Rush Limbaugh's Failure to Understand the Constitution

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Just a quick note. . .

I listen to Rush Limbaugh as often as I am able.  He is entertaining.  He gets it when it comes to conservatism.  However, the radio powerhouse does not understand the Constitution like he thinks he does.  Last year I caught him wrong on the Constitution five times.  This week alone, twice.

This weekend I will be writing articles right here on Political Pistachio addressing those two errors.

His first?  What is the Law of the Land?  What does the Law of the Land mean?  Article VI. of the Constitution contains the answer.

His second occurred when he was hammering on Chuck Schumer. when he said, "Schools, roads and schools is a legitimate [federal] government function."  James Madison's 1817 veto of a public works bill contains the answer.

I love ya, Rush, but if you are going to talk about the Constitution, get it right.
