Washington Post Writer: Constitution is not binding to anything, and is confusing

He meant that the reading of the Constitution out loud has no binding effect, which is true. The document of course governs the power of the U.S. government including the Congress.

It's misleading to say that it was written over 100 years ago. Parts of it were (Articles 1-7 and amendments 1-15), and parts of it weren't (amendments 16-27).

there's probably a good reason why that moron works at the Washington Post, my guess is that MSNBC had it's quota of Constitutional retards.

not at all, I'm just saying that you calling Breitbart a liar is like me telling a fat guy he should go on a diet.

What lie are you alluding to? The scientific consensus on global warming or some other "lie".

here is Klein in his own words:

Ezra Klein - What the tea party wants from the Constitution

My friends on the right don't like to hear this, but the Constitution is not a clear document. Written more than 200 years ago, when America had 13 states and very different problems, it rarely speaks directly to the questions we ask it. The Second Amendment, for instance, says nothing about keeping a gun in the home if you've not signed up with a "well-regulated militia," but interpreting the Second Amendment broadly has been important to those who want to bear arms. And so they've done it.

That's their right, of course. Liberals pick and choose their moments of textual fidelity as well

he writes this in defense of the alleged Constitutional legality of the individual mandate part of Obamacare

Washington Post aka Pravda on the Potomac.

The funniest part of this sorry piece of bull crap is that he said the Constitution was written over a hundred years ago, I suppose he is confusing the Constitution with the Gettisburg Address.

He probably confuses the emancipation proclamation with coming out of the closet.

Not too uncommon lately as we see from the regurgitations we get from publically 'educated' children these days.

Sorry, it must be my public education, but I'm confused. I've read this post several times, but no matter how I read it, it seems to say the Constitution was written less than 100 years ago. Please enlighten me.

Oh, since you raise the subject, what did the Emancipation Proclamation do, specifically?
