US Constitution Trivia Question

[togor]

Then, I have an Article II, where I have to the right to do whatever I want as president

When did Barack Obama say this?

[Roadkingtrax]

The impeachment section?

[togor]

Imagine if Trump said that. His supporters would flip their lids. When it comes to the Constitution, they don't take any mess from anyone!

Actually it's a serious point that people are ignoring, which, when you think about it, makes an even broader point, doesn't it?

My thing is: people who turn a blind eye to important contradictions. On a recent work trip, I shot the sh*t with a Delta pilot who was heading home. He was a Boeing guy, 757s and 767s on international flights. Didn't fly Airbuses. He went chapter and verse into the problems with the Max 8, from an aviation and business perspective. The contradictions were there in how the program was put together, but people didn't want to see them, and so look where Boeing is now. In US politics, it is literally impossible to simultaneously abide the US Consitution and a President who claims that it gives him the "right to do whatever I want". Those words are his. The only way to make it work is to have one's head in the sand or up somewhere else about either Trump, the Constitution, or both. No other circumstance is possible.

Obviously Boggs... you don't have him on the ignore list.

And while you are here... being such a stout Constitutionalist ..... back when Trump did in fact say that..... why no hue and cry from you ?

Or licks his unmentionables.

Dolt kinda makes my point. Consider this an inoculation against future expressions of Constitutional piety. Don't it feel great to not give a crap?
