Iss, you raised the issue;
The question, I guess, is whether Obama and his nominee think the same, or are they both desireous of manipulating the Constitution when necessary to acheive their desired political or social outcome.
I congratulate you on your retraction above, btw. But this statement has no foundation in fact:
I am fully aware that lawyers, especially government lawyers, often engage in litigation with the intent of circumventing or subverting the constitution,
Can you provide statistics of the percentage of cases brought by "government lawyers"? My experience it seldom they who bring such cases to the court.
