While channel surfing last night I happened across one of Bill O’Reilly’s infamous memo sessions. I’ll paraphrase a preposterous gob of drivel that blubbered out of his ignorant pie-hole.
According to O’Reilly, “We can’t tell people we understand the Constitution, nobody can make that claim because the Constitution is about interpretation. That’s why we need the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution for us.”
Here’s a challenge for y’all O’Reilly fans out there. What part of the following do you need a gang of partisan ideological bastards on the Court to ”interpret” for you?
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”(Amendment 10, United States Constitution)
Could it be any more clear to anyone that amendment 10 specifically forbids the federal government from any and all operations NOT authorized for the federal government by the Constitution and those powers/activities left exclusively to the States or the People?
Maybe O’Reilly needs to consider that the intended operations of the Supreme Court and Constitutional Lawyers is not to necessarily interpret the Constitution since most of it is self-explanatory, but rather to interpret the written sausage making/law that comes out of the hip pockets of politicians and their lawyered up staffs talented in linguistic gymnastics to make sure such concoctions live up to the mandates required by the Constitution, huh?
