If so where does his absolute authority come from?

Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) makes what is perhaps the most alarming statement in this video. In discussing the Bill of Rights, Amendments I, II and IV in particular, Durbin says,  “None of these rights are absolute, none of them.”

So is that an absolute statement?

Well said Greg!  Everything proceeds from our moral state.  If we're depraved, well, see:  Obama, Ayers, Wright, etc.  If not:  Allen West, Sarah Palin, etc. 

And the last two don't even get support from 'Republicans'!

God given rights are frequently misinterpreted as man-made privileges. What you believe will dictate how you respond to the attacks upon the constitution.

In typical Leftist fashion Diane fails to answer the question that Cruz posed. Leahy is an idiot. Feinstein and Pelosi both share the view that the Congress isn't required to consult the Constitution before writing law. Durbin shares equal idiocy status with Leahy.

Well of COURSE Sen. Turban (as Michael Savage calls him) thinks 'none of our rights are absolute'.  I mean, what else would he think?

This clown doesn't believe in absolute truth; absolute God; absolute ANYTHING.  Except, perhaps, in absolute political correctness and, oh yes, let's not forget, the absolute WONDERFULNESS OF ISLAM.

As for Feinstein:  She's some piece of work.  I mean she actually found out how important the 2d was, and stated so publicly.   Notwithstanding that, she's now determined to gainsay herself.

History will show that the greatest benefit to the Tea Party movement is that it awoke the nation and re-educated millions of Americans on the founding of the country.   Time will tell whether or not this results in election defeats for Democrats / Liberals / Moderates.
