What is a "Constitution"?

It seems that is the question our judges need to be asking. Apparently they have no idea what it means or even says. Here in Colorado the Supreme Court installed a judge to one of the higher courts even tho our Govenor refused to do it stating there must be more than the two choices for it. Appointing judges is one of the Constitutional duties of the Govenor, one the the courts have no power over.

In another case, U.S. District Judge Clarence Cooper ruled that the Alabama county that required a sticker on their science books violated the constitution. The stickers say "This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered." Somehow this violates the non-existant "separation of church and state."


Perhaps judges and lawyers can be required to take a class on the Constitution, and be required to actually {GASP} read it.
