I thought that was the climax of the address. Maybe you can explain better why he pulled out the constitution and claimed that Trump never read it?

I didn't hear the entire speech. I surely do not sit around and watch the entire conventions (either of them); I just have way better things to do with my free time.
What I walked away with from his speech was his son was a war hero, and Trumps plans to ban Muslims would have prevented people like his from becoming America citizens. When he held up the constitution his point wasn't that what Trump plans to do was against the constitution, but that it was "un-American". ALL Americans are either immigrants or the family of immigrants; I can trace my family line all the way back to Poland and Ireland.
But this brings up another point - Has Trump read the constitution? Can he debate about it? I bet you he cannot. Most Americans have read the constitution and studied briefly in school, but that's about it. I studied it in school, and there is no way I can debate the finer points of the constitution.
I wish they would put some questions about the constitution into the debates. That would be interesting.
