Fundamental Disagreement

Obama on the warren court:

“It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.”

This is what a fundamental dissagreement with me sounds like. I do give Obama props for use of the phrase “break free”. I need to mix the audio with some Wilson Philips.
