The Constitution

Ronald Reagan LOVED Constitution Day

Ronald Reagan LOVED the Constitution and in fact, issued Constitution Day Proclamations on every Sept. 17th that he was in Office! Were it only so today. I can find no mention of Constitution Day anywhere on the Whitehouse website and have heard nothing from President Bush. Most people will give some sort of "really. today is the Constitution's Birthday!? Yeah, whatever" or ".... hmmm, that's cool" response when learning of today's historical meaning. This is unhealthy and highly inappropriate behavior […]

We Need to Conserve the Spirit of ’76

Begin Mike Church Show Transcript Mike:  Don’t tell me you’re trying to conserve the Constitution using the Supreme Court’s convoluted interpretations of it of the last 50 years.  I actually heard, and we have this digital media file, Chrissy Hissy-Fit Matthews had Sheldon Whitehouse, a senator, and Orrin Batten the Hatch, a senator, on “Spitball” yesterday.  And he was asking them about Supreme Courts, about Obama’s upcoming SCOTUS choice.  [Mimicking Chris Matthew]  “Well, how do you think that [indiscernible] Supreme Court […]
