Foolish pretention
Reader comment on item: My Disrupted Talk at UCLA
in response to reader comment: The Constitution is the Constitution
Submitted by Emily Scopes (United States), Aug 17, 2007 at 23:25
It is ALL the Constitution, and there is no 'trumping' of one part versus the other. Your pretentiousness is alarming simply because you actually BELIEVE it to be a distinction with merit when it's not. Pretenders to conservatism often make those inane distinctions.
