Gallows Humor in Post-Constitutional America

Here's a Twitter and Facebook update that's making the conservative, libertarian, and constitutionalist rounds: "Cato's pocket Constitution makes WaPo bestseller list! But appears to have been mistakenly filed under 'nonfiction.'"

Mr Antle
...Too subtile for me. (no sic. smile)

Seriously, this is no time for gallows humor.
In my mind, it is a time for discovering ways and means to preserve our constitution.
We hope to help accomplish precisely that: Tell me what you think.

Mr Antle,

This is a slender column, but I'm just curious:

What exactly do you mean by "Post-Constitutional" America?

The Constitution enshrined slavery in law: under it, whites in the South participated in one of the greatest crimes against humanity in modern world history.

By Post-Constitutional America are you referring to the fact that a slave's descendant is now First Lady, and the son of an African now President?

Or did you have something else in mind?

Because once we got rolling as a nation, we ENDED slavery: that too was Constitutional.

So I guess what I'm asking is, What do you mean by "Constitutional"?

OK LIb tard. Let me make it veeeeeery simple for you. Got your ears up?

OK
I never owned a slave. Nobody in three lifetimes has owned a slave here...(unlike Saudi Arabia which has thousands and thousands...today!)

Obama's ancestors sold my ancestors their slaves.
Get over it.
In the 1600s and 1700s a white man could not survive Africa. The natives brought fellow natives right down to the beach...for sale.

Does your work here give you a free pass with the communists in office?

Do you know the one reality of slavery? It is impossible without bended knee. I personally will die first. Will you?
It is the shame of a people that they bended knee. I hope they will get over it...someday.

Our constitution was amended. Good!

So why are so many black folks still enslaved by their communist masters?

Liberal Reader,

I was talking about "post-constitutional America" before we had a black president and first lady. Below I mention it in the context of a judicial nominee who I supported who was the daughter of sharecroppers:

It has to do with whether the Constitution limits in any meaningful sense what the federal government does. That doesn't mean the Constitution was a perfect document. Its flaws, however, were fixable through the amendment process (such as the amendment that ended slavery) while there is no solution to a government that defines its own powers.

So I'm afraid this isn't a racial issue or code word. Nice try, though.
