The President knows what the Constitution says, republicans know what they want it to say

Roger Simon with a bit of tounge-in-cheek on the 'mosque' flap: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0810/41134_Page2.html

___ An unidentified chief of staff to a “politically vulnerable House Democrat” told James Hohmann and Maggie Haberman of POLITICO that Obama’s statement “probably alienates a lot of independent voters” and “there are a lot of Democrats who are spooked in tough districts today” and “a lot of Republicans licking their chops right now.”

Maybe Obama is disconnected. After all, as a former professor of constitutional law, he actually knows what the Constitution says.

His opponents have no such fetters. They know what they want the Constitution to say: yes to guns, no to gay marriage and never to mosques close to hallowed ground, though churches and synagogues are OK.

What’s so wrong with that? I’ll bet they poll great.
