Rove: Constitution is Hot Wax

this speech was from last winter but it is Karl Rove talking about the Supreme Court, I thought
you'll would enjoy it today.

This important debate will decide whether we treat the Constitution as the governing charter of our nation - or whether we will treat it as if it is made of hot wax: pliable, inconstant, and easily changed. It will determine whether issues of enormous public importance will be decided by the American people and their elected representatives - or by nine lawyers in robes.

The will of the people cannot be subverted in case after case, on issue after issue, year after year. The public will eventually insist on reclaiming their rights as a sovereign people - and they will insist government return to its founding principles with judges who do not pursue political agendas, but instead strictly interpret and apply the Constitution.

Beeswax for that added bit of heat.

what they accuse others of doing, they do themselves, up is down, East is West, broke is fixed

:evilgrin:

how can a fluid constitution ever be the framework for a functional government

expect no change in interpretation. Now they are contradicting themselves. Bunch of hypocrites.

Article 1
Duties of Congress---Section 8
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
Funny, I don't see anything here that says that the president shall make laws whenever he
wants, it says Congress shall make ALL laws.

In Article 2, they have the mandatory oath of office of the president written there:
Section 1:
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Section 2: Here's a partial list of his duties, I see a bunch of "with the advice and consent
of Congress here, hmmmm)

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
