Constitution interpreted according to the Law
During tonight's debate, John Kerry said:
These are constitutional rights, and I want to make sure we have judges who interpret the Constitution of the United States according to the law.
This irks me. It says that law already established shall be used to interprete the constitution, not the constitution should be the arbiter and guide that the laws should be judged against.
Does he really believe this?
