Hillary’s Latest Constitutional Gaffe

posted on February 26, 2016

When Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton once again took an interview opportunity to bash the Second Amendment on Wednesday, she further showed her lack of knowledge about the Constitution.

As most A1F Daily readers already know, “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” is, in fact, not a constitutional right, but a phrase from the Declaration of Independence. “Heckuva gaffe to have in the middle of an intensifying debate over the Supreme Court,” Republican National Committee spokesman James Hewitt said in a statement.
