@theygunaHATEME That's funny bc the Nazis were fascists not socialists. Fascism is closer to neo-conservatism than socialism.

@hawkerdoo It kinda sounds like you just don't understand the constitution at all. All laws exist by will of the constitution. The constitution defines law by saying the "laws of the land" are something you have to follow. Any law that is deemed improper by the constitution is illegal, even if it was voted into legal existence by congress. Thus, free speech trumps any law against treason.

If you are arguing for a balanced interpretation of the const., then you are agreeing with the video.

Preamble...

Oh and it's "...provide for the common defense"

Also of note is that part about "...promote the general Welfare"

Interesting that...

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

@leeroynaggins Ummm... where does the Constitution say "promote the common defense" ?

well lets interject some truth to this arguement....truth #1 the president can nominate whoever he wants as a supreme court justice. it is the job of congress to decide if that person is right for the job. truth #2 kagan is a socialist read her white papers and you wont be able to argue that point...truth #3 the idea of a socalist system while maintaining our nationist ideals is an already tried and failed (misarably) system. sam since you of all people should know that historical FACT!

@HateNeverCeasesHate I think this guy like Sam Seder have a completely warped view of the Constitution as well as the purpose of government as desired by the founders. I find Sam Seder incredibly offensive, it's no wonder Air America didn't last you can only stomach so much bullshit!

@WhiteFlowerLei76 He would need facts, history and logic to support his criticisms which he comes up short on. His slander is especially entertaining though!
