You may not have heard about then-state senator and Law Lecturer Barack Obama's 2001 NPR interview/forum participation (note: he wasn't 8 years old when expressing this opinion) expressing socialist sympathies. Here it is:
Gee, with a president Obama, maybe we'll have a Supreme Court that can "break free from the essential restraints of the Founding Fathers." Now that's something to look forward to.
Dang; where has this interview been hiding?
Incidentally, here is a link to the full radio interview. I listened to the entire program . . . heard Obama's comments in context. I don't think that the full context affects the conclusion that Obama thinks it is a "traged[y]" and a "failure[]" of the Civil Rights movement not to have accomplished redistributive ends through the courts.
Aside: I like how--at the 49 min mark, the interview raises the issue of Obama's support for tax-payer funding of abortion (here). ;)

Yes, maybe we can get a Supreme Court that just transcends the Constitution altogether. One that looks to the European Illuminati for enlightenment, perhaps. Sheesh! Obama's scary.
