Is All This Constitution Loving Getting Out of Hand?

Well let's start with the video that inspired this post's title shall we?  I will dissect it after you view it.  I hope you are not viewing this during dinner because it is nauseating:

 This is journalism?  What kind of softball set up is "What is this about?"  Was the question referring to the reading of the Constitution on the floor of the people's house?  Or ,as a dimly lit clown, Joy really wants to know what the Constitution is about?  Second, Bill Press is still alive!  Well I guess being on HLN, he might as well be dead.  Also, the right to privacy is not in the Constitution, Mr Press!  According to www.usconstitution.net - The Constitution does not specifically mention a right to privacy. However, Supreme Court decisions over the years have established that the right to privacy is a basic human right, and as such is protected by virtue of the 9th Amendment. The right to privacy has come to the public's attention via several controversial Supreme Court rulings, including several dealing with contraception (the Griswold and Eisenstadt cases), interracial marriage (the Loving case), and abortion (the well-known Roe v Wade case). In addition, it is said that a right to privacy is inherent in many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, such as the 3rd, the 4th's search and seizure limits, and the 5th's self-incrimination limit.
So it is the left's love affair with the Supreme Court that assumes 9 non-elected people with black robes, not the authors of the Constitution, interpreted the right to privacy to be in there.
 Then the slobbering buffoon goes on to say that only Congress can declare war (Article 1 Sec 8 for all you libs out there who care to look it up) as a slam against Republicans.  I am assuming he is digging up his "it is all Bush's fault" bone from his backyard.  Was Bill Clinton a Republican?  From www.fff.org : President Bill Clinton took or considered military action in Bosnia, Haiti, Korea, Kosovo, and Somalia — with nary a nod to Congress. This former state attorney general and constitutional law professor announced in 1993, “I would strenuously oppose attempts to encroach on the president’s foreign-policy powers.” Adopting a novel form of constitutional interpretation, he opined, “The Constitution leaves the president, for good and sufficient reasons, the ultimate decision-making authority.”
      How about  John F. Kennedy or Lyndon B. Johnson?  Oh and before I forget, Bill Press and the condescending Joy Behar read this:  Congress formally authorized the president to retaliate against any “nations, organization, or persons” he determined to be involved in the September 11. (Attribution again to fff.org)  So you idiots can tell me what Republicans MAY not know what is in the Constitution, let me educate you on exactly what IS NOT in the Constitution.  Right to Privacy-Nope.  Separation of Church and State-Nope.  Abortion-Nope.  And lastly, Same-Sex Marriages- ah that would also be NOPE.  So then they go to break.
     Give me a break.  Why all this hate for a document that has made people like Joy and Bill so rich?  Why so much hate that has done more to show American Exceptionalism than anything else?  This may be controversial, but what do I care.  We are America because of our Constitution.  No other country has anything like it.  Most countries are ruled by fiat.  One person rule and the rest follow.  Though I have many negative things to say about the Congress it is better than living under the thumb of some dictator, military command, or theocracy.
     Joy should just go back to "the narrow View" where at least the "victims of sleeping in" (Ted Nugent on Anderson 360) are watching and can worship you.  In this format you are nothing more than a sock puppet for the left and it is embarrassing.  Wouldn't a better set-up for this segment have been "Boehner is reading the Constitution.  It is about time.  We all need to know what is in it and not confuse it with Supreme Court precedent.  Bill do you like the fact that John Boehner will tell the public about freedom of the press and why we have jobs?"
     If any of you members of the 111th Congress, that swore (to God by the way) to uphold the Constitution come on the Joy Behar Show and say that it is old and there is no way to show original intent.  OR We can't travel back in time...OR it is over 100 years old...anything to that effect should immediately resign...FREELY!
