An issue bigger than the Constitution

By way of Reason.com (whose Hit & Run blog is a must read for anyone concerned with liberty) I present you this quote from an elected politician:
"I certainly respect the Constitution, but we have some issues that are much bigger than the Constitution."
The "issues that are much bigger than the Constitution" you ask?
(A) plan Tuesday that would (make) it unlawful for people to wear pants below the waistline exposing their underwear.
Ah yes...it is probably worth overturning some Constitutional rights in order to prevent that. Almost makes me proud of my Illinois politicians.
