Perhaps the funniest line from the SOTU address: “We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we’re all created equal…” Could somebody please inform our scholarly President, former University of Chicago Constitutional law adjunct, president of the1990-1991 Harvard Law Review (the least cited volume [104] of the last 20 years) that the Constitution says nothing about “the notion that we’re all created equal…” That would be the Declaration of Independence. Maybe it’s just President Obama getting carried away again with his zeal for a “living constitution.”
