Kerry does not understand relationship between Constitution and law

[2ndAmendment]

One of the most telling things I heard Sen. Kerry say was that he would appoint a Supreme Court judge that would interpret the Constitution according to the law. *ABSOLUTELY WRONG*! Laws are to be judged by the Constitution. The Constitution is not to be judged by the law. All right of the Federal government to make law derives *FROM* the Constitution.

Edited to put in quote and additional comments.

Sen. Kerry: The future of things that matter to you -- in terms of civil rights, what kind of Justice Department you'll have, whether we'll enforce the law. Will we have equal opportunity? Will women's rights be protected? Will we have equal pay for women, which is going backwards? Will a woman's right to choose be protected?

These are constitutional rights, and I want to make sure we have judges who interpret the Constitution of the United States according to the law.

There are no rights granted in the Constitution on the basis of gender or for pay for men or women and there is no "right to choose" for women.
