Time: ‘Does the Constitution Still Matter?’
**Written by Doug Powers
In the past several months, Time Magazine Editor Richard Stengel has answered and asked the same question, in that order.
From the Daily Caller:
On Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Time magazine editor Richard Stengel presented the cover of his new July 4 issue, which features the U.S. Constitution going through a paper shredder and asks does the document still matter. According to Stengel, it does, but not as much anymore.
“Yes, of course it still matters but in some ways it matters less than people think,” Stengel said on “Morning Joe.” “People all the time are debating what’s constitutional and what’s unconstitutional. To me the Constitution is a guardrail. It’s for when we are going off the road and it gets us back on. It’s not a traffic cop that keeps us going down the center. And what our politics are about – politics are about conflict…”
Stengel also claimed the Constitution doesn’t limit the federal government:
“If the Constitution was intended to limit the federal government, it sure doesn’t say so…The truth is, the Constitution massively strengthened the central government of the U.S. for the simple reason that it established one where none had existed before.”
The real answer to the question “does the Constitution still matter” is an unqualified “yes.” But don’t take my word for it. Here’s part of a conversation between Stengel and Howard Kurtz from December of 2010 concerning Time’s publication of Wikileaks documents:
KURTZ: But Rick, you say right here in your editor’s note in “TIME” magazine that these documents released by WikiLeaks “harm national security,” and that Assange meant to do so.
STENGEL: Right. I know. But there’s no way around that.
I mean, I believe that’s Assange’s intention. I believe on balance that they have been detrimental to the U.S. But our job is not to protect the U.S. in that sense. I mean, the First Amendment protects us in terms of releasing this information which does enlighten people about the way the U.S. conducts foreign policy.
If the Constitution did not limit the size and power of government the First Amendment would be moot. Would Stengel be satisfied if the federal government had claimed it had a right to edit parts of his Wikileaks story on the grounds that “the First Amendment matters, but not as much anymore”?
Of course the Constitution matters. Implying that it matters less in every area of life other than journalism is an ultimately self-defeating position, as the “free press” may someday discover thanks to “living Constitution” advocates.
It’s a bad idea to consider the Constitution to be a “guard rail” and then give the government the size and power to move it wherever they like (and probably subsequently brag about how many jobs it saved or created).

Your best “got ya” yet. When they screw the pooch that obviously they need to be held up to the light – and you did!
Constitution for me, not for thee!

Time Magazine’s time has about run out. It may sell for $1 Buck like (liberal) “News” Week did a year ago.
***
And our Constitution doesn’t mean anything in the minds of most of our political “betters” in the Washington D.C. swamp. Just dead letters on an ancient historical document. Which just constrains their liberal / socialist / statist / marxist / communist takeover of the U.S.A. At the expense of our freedom, liberty, and economic health.
***
The Founding Founders were a brilliant bunch of people. And they were the Patriots who gave us our wonderful country. Vote for a real Constitutional Conservative in Nov. 2012–I see 3 of them in the fray now.

Strengel says the Constitution doesn’t matter that much anymore but “FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF PRESS!!!!!” is the 1st thing a journalist screams when someone questions their reporting.
Just wondering… can anybody read this? Hello… is this mic on?
No, the question is – “Does Time magazine matter?”
i wonder if richard was sitting next to barry, while barry was in wright’s church. barry didn’t hear anything, and richard didn’t see anything. i wish richard would read the document, before shreading it. it has more limits on the federal government, and lass restrictions on individuals and states.
less, sorry
No, the question is – “Does Time magazine matter?”
Does Time magazine matter and do the 10′s of 10′s that read this tripe Magazine matter as well.
It sure appears bho and team doesn’t think the constitution matters at all. They just go around the congress and courts to do their dirty work.
I believe in the constitution and our Republic. I just pray we can withstand our cratering that has happened since the election of bho. It still continues daily by bho and team. God bless American.
L
Who was it that declared “God is dead?”??
Not sure if it was Time or not… but, we do know who’s credibilty is dead.
I often wonder what John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, etc. would think if they were with us today.
My guess is that they would elicit primal screams and run back to their graves.
Does the Constitution matter anymore?
It should.
Does the Fourth Estate matter anymore?
Apparently not – they forgot their responsibilities in protecting this Republic.
A very shameful lot.
OK, was Time, but the actual title was “Is God Dead?”
FIFY
One thing is absolutely certain . . . “Time” doesn’t matter.
Seriously, this piece in Time Magazine is either utter bullsh-t, or he is literally incapable of reading and understanding the words of the Constitution and other related laws. I was so stunned to read this drivel in Time Magazine that I then looked up who the hell Richard Stengel is, and apparently he is their Managing Editor! And by the time you are done reading this post you will be stunned with the cluelessness on display.
So strap yourself in, we’re going to have an old fashioned fisking. And it’s a long one, because this piece is one of the most clueless pieces I have ever read on the Constitution or the law generally.

