That's true. But in the context of American politics, Feinstein's position on gun legislation has been blatantly unconstitutional. Why then the surprise when she extends that disregard for the constitution into other areas of politics?
- dllthomas 13y agoA certain amount of it is people convincing themselves that the constitution says what they want it to say. But even if you take the position that Feinstein's disregard of the 2nd amendment is so clear and unequivocal that it must be obvious even to her, all that really shows is that "regard for the constitution" isn't a good model for her. That doesn't mean that anti-"regard for the constitution" is a good model; there could very well be other principles we would expect her to hold true to, which this could be in violation of, which would yield surprise.
