The Constitution is known as 'the law of the land."
Why, then, do Democrats show such disdain toward it????
1. Here is the Democrat poster-lady, formerly lead attorney for the communist-inspired ACLU, spitting on the Constitution:
"Conservatives, however, have good reason to be skeptical of the leftās ārespectāā for the Constitution. Just last week, for example, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told an Egyptian TV station that she would not recommend the U.S. Constitution as model for Egyptās new government.
The problem, you see, is that the U.S. Constitution is āa rather old constitution.ā Ginsburg suggested that Egyptians should look instead to the Constitution of South Africa or perhaps the European Convention on Human Rights. All these are āmuch more recent than the U.S. Constitution.ā
Justice Ginsburg: "I Would Not Look to the U.S. Constitution"
2. Here are constitutionalists, and pro-America Justices berating the Liberals who use foreign law in making decisions:
Scalia, Rehnquist and Thomas wrote: āI do not believe that approval by āother nations and peoplesā should buttress our commitment to American principles any more thanā¦disapproval by other ānations and peoplesā should weaken our commitment. More importantly,ā foreign sources were being cited ānot to underscore our fidelity to the Constitutionā or to the American heritage, but rather āto set aside the centuries-old America practice- a practice still engaged in by a large majority of the relevant states- of letting a jury of 12 citizens decide whether, in a particular case, youth should be the basis of withholding the death penalty.ā ROPER V. SIMMONS
Scalia pointed out that Supreme Court Justices who cite international opinion do so only when it conforms to their own, liberal, preferences.
3. To be pro-America, a Justice must use the text, the written words of the Constitution...not biases and 'penumbras.'
4. "Judge Kavanaugh once wrote, āThe judgeās job is to interpret the law, not to make the law or make policy. So read the words of the statute as written. Read the text of the Constitution as written, mindful of history and tradition. Donāt make up new constitutional rights that are not in the text of the Constitution. Donāt shy away from enforcing constitutional rights that are in the text of the Constitution.ā
