I think some of Obama's decisions are wrong but I have no doubt that he's intelligent, qualified and balanced.

There's a line here, yes. I think it's perfectly possible to go to Harvard Law and Teach Constitution Law and still be wrong about what the Constitution means.

Not stupid, just wrong.

@Uppity.

It's not because they're black. Please, please stop it.

You might remember I called this way back in mid 2008... any criticism of The One is automatically viewed as racist. Sometimes I hate being right. :(

The Constitution is pretty easy to understand. The differences of opinion are in the interpretation of the document. I might think that the Second Amendment allows for personal rocket launchers and tanks, while you might believe it bans rocks and sticks. These tools need to argue that Obama and Holder are misinterpreting the Constitution, not violating it.

It is fair to say that these men have forgotten far more about the Constitution than numbnuts like Hannity, Beck, Palin, Rush, and a million TeaBaggers with 8th grade educations know about the Constitution, combined.

Without Question!

I did a blog about the "originalist" school of thought when it comes to Constitutional law and I actually had one responder who was either in law school or was a graduate already who challenged me on it.

I think he actually won the debate, but I still disagreed on the grounds that the "original" constitution had that whole 3/5ths clause in it, so any time I hear some white person talk about going back to the "original intent" of the Constitution, with the inclusion of the Bill of Rights, I always get nervous.

I mean, granted I do hold Jefferson and the other framers as revolutionaries when it comes to providing such a democratic document at such an early age, but these were men, many of whom were Deists and were motivated by the budding of capitalism--were also slave owners, and still sexist in their approach. This is probably why I would make a good lawyer because I'd be arguing on the moral grounds of a law--but the judge would be looking at me like I had lost my mind.

And yes, I think it's effed up that people like an Obama or an Eric Holder make it to the literal top because they did what everyone told them to do which was get an ivy league education and live out this blessed American dream, and yes, I'm of the opinion that because they're black, they're getting a bad wrap for it.

Well. What I think about when I read things like this is my experiences as a woman in one of the scientific fields that is still 90% male. Young and naive at first I didn't think it would make any difference. I learned fast not to open my mouth to say anything unless I could prove it. And it used to annoy the crap out of me that they acted like they were doing me some kind of favor by letting me be part of their field of study. I remember once when I was in grad school and I saw one of my professor who was a visiting professor from Columbia while I was locking my bike to the bike rack. He said something to the effect that I was just as smart as the others. I think this was supposed to be a compliment, but it was sure a strange way of putting it. Anyway, what I mean to say by this is that I get your point and it wouldn't surprise me at all if more than a few of these folks are just ticked off that President Obama is smart and has been places and done things they haven't.

Chris Rock had a great saying in his HBO program, "A Black man has to fly to reach the same place a white man steps into."

Unfortunately, it remains true.
