In the interview, Obama said, “The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society.†The Constitution says only what “the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you,†and Obama added that the Warren Court wasn’t that radical.
“The real tragedy of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused that I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change,†Obama said.
Boy....how's about all that money us airline employees stowed away in the 401K?
