Former Reagan Attorney General Edwin Meese said today America is experiencing a more pronounced erosion of freedom than he has seen in his lifetime, and that erosion is being hastened by President Barack Obama’s disregard for the Constitution.

Obama ignored the Constitution with his 2012 recess appointments, trashed the Constitution by waiving work requirements for welfare, and shredded the Constitution when he granted amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States, Meese said at a “first principles” panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
