“If Governor Christie believes the constitutional rights and the privacy of all Americans is ‘esoteric,’ he either needs a new dictionary, or he needs to talk to more Americans, because a great number of them are concerned about the dramatic overreach of our government in recent years."Christie's real problem will come when he's forced to debate a candidate who is ready to fight for the letter of constitutional law. Whether that person is Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, or someone else, they'll absolutely destroy Christie if he's going to keep making these types of comments. We're talking about the 4th Amendment here. This is the Bill of Rights, not some wacky, left-field, hypothetical Libertarian cause. Perhaps Christie is too busy sucking up to Obama to notice, but the country has moved well beyond the point where the concept of individual liberty is an "esoteric" argument. People are deeply concerned about a government that is widely seen as trampling their most basic freedoms. Since Christie is incapable of understanding that simple argument, it's time to toss him on the party scrap heap.
