How little regard toward our Constitution and founding documents do Democrats have?
We're at the point where a man billed as one of the top constitutional lawyers on the left side of the aisle doesn't seem to know about them to the same extent a 16-year-old does.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat who helped lead the second impeachment against Donald Trump, managed to go viral in the bad sense for his questioning of Marco Hunter-Lopez, a Texas student testifying before a House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution and limited government.
Hunter-Lopez was there for a hearing on Wednesday titled “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution: Part II.”
If you missed part one, don't worry: The sequel surpasses it, from what I've seen.
Hunter-Lopez is a 16-year-old student from the Dallas suburb of Wylie, Texas, who tried to found a Republican Student Club but was denied because his club was "political in nature." He eventually got it approved, but according to his written testimony, he and others "faced hostile scrutiny" from administrators.
However, he said that other groups did not face similar scrutiny. From his testimony:
On February 2nd, I was leaving a meeting and was walking to the cafeteria for lunch and I saw a large booth labeled "Islam" set up during lunch. Four adult women from the organization "Why Islam" were there. I was confused and did not want to give it attention, but after discussing it with my friends, we decided to approach the booth. I had a discussion with the women -- one in particular who they kept referring me to because she knew most of the theological questions. As we tried to understand their goal, I looked over and saw multiple pamphlets spread out, one of which was explicitly titled "Understanding Shariah.”
