Quote of the Day: George Will on Leftist Views of the Constitution

I meant to do this yesterday, what with the "health care summit" 6-hour-long posefest and photo op, but I forgot. Here it is now:

Ha! Of course, anything is "unconstitutional" if it keeps the big-government crowd from getting its way!

The Constitution is strictly a limited-government sort of charter. The Founders knew what overweening government power looked and acted like (remember, theirs was an age of monarchs), and they didn't want or trust it.
