Republicans are well aware that the Constitution has been under attack since the day Obama took office.

Democrats prefer to pretend that every constitutional assault by Obama and his cronies is a perfectly acceptable means of serving the liberal agenda. But whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, it would serve you well to avail yourself of the opportunity to hear Congressman Rob Woodall speak. Woodall, who represents Georgia's 7th Congressional District, is decidedly conservative, and a staunch defender of the U.S. Constitution.

At a recent speaking engagement, Woodall didn't speak about his political perspective, but about all political perspectives as viewed through the lens of the Constitution.

Like many Representatives and Senators, Woodall is concerned about a growing tendency of Americans to forget the Constitution, or to not even be aware of its content. That wouldn't be of such concern if the Obama Administration didn't seem so intent on ignoring the provisions of the document that assures the freedoms that the founders of this country deemed essential to a democratic republic.

Obama's latest trampling of the Constitution involves his "recess appointments". Democrats are quick to point out that Republican presidents have made recess appointments, and they are entirely correct. However, when those appoints were made, the Senate was actually in recess.

That wasn't the case when Obama made his recent appointments. As Woodall explained, "The Constitution stipulates that the House and Senate cannot adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other body.  The House and Senate have not consented to adjourn and have in fact been holding pro-forma sessions every three days.  The President made these four “recess appointments” when there was no recess, as both the House and Senate continued to hold pro-forma sessions."

Woodall is obviously a strict constitutionalist, and whether you agree with him or not, it will serve you well to listen to him speak. You can't debate constitutionality if you don't know the rights that the Constitution guarantees. Or understand the implications if those rights are not protected.
