50. He did and does use the bully pulpit to stand up for civil liberties...

which, in turn, gets dismissed or mocked by far too many progressives, imo.

You can find his view of civil liberties in many of his speeches whether they be about minimum wage and overtime protections for In-Home Care Workers or whether he is speaking at the at the 2011 Tribal Nations Conference or in a Presidential Proclamation declaring September 17 as Constitution Day, Citizenship Day, Constitution Week.

He has spoken often about his belief in the Constitution, here is one example:

"Each year, thousands of candidates for citizenship commemorate Constitution Day and Citizenship Day by becoming new American citizens. These individuals breathe life into our Constitution by learning about its significance and the rights it enshrines, and then by taking a solemn oath to "support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America." In so doing, they voluntarily accept that citizenship is not merely a collection of rights, but also a set of responsibilities. Just as our Founders sought to secure the "Blessings of Liberty" for themselves and their posterity, these new Americans have come to our shores to embrace and impart the fundamental beliefs that define us as a Nation.

In the United States, our Constitution is not simply words written on aging parchment, but a foundation of government, a protector of liberties, and a guarantee that we are all free to shape our own destiny. As we celebrate this document's profound impact on our everyday lives, may all Americans strive to uphold its vision of freedom and justice for all."
