Campbellsville University has Salamanca speak at KHIPP event Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Kasey Ricketts CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY- The United States Constitution is one of the shortest documents, and that is why Dr. Paul E. Salamanca, Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky, believes it works so well. Salamanca spoke at Campbellsville University's Kentucky Heartland Institute on Public Policy (KHIPP) "Constitution Day" Tuesday, September 17, 2013, in the Banquet Hall of the *Badgett Academic Support Center. Salamanca believes the Constitution is a textual work that makes it so powerful. "Americans like to be able to read things. They have the mindset of, 'I can read, let me read it, now I understand,'" Salamanca said to about 50 faculty, staff, students and community people at the session. Many of today's political topics came up doing the discussion with the audience such as: Obama Care, Syria, gay rights and general welfare. A student questioned how the president is supposed to please the people but also hold up the Constitution. Salamanca said, "The president took an oath to uphold the Constitution. He is there to annoy the people. But a good president will find a way to do both. At the end of the day, his duty is to do his job though." When asked by a student in the audience if Salamanca thought the United States should take a clean piece of paper and rewrite the whole Constitution and if that is done would it change a lot. Salamanca said he believed the Constitution "would be very close to the same as it is now. We'd get it right again." When asked about the possibility of including any new amendments, Salamanca, who was law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Judge David Souter, said he did not think any would be added. Salamanca said, "We, as a political culture, have certain habits in the way we constitute ourselves, habits that we can cultivate and attend to, or habits that we can let fall into atrophy." The CU Student Government Association celebrated Constitution Day by having students go by the E. Bruce Heilman Student Complex and sign a "Constitution." - Kasey Ricketts, Campbellsville University Dr. Salamanca is Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky. *The Banquet Hall, Badgett Academic Support Center, 110 University Drive, Campbellsville, KY is on the main campus of Campbellsville University.