Whaaaaat? Here’s a better question . . .
Does TIME still matter?
Let’s see a show of hands. I’m waiting. C’mon guys, anybody. Alright. Alright. I take it as a NO. They should, too.
“Stengel also claimed the Constitution doesn’t limit the federal government”
Unless I am wrong, the federal government is explicitly limited, although they haven’t been paying attention to it, as in Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution, enumerated powers …
Does the Constitution Still Matter?
If you want to voluntarily enslave yourself and submit to tyranny, then no, the Constitution does not matter at all.
Makes me wanna break out in song…. “If I could keep time in a bottle…”
Remember, remember, come 2012 November
The festering heat they have brought
‘Tis no reason why their assault on Americans and their Constitution
Should ever be forgiven, or forgot
All you tyrants who would lord over us
You who would give us the smack of your rod
Soon now we will rend you to bits
We will give you the Judgment of God!
If each real American man and woman does what they must
The overreaching tyrants will be turned into dust
Soon now our Lady of Justice will possess them in her breathtaking, hair raising bed
She will tingle each spine as she captures each head!
They will gaze up at our Lady of Justice
With her shimmering, glimmering blade
As she kisses these tyrants
She will sing them a last serenade

None existed before?? What about the Articles of Confederation??
It is true that the Constitution strengthened the federal government, but how can he say that the Consitiution does not limit the federal government?
He must have gotten bored when reading the Bill of Rights before he got to the 10th Amendment.
Dear Mr. Stengel,
Our country is in the mess it is in today, because the Constitution did not matter to people like you.
Apparently, given the Obama’s end runs around the will of the Congress, the Rule of Law does not seem to matter to you either.
Welcome to Zymbabwaie.

April 1977-”How to Survive the Coming Ice Age-51 Things You Can Do to Make a Difference”
April 2008-”How to Win the War on Global Warming”
CO2 to blame for both. Enough said about that rag.
Stengel probably feels proud that Hugo Chavez endorses the idea of trashing our Constitution. Circulation? We do not need no stinking circulation.
Dick, you magnificently ignorant slut!
When anyone asks that question, it is obvious they never cracked open a Bible. The question is answered in the very first verse. Gen 1:1.
If the Bible is believed to be true, then per that verse, God created the time-space continuum. By default, God would be outside of his creation and not subject to time and human concepts.
TIME magazine doesn’t understand God and time.
What they did is akin to the character in a book declaring the author doesn’t exist.
So them asking if the Constitution matters is at the same grade-school level of logic.
Actually, their logic is closer to that of a toddler playing peek-a-boo.

This guy doesn’t seem to read.
Ahhh….
Bitter comments…..
Here’s a suggestion: go outside and enjoy the sun, hold a young child and tell them they are beautiful, call a loved one and laugh with them.
This government is big by your standards, but it’s also built the greatest country ever; paved roads, clean water, the ability to become rich…
You folks should travel, see the governments in other countries: Syria, North Korea, Dubai….
I bet, no, I guarantee, you would come back and pay your taxes and be proud that you have a government that values a clean environment, free speech, no draft….. and on and on…..
If dictator Obama’s approval numbers are low enough, a manufactured ‘crisis’ will emerge around the end of October 2012 and give him the excuse he desperately needs to postpone the national election until he gets around to fixing it.
Slime Magazine, the Constitution is NOT a tool you can pull off the shelf and use at your convenience, like when the Government tries to stop you from printing classified data, then put back on the shelf.
Either you follow it all of the time, or none of the time.

