?? Because Obama articulated it in an easier to understand form, you dismiss it? You think "congress shall make no law..."
"may not be infringed..." is just "specious," when those are living examples of negative liberties?
<smh>
IMO it is not easier to understand at all. I've long been aware of rights and powers in the context of the US Constitution and Natural Law and other things, because I've read numerous books on the subjects over 25 years or more. Different books and different authors.
Now our illustrious Gunslinger Barack, with all his demonstrated respect for the rule of law and due process (that's sarcasm), articulates specious language and notions that amount to sophistry. Sorry, he has clouded things, not make them easier to understand.
