“We were blessed to raise our three sons in a nation where they were free to be themselves and follow their dreams.”
Those eloquent words came from the lips of Khizr Khan, the Pakistani immigrant who spoke at the Democratic National Convention last week about losing his son, Capt. Humayun Khan, to a suicide bomber in Iraq.
Describing his family “as patriotic American Muslims with undivided loyalty to our country,” and charging that, “Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims.” Khan asked Donald J. Trump a great question: “Have you even read the U.S. Constitution?”
Then, reaching into his suit pocket, Khan pulled out a copy, adding, “I will gladly lend you my copy.”
Yesterday at Townhall, I declared Khan my Person of the Week. Not just because Mr. Khan is fond of handing out pocket-sized copies of the U.S. Constitution and told the New York Times that his “real hero” is Thomas Jefferson, but because he asked a great question.
Let’s ask all the candidates. That question, for sure, and three additional ones:
- Do you favor repealing parts of the First Amendment to allow incumbent congressmen to regulate their own campaigns and their opponents’ in regard to raising and spending money?
- In the Heller case, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment provides individuals a “right to bear arms” — will you appoint justices who agree or disagree with Heller?
- As president, will you issue an executive order instructing all federal agencies and police agents to cease any use of civil asset forfeiture?
I’ve got more questions. I bet you do, too.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

Seriously Paul? I am sure Hillary Rodham Clinton has coffee every day as she reads her little pocketbook of the Constitution.
Though he asked good questions, the Venue sucked!
Who would have expected a member of the Muslim brotherhood To be running around with the US constitution in his pocket? He’s either a fool or a plant or both.
I’m a great fan of handing out copies of our constitution, too but here in the actual world as distinct from the “Democratic” potty’s party: it’s too bad he didn’t whip a few copies around the mass-murdering moslem murrahfurrahs who blew up his son.
The kid’s killers were other moslems, case we also forget — none of them named Trump!
Nice and clever heading, Paul. The Constitution is a petard on which Trump and all the other candidates – including the Libertarians, I’m afraid – are hoistable.
[btw, a side benefit from Khizr’s entry into the fray is that increasing numbers of sane, independent consciousnesses realize that Islam and Muslims have been victims of the most vicious false-flag attacks and propaganda… from the globalist mob (Glob).]