Iluvmyfoolishnish means to say “see where we are going”. She is just long winded.
You are absolutely right. Of course your statements are possible because a segment of the population is vigilant in defense of that same Constitution of which Stengel is so blisteringly ignorant.
If Time Magazine had any cojones whatsoever they’d post Worthing’s counter to their Managing Editor’s dreadfully ignorant column on the Constitution, but it’s understandable that they don’t because Worthing’s takedown makes it crystal clear that, in the future, Stengel ought to confine his superficial, half-baked legal theories to the DC/NYC/Beltway cocktail circuit, where unquestioning self-important liberals and “respectable Republicans” who are standing around listening him can mindlessly nod in awestruck approval — because, as so often demonstrated on the pages of mainstream media publications like the New York Times, they don’t know any better, either.
To me, yes. To Either Party, no. Just look at the abuses in recent years:
Un Declared Wars
Patriot Act
Bye Bye to the 4th Amendment
Prescription Drug Bill
Obama Care
TARP
and on and on. Article 1 Section 8 give ALL the authority Congress has, except for what is in the amendments.
You can’t find Bank Bail outs, Medicare, Social Security, etc.
But really, combined with the School System that “taught” us, it’s our fault. We all voted for people who have no desire to take their Oath Seriously. Will we change? Most will not. American’s care more about which Jersey wins, either the “R” or “D” Jersey, than voting for Constitutionalists.
No… really you should. A one way ticket should suffice.
If your mother (God bless her poor soul) will let you leave the basement.
I guess the “Congress shall pass no law” doesn’t limit the government at all…
We DO enjoy the Government that our Constitution gave us.
Not anymore. Obummer said himself that he believes “at a certain I believe you’ve made enough money.”
The very socialist Governments that Obummer supports. And into which he wants to turn us.
I don’t mind paying taxes to support the military, FBI, Border Patrol, police, etc. I do mind paying taxes to support professional couch potatos, socialized medicine, foreign aid to countries that hate us, art that offends my Faith, etc.
What free speech? Recently Christians were arrested passing out tracts at a muslim event in Detroit. Obummer wants to shut down Conservative talk radio via “fairness doctrine” and “localism”. He also wants to shut down blogs like this one via “net neutrality”.
Of course the constitution doesn’t matter. We are all socialists now!
I hope author and historian Thomas E Woods writes a rebuttal.
He makes everybody else look like amatuers when it comes to knowing what the founders meant, because he knows how to actually back up his assertions with evidence from the source.
He’s really snarky – I love that!
A match book from Bob Beckel’s favorite strip club is probably thicker and more relavant than Time. Honestly this is nothing but a shock story to get you to buy this drivel. Best thing to do is ignore this and send Time further down the sewer of liberal media sludge.
I wonder if the feces-spewing Stengel has the testicular fortitude to question whether or not the Koran still matters…. somehow, I doubt that he does.
One of the Gipper’s greatest lines…
“When your neighbor loses their job, it’s a recession; when you lose your job, it’s a depression; when Jimmy Carter loses his job, it’s a recovery”
Let’s hope that Obama loses his job in ’12 and Time is but another memory of a liberal rag of a publication.
Conservatives do that every day.
That’s a typical liberal point of view. The government is not responsible for any of those things.
I already pay taxes, work for a living, value a clean environment, free speech and served in the military. You should be preaching to the other liberals/moochers who don’t work, complain about rich people, suck from the teat of the taxpayer and on and on…
I have seen other countries governments (probably far more than you) and have never ever said that I do not believe we have the best government in the world. But having the best government in the world has only been made possible by our Constitution, so excuse me when myself and others take to task a putz that wants to take a big crap on it!
As for taxes, we don’t mind paying taxes when the money is used wisely for the neccesities such as roads and safety (i.e. police and military). What we do oppose is when our money (because that is what taxes are)is spent on abortion on demand, payouts to favored pet projects, and redistribution.
So tell me, do you like knowing that $2.6 million of your taxes were used to pay for a program to help tech Chinesese prostitutes in China how to drink responsibly on the job? What about $146 million in your tax dollars being spent on business class upgrades for Fedral employees?
Great site btw to see this and other crazy ways the government wastes our money.
Please don’t assume you’re the only person here who has ever traveled outside the boundaries of the United States.
In every example you gave of unsuccessful countries, you gave an example of a power authoritarian central government.
Idiot.
I did’nt stop studying history in 8th grade, either.
You forgot to mention rail, which was built with private money, and is still the least expensive method to transport goods. Or that the highway system was originally built because the auto industry lobbied long and hard for it, because they didn’t want to build it themselves but nobody would buy their cars if there weren’t roads.
Local government supply clean water, not the federal government.
The ability to get rich should definitely not come from government, but as you yourself like to point out, it now does. That’s a direct result of the central planning system that you and yours are so adamant is necessary to tour very survival.
Insurance goes way back before the Founding Fathers. Lloyd’s of London was founded in 1688. Healthcare as we think of it dates back to the Crusades.
And… we use leeches, today.

