“I’m surprised that the Congress and the president would choose to honor the Constitution by violating it,” Edward Rubin, dean of Vanderbilt Law School, said in a statement released by the university. “Nothing could be further from the meaning of the Constitution than compelling speech about a particular topic at a particular time.”

Are these people complaining about Constitution Day for real?

Do you think it's really unconstitutional to compel schools to talk about the constitution on Constitution Day?

Uh oh. Pledge of Allegiance declared unconstitutional

how is it the 'same basic principle'? The Pledge mentions religion...the Constitution Day thing just means you set aside a day for educational programs about the Constitution.

Personally, I think they're joking.

1) passive aggressive 2) refuses to respond directly 3) faux british affectation 4) 'borrowed' identity

read the thread. I don't feel like typing my sentiments regarding federally-mandated displays of patriotism all over again. And fuck off.

The American people want - no, demand - federally-forced displays of patriotism! Anyone who doesn't want it can get the hell out!
