NBC news reported this morning that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor spent a lot of time in the last couple of weeks booking up on constitutional law, a subject matter that she was apparently unschooled in prior to her recent cram session.
Note that the phrase “constitutional law” was used, and not “the Constitution.” So-called constitutional law is the body of legalese that has been built up over the generations that politicians and judges rely on to justify ignoring all constitutional constraints on governmental power. It was invented by the Father of Constitutional Subversion, Alexander Hamilton, who was the first to discover “implied powers” in the Constitution.