What Happened to the Constitution is the title.
I am normally civil on this site, but for you ILMC, I will make an exception. You are as stupid as a box of rocks.
The roads with the exception of the federal highways and Interstates were palned by counties and states. Commerece was the driving force that linked them.
Clean water? My water is clean because of a local water treatment plant.
How competent is the Federal Government. Oh $14 tillion in debt is an indicator. Or maybe ILMC, this one. A couple with 5 children in 2012 will be FORCED to fill their home with CFL light bulbs. These will be in the presence of their children.
If the father took 3 or so of those light bulbs and walked into his Congressmans office walked up to the COngressman and three the bulbs down at his feet, breaking them, the father could be charged with assaulting a Federal offical with a deadly weapon, because the hazaradous material in the light bulb.

Pretty Darn Good.
This unfortunately is why we are doomed to experience history all over again. We fought a revolution from oppressive rule with no concern for our way of life in 1776. We established a rule of law, found it flawed, reestablished the constitution. It too was flawed, as it wouldn’t let states opt out once in, so we fought another war with an oppressive ruler with no concern for the people’s way of life in 1861. DEJA VU all over again. Our all powerful central government want to dictate what you eat, where you live, how much money you can earn, and how you get health care services. It sounds oppressive to me.
Nice slap down and accurate, served in South Korea (ROK) for a year… the North was feeble then (The Gubermint and the military eat… the rest just work or/and die.)
This is how socialism/communism always ends. It really peeves me that we seem to be following that path too.
and watch the country literally grind to a halt the next day when we (the people who really work) all go on strike. Many of the major companies have already ‘gone on strike’ by not hiring and stockpiling cash due to his anti-company policies. Watch us do the same.
The vision and mission statements of the United States of America don’t matter any more? What a contemptible thing to even suggest even in spite of the illicit gains and bravado of the Left in recent years.
I think that the millions of American men and women who fought, died, and were wounded for this country (not to mention their families) would give Stengel and the other minions of Marxian darkness an object lesson in liberty and American exceptionalism.
You betcha!
I wonder, does this [insert your own name calling here] use this excuse when he gets caught breaking any other law? “Yes officer, I killed that person and driving drunk, but the law doesn’t really matter. It’s just kind of a guideline, and not something we actually have to obey.”
Urp… Hack… Uh Oh… ::: sounds of vomiting :::
There needs to be a bold and widespread public condemnation of this disgusting promotion of anti-American globalism and its sister, communist statism. It must be called out and vilified at every opportunity.
A question that would only be posed by a socialist-leaning globalist.
The U.S. Constitution matters to me, and I’m sure it does to all honest American Patriots!
I can see where they are trying to lead this. If it does NOT matter anymore, then out the window goes oaths of honor that public officials, and our military swear, to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, both foreign and DOMESTIC.”
Getting rid of that “old, outdated document” opens the door to the evil mob of socialists, and globalists that would dissolve this country, eliminate her government, and turn it over to one controlling entity…headed, of course, by George Soros, or one of his eunichs.
I say, the New York Times, Time Magazine, Newsweek Magazine, MS-NBC, and a plethora of pseudo-journalist trogladites, and anarchy inducing pea-brains no longer matter. What they spew is directed by statist ideologues, bent on power, domination, and the accumulation of the World’s wealth and resources, whose allegiance is soley to themselves, not to a nation of free men.
Would that I had “Carte Blanche” and the resources to operate, together with groups of like-minded lovers of freedom, the problem would be taken care of, post haste!
Alas, that will never happen, because we have become a nation of talkers, not doers…talking has achieved nothing but apathy from former patriotic citizens.
No offense, but you are wrong. They did make the Constitution not as a “Forever and Ever” document. It is subject to change via a very well known process.
What you are saying is, in my opinion, God erred by giving Man the freedom of choice. BTW, States can opt out… at least some. Texas and the US had an explict understanding from the beginning. Perhaps the rest are screwed, but don’t we b!tch about how illeagle aliens ought to fight to change their counties instead of running to us?
Can we expect less of ourselves?
I think a more appropriate question would be” Does “Time” matter any more?
Why do I get the feeling that battle lines are being drawn?
I was stationed at Camp Greaves South Korea (ROK) (just north of the river across Freedom Bridge) for a year. I spent 3 years in Germany, 1 year in Baghdad (Sadr City in 2004) and have spent 2 years contracting in Iraq (from 2007 till 2009) traveling back and forth through Dubai every 4 months on my way home for vacation.
In my world, 10 – 4. Affirmitive.
At that Unicorn Ranch, where the patrons are hoarding candy canes while day cruising on the endless rainbow slide, they can care less.
Perhaps Time magazine can move their HQ to that fantasy ranch and have exclusive readership within the commune.
Actually, this is the second article I’ve seen this week that questions the Constitution. Fareed Zakaria had an article suggesting we replace ours as Iceland did.
Yes. Both.
Hey Ma, got any Unguintine, I’m getting a blister again?!

