He taught Constitutional Law, as well as other law classes, at the University of Chicago.
Obama dedicated his life to educating students about the importance of our Constitution. He cherishes it and he understands the Constitution inside and out.
It is refreshing and uplifting to know that his knowledge and his commitment to our Constitution and our rights---will be parlayed into votes and policies that preserve our Constitution.
I don't think many people realize how deep and profound Obama's commitment to our Constitution is.
It guides his stances on issues, and he is hell bent on honoring our Founding Fathers and preserving our democracy. I am so inspired by his commitment to placing the power back into the hands of "We the People".
Obama is also dedicated to restoring Habeas Corpus, after Bush and Gonzales stripped it away. As it stands right now, our government can arrest you and it doesn't have to produce a "body of evidence" against you, if it doesn't feel like it. That's what Bush did. Obama wants to change that.
He also wants Guantanamo closed yesterday, the signing statements to end and the "Unitary Executive" mindset dumped. He will advocate to end these illegal wiretaps, and make it clear to the American public that we don't need to sacrifice our freedoms to be safe.
Our Constitution is in good hands with a President Obama. His knowledge and commitment to the Constitution was my primary reason for supporting him. If you have a President who not only "gets it" but is a expert on the Constitution---so many of the BushCo wrongs will be righted the day that person takes office.
Very, very pleased to hear this and I look forward to more stellar, patriotic decisions like this from Obama.
