Chuck Todd thought he had caught Roy Moore in a hot mic moment and sought to expose his ignorance of the Constitution. The MSNBC anchor shared the following soundbite, in which Moore, fresh off of his win in the Alabama Senate primary, told a reporter that "rights don't come from government, they don't come from the Bill of Rights, they come from God."
Todd interpreted that as proof Moore was not properly briefed on the Constitution.
Chuck Todd made a buffoon of himself yet again.

What a maroon.
Whether you believe in God as the source of inalienable rights or not, I think you have to acknowledge that the Constitution was written in light of that belief and to be properly understood, it must be understood in that context. Otherwise it just makes no sense. Maybe that is why the Left has such trouble with it?

I am not very religious. You don't have to believe in God to believe that we have Natural Rights as human beings. Nobody gives them to us, they exist due to our condition. The Constitution only guarantees government won't infringe upon them.

Totally agree. I should have said that if you deny Natural Rights, regardless of the source, then the Constitution cannot be understood in context.

The left has always hated the Constitution because it protects rights instead of granting them. Notice how over the years though they continually make up rights to things like health care. They've got their nose under the tent through these efforts.

I do not like Roy Moore.
But Chuck Todd is surely confused about the Constitution. Poor bastard.
