If Boehner is going to make a public statement about the Constitution vis-a-vis health care reform, he's a dolt if he doesn't bother to check his facts and get it right. That's why this article is important. It reveals Boehner as yet another self-absorbed, publicity-seeking, narcissist who rushes toward the camera lights like a moth to a flame without realizing he has no clue what he's talking about. Sadly, he and his ilk never seem to be burned to a crisp…

I am a federal lawyer and have studied the Constitution for 30 years now and I can't recall every detail. But, that's not necessary since I have a copy of it on my desk and can look up issues as they arise.

The crux of the problem is that almost no one wants to be BOUND by what the Constitution says. With the exception of Rep. Paul and Bachmann, I never hear an elected 'leader' read from the document itself and explain how their policy position is consonant with the precise language in the Constitution.

Without adherence to an unchanging, written rule of law, we are a nation of men and are doomed to be ruled by an ever-changing mob. That, sadly, is the case today.

Of course, the 'living Constitution' crowd is part of the group that doesn't want to bother with the rule of law.

Excellent point, Bill! Mises.org is one of my daily reads – 2nd only to LewRockwell.com.

Wait – so you have no issue with the fact that he does not even know such a basic thing – the difference between the Declaration and the Constitution? I find that to be HUGE – and do expect that if it were a different political thug, like Pelosi, doing the same thing people like yourself would be screaming about what an idiot she is.

Really? A guy gives one speech in front of a huge crowd (no teleprompter) and f's something up, and that means he's constitutionally illiterate? Folks need to get over themselves.

What dovetails with the Constitutional illiteracy is economic illiteracy, as well. The study of Austrian economics goes hand in hand with Constitutional study. Realize that the federal government is ultimately crumbling under the strain of it’s socialistic economic policies and criminal monetary policies. These policies can only have occured by subverting the Constitution. Everyone should also visit mises.org in addition to this tenther site for additional educational enhancement.
