Obama versus the Constitution

Obama re his contempt for the U.S. Constitution

(a contempt reflected in the current Obamacare legislation which ignores and violates, inter alia, the 9th and 10th Amendments):

1. (Obama [panel discussion], Sept. 6, 2001, Odyssey program, Chicago’s WBEZ-FM radio):

"I think we can say that the Constitution reflected an enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day, and that the framers had that same blind spot. […The Constitution] reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day."

2. (Obama [panel discussion], Sept. 6, 2001, Odyssey program, Chicago’s WBEZ-FM radio):

"But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as people tried to characterize the Warren court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it’s been interpreted, and the Warren court interpreted it in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can’t do to you, it says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasn’t shifted."
