The Ukrainian president said that now "is a time for battle" and that holding presidential elections in such circumstances was not appropriate.

    Not really criticizing him. My criticism is the weird constitution worship used as non-argument that simply begs the question.

        The people are the foundation of a country. Religious documents are just excuses.

            They aren’t. But people treat them like they are. I do care about people using constitutions as if they were moral documents. I’d be just as annoyed if someone used a constitution to defend something like freedom of press or freedom of speech. I don’t care about what the particular issue is: its the citing constitutions like they prescribes perfect morals that I care about.