It’s clear that Obama understands what the Constitution says, and that one of the things he would like to CHANGE is the Constitution itself.

Constitution: “Does Time magazine still matter?”
Just when you think Lib’s can’t get any more psychotic.
“For us ‘journalists’, oh yes, the Constitution is an iron shield. But for enabling those evil greedy Republicans from repealing ‘meaningful nationwide health care’; mmmmm, not so much.”
Probably his best work yet… I think I only counted 5 “I”‘s in it… very unlike his recent accomplishments.
Wow I need to learn to count better!! I’m counting like a Dem on a Repubs ballots on election day. Unlike a Dem I will admit my error, my bad.
Who even reads Time? Why is it that those who know the least about the Constitution continue to think they know what it says? The Constitution matters when a phrase lifted out of context supports a liberal view, while the rest of the Constitution is for lining bird cages. Our elected officials have decided that they are all above the constraints of the Constitution. FIRE THEM ALL!
Obama and Van Jones and Valerie Jarret and David Axelrod and Rahm Emanual are so much smarter than the founding fathers. That document is outdated and needs to be rewritten to accomodate the current times. Things are way different now than they were back in the 1700′s.
We need to get our smart intelligent elites to write a new one that is much more modern and reflects the modern times we live in.
Of course, we also need to make sure that no Republicans are involved in the re-write. They want to kill children and old people and discrimanate against minorities and poor people that try to come to this country to support their children. Liberal Democrats are the only ones that understand the times we live in and the shared responsibility we all have to take care of the poor and the children. Did I mention the poor children?
We could probably blend the coolest parts of the constitutions of France, England, Canada, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and China to come up with the greatest constitution ever.
What a boon to mankind that would be. Stop all the slobbering over those Christian white men from centuries ago. Their time is done. Just look what they have done to our country. We need change and hope for America. Its time for some Chicago style politics. Get with the Times!
/sarc off. Like child phsycology, say the opposite of the truth and maybe the kiddies in Washington will do the opposite of what we say. Thats what they have been doing. We say right, they go left.
I’m sure Stengel thought himself clever when he stumbled upon the Guardrail Analogy.
It is not. Dude, if you’re even flirting w/ the g-rail ( you’ve had way too much to drink! ) Or I don’t know?
Maybe it’s perfectly fine with your wife and you needn’t even explain the creases in the doors. I’m thinking Mrs. Will would have something to say about that?
Exactly Mr Will. The guardrail was not put in to be hit. It was put in for the case of extreme stupidity or really bad luck.
Obama exhibits both and apparently so does Stengel.
Odd, do I have a missing post? Hmmm….
T-Bone,
As Mr. Powers notes:
As is the case w/ most of Michelle’s posters ( it’s uh… been awhile since I took Driver’s Ed. ) but I don’t recall the section on: Guardrails, Daily Use and your Ticket Home from School SAFELY!
Or maybe he was just texting/sexting at the time? She will understand… she knew what she married. (In Weiner’s case look at who officiated the, um, proceedings.) What more could she expect?

NOPE!
Stengel needs to add some road signs.
“Bumpy Road Ahead”
“Merge Left”
“Liberal Crossing”
“Slick Willie When Wet”
“Yield to Alynskyites”
“Detour To Left”
“Speed Limit-May be Ignored by Undocumented People”
“Constitution Construction Ahead”
Sometimes you know so much I fear for you sometimes… hope ya have a good home protection plan.
I admire ya, keep making yourself heard! Just don’t make yourself a martyr. Like the late and great General Patton said “You don’t win the war by dying for your country, but by making them die for theirs” (Paraphrased)

100 years of progressive ideas ignoring the constitutional limits are what needs destroying and not the Constitution. Every oath swearing traitor to this country needs to go.

Thanks for all of those reactionary comments – I think I gave all of you too much credit.
I guess people who support Michelle Bauchman aren’t the brightest political thinkers.
