    Careful now, you'll upset the idiots with your facts.

  • What the constitution says, differs from person to person, depending upon how dishonest they are.

  • the Constitution is too hard to understand ..... at least its not so clearly understood as what Karl Marx had to say about the way societies should be ran !!!!!

  • Klein does not say the Constitution is not binding. Klein says the simple act of a Congressional reading of the bare text of the Constitution has no binding power on anything. Congress could well still pass laws later found by the Supreme Court to be unconstitutional, just as in the past. That's why we have the Supreme Court. A fair "reading" of the Constitution would include not just the original text, but the text of every applicable Supreme Court ruling. Won't happen.

  • Another lefty imbecile who works at the Washington Post..

  • Finally somebody tells the truth!!

    He is correct-it binds nobody.(Read just the first page of Lysander Spooner)

    But here is the double edge sword....neither is their 'Law'.

    Both are opinions of men-this system is based on violence not consent. What you have here is a criminal organization masquerading as the "US Govt" pulling a transfer of wealth scheme-and you all by it hand over fist.

    Divide and conquer...

  • What in the Hell! The Constitution is NOT Binding? Where did the fed dig this guy up? I was taught to respect the Constitution and Bill of Rights. What has Happened to the America peeps oh Sheeps? When did we forget how to be independent? Does Freedom Mean ANYthing to anyone anymore?
