to my 84 year old mother. I was telling her how, on occasion I meet people that transcend the basic format of a Forum. How I wished there was a safe, clearinghouse, so to speak, for people wishing to do such?

    Maybe we need a DATING SERVICE? LOL

    Lastly, please do not think (assume) my purpose is to “circumvent,” the law. I am trying to reconcile and explain the process of God to man, the Man to Law, hence, codification. I seek a solution. Wechsler’s and Bork’s discussion of Neutral Principle opened my mind, way back in 1992. Ouch!

    I am very much a Conservative and my Posts indicate such. However, this weekend, when I ventured down this path, um, er, I confused a few people…

    One more thing: I bet you’d like to hear my thesis on “Economic Treason”?

    “A private economic decision or action, that affects our Nation’s economics, or, National Security”

    DAVO,

    Have you ever read “Miracle at Philadelphia,” by Catherine Drinker Brown?

    As I read her book, this once young (Freshman) agnostic, had to admit, that a Miracle had, indeed, taken place.

    Never heard of it. But then, I was in my late 40′s before I ever heard of “The Road to Serfdom,” by F.A. Hayek. The media statists did a great job of keeping it hidden from view.

    ‘Economic Treason’ is what’s happening as we now speak. While coincidences do occasionally occur, they are on the bottom of my “possible causes” list. The virtual verbatim adherence to instructions by Clower and PIven, William Ayers, and Karl Marx that our resident Communist-in-Chief subscribes to is NO coincidence. Nevertheless, I WOULD like to hear your analysis. Where? Maybe we’ll meet up on some other thread.

    Gotta go to work now, elderly sports car firmly bolted to my butt. I’ll be back online for a while tonite.

    I love it. One group says, if you want to change the Constitution, fine–just pass an amendment. The other group says we can just say the Constitution means whatever we want it to mean. Like liberals everywhere, Dyson is in the latter group, accusing the former of “hijacking the Constitution.”

    To say that the Constitution is not flexible is to claim that the Founding Fathers, or if you prefer the authors of the Constitution, foresaw every possible contingency that would occur 200 years later and beyond. It is the brilliance of the creators of the Constitution that they did not try to make ever law and regulation that could be needed. As an example, we do not need to amend the Constitution to authorize a Federal Aviation Administration who’s primary job is to ensure that aircraft are safe to operate, that those who fly and maintain them meet safety standards, and that air and ground collisions are prevented to the extent that is possible.

    This is obvious, but some would say that there is no mention of the FAA in the Constitution, therefore it is unconstitutional. That is the definition of “not flexible.”

    Promote the general welfare. (Not to be confused with the modernists argument to promote the general welfare state!)

  • george L

    Providing health care to all would certainly be considered promoting the general welfare. Therefore, it is clearly not unconstitutional. Taking it further, how is a “general welfare state” unconstitutional? I’m not saying it is a good idea. That is a separate debate. I’m just saying it is not unconstitutional by using your argument.

    The inclusions of the provision of the general welfare clause CLEARLY do not include health care. One’s health is one’s personal responsibility.
