Many of us political activists in the Church agree that Senator Reid espouses principles of government that are contrary to certain teachings of LDS prophets and apostles.  He got quite outspoken about his disagreements with what Ezra Taft Benson had said on political issues, even stating President Benson had led members down the wrong path.

But if one looks at the record in Congress of other LDSs, especially Senators Hatch and Bennett, former Representative Cannon, as well as a few other LDSs in Congress, one should recognize that they either lack understanding of the Constitution or lack the integrity to be guided by it.  I expect LDSs in government to support constitutional principles if for no other reason than they, like all other American LDSs, are bound by D&C 98:6.  And back in the October 1987 General Conference President Benson spelled out very clearly what it meant to befriend the U.S.Constitution.
