“So let’s just make a short list of the things the Constitution isn’t: • It isn’t an excuse to dump on people you don’t like • It isn’t carte blanche for the President to do whatever he or she likes, even if you happen to approve of whatever that is • It isn’t divinely ordained • It isn’t a vindication of “states rights” to infringe human rights • It isn’t written in stone or it wouldn’t allow for amendments • It isn’t protection of any one group’s “heritage” at the expense any other group’s • It isn’t a bulwark against immigration • It isn’t a defense of any one religious group over any other”
― Scott McMurrey, Scum America: The Stupid Factor
