Obama to Palin: 'Don't Mock the Constitution'

voices.washingtonpost.com — Obama calls out Palin and the GOP for mocking the constitution; "Don't mock the Constitution. Don't make fun of it. Don't suggest that it's not American to abide by what the founding fathers set up. It's worked pretty well for over 200 years." Sep 9, 2008 View in Crawl 4

@DavidBGieIf Digg liberals are the dumbest liberals then what does that make you, a Digg Conservative?PS FYI, its a rhetorical question [the type you don't answer]. Food for thought.

^^^Oh really? Well, I'd buy that if...they didn't vote with the Republicans on a number of issues, and if, they even got one thing done. Seems like they've spent the time pork-barreling with the Republicans and participating in the same bi-partisan bickering seen for years...Please don't tell me to pay attention to politics when you are a 16 year old kid that hasn't dipped into politics for probably more than a year, if that. You haven't the slightest clue what the actual job of our federal government is, as written in the Constitution, and the clauses with it. The country was screwed up long before Bush got here, but again, I realize you're 16, so I don't expect you to understand the state of the country, nor the effects of the ever increasing power of the federal government since this (Bushes 1st term) started when you were 8 YEARS OLD...You blame the Republicans for everything...right. Please, stay in school.Oh, I also saw one of your comments that you convinced your parents whom to vote for. I'll say this; your parents are stupid, not because who they want to vote for, but because they take advice from someone whom probably hasn't even gotten laid yet...

For all you that think FISA is a bad idea, consider it's function:"The President may authorize, through the Attorney General, electronic surveillance without a court order for the period of one year provided it is only for foreign intelligence information;[7] targeting foreign powers as defined by 50 U.S.C. §1801(a)(1),(2),(3)[11] or their agents; and there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party." -from wikipediaFISA is a powerful tool in preventing terrorism in this country, Obama knows it, and should know it since he is an expert in Constitutional law, hence his support for it. So the next time you go parroting "Obama supports FISA therefore he hates the constitution..." understand what FISA is, what it does, who it is meant for, and that the constitution protects Americans, not foreigners.
