Time Magazine: The Constitution is Kinda Old, You Know

The Daily Caller has the information:

Time magazine still not so sure about this whole 'Constitution' deal -- You probably think that just because a bunch of dead white guys wrote down some boring words on a piece of parchment or whatever, way back in the olden times of powdered wigs and wooden teeth, that means we all have to follow those words. That's why you're too stupid to write for Time! TheDC's Jeff Poor reports: "On Thursday on MSNBC’s 'Morning Joe,' Time magazine editor Richard Stengel presented the cover of his new July 4 issue, which features the U.S. Constitution going through a paper shredder and asks if the document still matters. According to Stengel, it does, but not as much anymore. 'Yes, of course it still matters but in some ways it matters less than people think. People all the time are debating what's constitutional and what's unconstitutional. To me the Constitution is a guardrail. It's for when we are going off the road and it gets us back on. It's not a traffic cop that keeps us going down the center.'" Okay, so maybe Stengel doesn't do much driving. Or thinking, for that matter. But you get his point: The rules only count when you don't have to shred them to get what you want. Compounding the embarrassment for Stengel: He used to be the CEO of the National Constitution Center! Too bad he never got around to actually reading it. 

In the eyes of the liberals the real problem with the Constitution is it prohibits the kind of government control they want to assert over the people, and since they're so much smarter than the rest of us, they don't need the words of some very wise men to guide them.
