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, aTexas studenttestifying 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 writtentestimony, 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.” This was very concerning to me and other students. They were also making Qurans available that include a “Shahada Card” on the last page instructing students how to convert: “To become a Muslim, one needs to make the following declaration: ‘I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.’”This occurred openly during lunch, with administrators present who did nothing to intervene.
BothSharia law and Muslim separatismin the Dallas-Forth Worth area have been major issues over the past few years, which is a problem when considering that many of these individuals think theirbeliefs are thoroughly incompatiblewith American values.
But, of course, Raskin saw no problem at all, trying to turn his questioning of a 16-year-old relaying his experiences in our public schools into a dazzling display of his knowledge of our founding documents, saying that “the Constitution of the United States does not establish a religion and forbids establishing a religion” in the middle of one of Hunter-Lopez’s remarks.
