Poor Barack Obama. He keeps stumbling over his stellar intellect:

“Of the many responsibilities granted to a president by our Constitution, few are more serious or more consequential than selecting a Supreme Court justice. The members of our highest court are granted life tenure, often serving long after the presidents who appointed them. And they are charged with the vital task of applying principles put to paper more than 20 centuries ago to some of the most difficult questions of our time.”

Just for the record, he’s talking about the U.S. Constitution, which was written 21 decades ago.
