The Left have long hated the restrictions that the constitution imposes on them -- giving rise to Woodrow Wilson's unfounded proclamation that the constitution is a "living" document: Meaning that the Left can ignore bits it thinks to be out of date. The constitution IS changeable -- but only by a vote of the people.
Just in time for the Independence Day holiday, a judge in California has intervened to allow members of the tea party there to hand out copies of the U.S. Constitution, which had been banished by a local library board decision.
The news of the battle comes from Brad Dacus, of Pacific Justice Institute, who has been fighting officials in Redding, Calif., since earlier this year on behalf of tea party groups who want to give out copies of America's founding document.
"As a matter of policy, they said they could not pass out the Constitution … We're talking about outside the library in the breezeway, where people have passed things out before. [Library officials] saw this group, a tea party group, passing out the Constitution and specifically amended their policy to make it more restrictive," he told WND.
A judge in Shasta County Superior Court now, however, has granted a preliminary injunction against the library, clearing the way for a distribution when tea party members choose, Dacus said.
"Of all places, the library should be encouraging the free flow of information, especially when it promotes patriotism, the Constitution, and good citizenship," said PJI affiliate attorney Timothy Pappas. "The evidence shows that the tea party members have acted sensibly and politely, that their educational activities occur away from the quiet reading rooms of the library, and their presence has not created any kind of disturbance."
He said the fight was ironic on two levels: the first that libraries generally are seen as spreading information, not censoring it, and the second that the Constitution probably "is the most accepted and revered document in our country, as well as the most uncontroversial."

So whats wrong with someone handing our copies of the U.S. CONSTITUTION dose it offend liberals? I suppose they would have allowed for passing out copies of the PLEDGE TO THE EARTH But in this case the constitution trumps the PC wackos
Yes, it does offend the liberals. They're all just professional victims anyway. My opinion is that the majority of problems in the United States stem from staying from the original Constitution and what the founding forefathers intended. Thanks, libturds.
they won't touch this forum because they see how ridiculous it would be to oppose the judge's decision
It's just a further illustration that the Left has a terrible agenda: to keep the sheeple in ignorance at all costs. Anyone who really reads the United States Constitution understands that it is a document that empowers the people and restrains the government--a message contrary to the goals of Liberals.
To be honest I think the decision to prevent them from handing out the Constitution was based more on who they were than what they were handing out.
The hatred of the left leads them to make all sorts of irrational decisions like that.
The same leftists dont object to handing out copies of DAS CAPITAL or THE COMMUNSIST MANAFESTO in fact they encourage it
