Constitutional nonsense -- Was President Obama a constitutional professor at the University of Chicago Law School, as he has claimed? Former law school Dean Richard Epstein says no. Charles Johnson reports for TheDC:
"When asked about whether Obama had ever taught 'constitutional law' as Obama has claimed as president and on the 2008 campaign trail, Epstein said 'no.' Obama was interested in 'public interest law' and courses on race, he said, and was trying to 'keep his head down' after a national controversy erupted over another member of the law school's faculty because of her interest in racial issues."
"History teaches us the unfortunate lesson that cultural values supplant constitutional rights whenever the cultural elite consider a right too burdensome to suit the needs of the moment. The outlandish pronouncement in Dred Scott 'that the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit,' the shameful court-approved internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, and the separate but equal doctrine that officially existed until 1954 are all examples of the evils that result when cultural values are given more weight than constitutional rights." -- Robert Dowlut
