Obama: A Constitutional Law Professor Without A Position on the Constitution

For ten years Sen. Barack Obama made a portion of his income as an instructor, he says professor, of constitutional law at university level.

In tonight's debate, the professor was unable to state his position on the most significant constitutional issue to reach the Supreme Court in the past 20 years.

Leaving aside the merits of Heller v. District of Columbia, which will be the first SCOTUS interpretation of the 2nd Amendment Supreme Court in 70 years, Sen. Obama's inability to have any position is troubling.

Under fairly intense questioning, he said that he hadn't read anything on the case and has no opinion as to its outcome.

Of course, he had similar difficult with positions on a number of issues.
