He is right when he says they are not welcome in NY. Perhaps we should make a poll, determine who all the extremists in the world are, and put them all in Antarctica. The world would be a much better place for all the sensible people.
Great, you nailed it, what I think is important here. What is extreme, and who decides? It's pretty clear already that some people straight up believe the Constitution is extreme, and anyone who believes in it is an extremist.
People don't believe that the Constitution is extreme. People believe that anyone in 2014 who insists in adhering to the 1780s' interpretation of every part of a legal document is an extremist.
