"Like I said, if people want to change the Constitution, then amend it to fit the modern age. Until then, people who swear to uphold and defend it can't claim they are "unduly" bound by its provisions"

Are you an originalist when it comes to SCOTUS matters? You must be for Alito then. I think your above quote sounds suspiciously like something Scalia wrote. (g)

...people who swear to uphold and defend it can't claim they are "unduly" bound by its provisions.

Does this mean that you disagree with the US Supreme Court decision in Kelo v City of New London, saying that it is okay to take privately owned property for "private use"?

The point of this question is to determine whether you believe that both the President of the US and the Supreme Court are bound by the US Constitution since they both have sworn to uphold it.
