...from a likely source!
No longer satisfied with simply ignoring the Constitution, the sanctimonious windbag is attacking it....a full-on frontal assault!
1. "....six years into a presidency that hasnt managed to get the economy producing jobs at anything like, say, the Reagan rate....now hes blaming ... Roger Sherman.... the only signer of all four of Americas great state papers, the Continental Association (that set up the trade boycott with Britain), the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution.
2. Shermans greatest contribution was as architect of the so-called Connecticut Compromise. That was the breakthrough that gave popular representation to the House of Representatives and equal suffrage of the states to the Senate.
It is a core principle of our government.
3. All the more breathtaking, 225 years later, to hear the President of America carping about it .... Mr. Obama is blaming his inability to move his agenda on the disadvantage of having each state represented equally in the Senate.
4. .... he told big donors that one of the hurdles facing the Democrats is the apportionment of two senators to each state.... he also blamed demographics, meaning the tendency of the Democrats to congregate in cities.
Yet his main assertion was that it is some structural reasons that explain why, despite the fact that Republican ideas are largely rejected by the public, its still hard for us to break through.
[An admission that his 'ideas' aren't accepted!]
5. ... watch an indicator here at the Sun called the H.Q., which stands for hypocrisy quotient. .... It turns out that this particular statement by Mr. Obama registers at 1,11.9 one of the highest hypocrisy quotients ever recorded in a presidential statement. ... this stems from the discord between his assertion that GOP ideas have been rejected by the public and the particulars of the current Congress.
6. It is, after all, the upper chamber, the one in which the small states have an equal vote with the more populous states, that is controlled by the Democrats. It is the lower chamber, the one that is apportioned according to population, that is controlled by the Republicans.
7. In other words, things are just 180 degrees opposite of what the president is trying to palm off ....
8. If left to the popularly elected House,
Obamacare would have been lifted from the economy long ago.
We would have tax cuts. Wed have audited the Federal Reserve a year or two ago.
Wed know how much gold it has, who owns it, and where it is.
Wed know what the Fed has been doing with foreign banks.
Wed have reciprocity among the states for concealed carry of pistols. Oooh, dont get us started.
9. ... this exposes Americas constitutional bedrock. Were in touch with the left-of-center scholars, such as, to name but one, the University of Texas law school sage Sanford Levinson, who has been hunting for ways to get around the fact that the equal suffrage of the states in the Senate is the one remaining part of the Constitution that is essentially impossible to amend...
10. We embrace this debate, even when we dont agree. What we dont embrace is the tendency to blame the rules or the Founders. Smarmy is the word for the suggestion that the GOP lacks for standing with the people.
The party of Lincoln controls the peoples House because of the substance."

Remember when there were simpletons who actually believed that the lecturer at the University of Chicago was some sort of constitutional scholar???
....or that he subscribed to the United States Constitution???
