I explained to him that it was not the place of birth of the presidents’ fathers that was the issue, but rather the status of their citizenship at the time of their sons’ births. The reporter scoffed and told me that that was just my opinion, but when I attempted to inform him that it was also the opinion of the Supreme Court, he turned and walked away from me while I was in mid-sentence.

The constitution is our core beliefs, as a nation.
The Constitution is a framework.
The law of the land is the Supreme Court.
People love to use the Constitution when it works in their favor.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.

You can pull out whatever you want.
The Constitution is still a framework and the law is the interpretation by the Supreme Court.

NO - its not.
Laws have to be interpreted. Only the Supreme Court can interpret the Constitution as it is applied.

The Supreme court is the law - - because it interprets the Constitution.

Well, maybe we could call it the "supreme" framework, as the Supreme Court will use no other framework for their interpretations.

Only because of the run away big government do people twist the words to mean something which it doesnt, like giving rights to the federal government or corporations rather than individuals. For all other purposes:
