Guest on The View Brands Our Constitution “Trash”

CLAY: Not content with putting out the consistently dumbest programming in all of television featuring among the dumbest cast of characters in television history, The View had a guest on, Elie Mystal, who said: You know what? We need to go ahead and do away with the entire Constitution. (summarized)

This is left-wing garbage lunacy. But I’m telling you there are lots of people who believe this. Listen.

BUCK: “Kind of trash”, Clay. This guy is a correspondent for law and justice issues at The Nation, which is a kind of trash.

CLAY: A kind of trash, ironically enough.

BUCK: We did not plan that, but yes. That is true. It is a garbage website with garbage thinking and writing. But I think it’s interesting that finally… A lot of people on the left actually do believe this, and what’s fascinating is that you’d have to wonder, where is the line drawn here? What brilliance from our past that stretches back…?

If you were to separate the last 10 years from all of human history, think of all the great advancements, the great literature, scientific discovery, creation of nation states, whatever, that involve people that were insufficiently friendly to the trans agenda. So I suppose that all of it —

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: — all of it must be discounted and Shakespeare was not trans friendly enough; therefore, all of his writing is trash. That’s the near theory the left has.

CLAY: Oh, there’s no doubt, and it’s almost to the point now where if you believe Western civilization is a good thing, you’re not even allowed to utter it out loud, certainly if you work at a campus, if you’re a professor. But look, this is one of the fringe arguments that is out there in the legal community. And for people who went to law school, there is, you know, sort of a constitutional theory course that you might have at some point where radical anti-American history zealots will say:

“We need to destroy the entire existence of the Constitution because it was written by people who allowed slavery to exist, and the original sin of American life requires that there be no founding documents that we can rely upon,” and there are people… This guy’s opinion is not exactly rare. There are a lot of people who agree with him.

BUCK: Yeah. It’s almost like there are a lot of people on the left who kind of hate a lot about America.
