1. "[Justice] Ginsburg, whose job on the Supreme Court is to uphold the U.S. Constitution, has a curious but sadly widespread disdain for that document.

2. "Yet, despite the transparent nature of Egypts Islamic revolution, liberal elites in the West continue marching along in total darkness, fantasizing about what rights the new Egyptian constitution might guarantee for homosexuals and women. These blind guides act as if a piece of paper will prevent the Muslim Brotherhood from implementing tyranny and enforcing sharia law, and will usher in a new era of Western-style freedom and peace in Egypt.
3. ...she proceeded to trash the United States Constitutionthe very document she is sworn to support as one of just nine sitting justices on the United States Supreme Court.
I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012, Ginsburg told her foreign audience. Egypt needs a more recent document to work from, she believes, like South Africas constitution. South African law guarantees citizens the rights to housing, education and health careall high-ranking items on the liberal agenda. South Africas free speech clause, on the other hand, is much more restrictive than the U.S. Constitution and could be used by oppressors as an easy excuse to squelch any expression deemed to be controversial.
4. But its still shocking to hear a Supreme Court justice, of all people, insult the supreme law of the United States in front of a foreign audience....what better place to receive a warm reception than in Cairo? Cairo, remember, is where President Obama spoke in 2009 about Islams proud tradition of tolerance.
5. ...President Obama was asked to respond to critics on the left who say he hasnt been the transformational political figure he promised to be. Whats frustrated people, the president said, is that I have not been able to force Congress to implement every aspect of what I said in 2008.

6. The president has long desired to cast off the restraints of the U.S. Constitution. During a 2001 interview, many years before he became president, Mr. Obama criticized the document as being a charter of negative liberties....There are lots of possible reasons, the Times explained. The United States Constitution is terse and old, and it guarantees relatively few rights.
7. When the American Framers wrote the U.S. Constitution, they intended to prevent abuse of power by carefully defining the specific responsibilities and narrowly restricting the administrative powers of all three government branches. The highest authority of the land wasnt any particular branch of government or elected official.
It was the United States Constitution.
This supreme law concept, of course, is firmly rooted in the pages of your Bible. There is just one lawgiver, Scripture says,...
8. In his 1999 essay No Law Without Order, historian Paul Johnson wrote, The essence of the rule of law is its impersonality, omnipotence and ubiquity. It is the same law for everyone, everywherekings, emperors, high priests, the state itself, are subject to it. If exceptions are made, the rule of law begins to collapsethat was the grand lesson of antiquity.
