We all know that Barack Obama was a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago. He spent more than a decade lecturing on what is possibly the greatest document ever written by men. Later, when elected to the Senate and then the White House he swore to defend that same Constitution. Despite all of that, one has to wonder, does Barack Obama not actually understand the document he has spent a quarter century studying, teaching and “defending” or is he some kind of self directed progressive Manchurian Candidate? Whichever is the case, one thing is unassailable, Barack Obama is a using the power of the presidency to eviscerate the Bill of Rights. Not the whole thing mind you, but enough to turn the granite foundation of American freedom into a termite ridden balsa wood floor that could give way at any moment.
So how has Obama undermined the Bill of Rights? Let us count the ways…
1st Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press…”Just to be clear, in this context the framers said Congress but meant the federal government because they expected Congress would make all laws and the President would execute and enforce them.
Freedom of Speech: President Obama used the IRS to quash the voices of the most rabid and politically dangerous of his opponents, the Tea Party and in doing so stole the 2012 election.
Freedom of the Press: Obama’s Justice Department purposely bypassed judicial review and secretly subpoenaed records from the AP as well as the personal phone records of a number of its editors and reporters in an attempt to discover the source of a leak about terrorist plots. This is the same Obama Justice Department that characterized routine reporting practices as criminal activity by labeling Fox News reporter James Rosen a “co-conspirator” for reporting on North Korea and then tracking both his professional and personal actions and emails. In these cases, and perhaps others yet unknown, the President and his team sought to use the police power of the state to intimidate the press.
2nd Amendment: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.Right to keep and bear Arms: The Obama administration has spent much time and effort seeking to find ways to limit American’s right to bear arms. From supporting UN treaties that require gun registration to floating the idea of forcing psychologists to report on your gun ownership, to talking about working on gun control “under the radar”, President Obama has made it clear that the 2nd Amendment is no barrier to his desire to eliminate our right to own guns.
4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.…to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects: This is one of President Obama’s favorite targets. We’ve all heard of the NSA gathering data on citizen’s phone calls and Internet surfing habits without warrants, which would seem a crystal clear violation of the 5th Amendment. Now we discover that the Obama administration is demanding that major Internet companies turn over users’ stored passwords. required to have data collecting black boxes installed. Those boxes collect a variety of data from how fast you’re going to whether or not you’re wearing your seat belt to how long it took you to step on the brake. Add to that the fact that most cars will have OnStar like capabilities and the government could pull a NSA redux and easily know everything about every trip you ever make as well as listen to everything you say the entire time.
That means that potentially a phalanx of nameless, faceless bureaucrats from the IRS or the NSA or the DHS can sit there and scrutinize your every message or like or post on Facebook or Match.com or any other social media platform. And it’s not just online. In 2012 the NTHSA proposed that by 2014 all cars be requiredto have data collecting black boxes installed.

Why?
Zer0 WAS NOT a “professor”.
Obama did promise to execute the Constitution.
No one will dare impeach the Magic Negro...
He was a part time ‘instructor’. His employment was ‘secured’ for him by forces unknown.
I'm sure there are at least 100 incidents where there is strong evidence of TREASON, and probably 1000 more where there is very good evidence, but who actually believed a lying SOB like 0bama would honor his oath? Also as a muslim, he gets points in his cult for lying.
Besides 0bama's obvious TREASON, I think action should be taken against those that are standing by and allowing him to become a TYRANT, namely Boehner, McConnell and Cantor!
Professor, well, slang for a guy who played a piano in a whore house...yup, that would be he. Meanwhile, you are correct, he was not a law professor, he was a LECTURER and obviously he had no knowledge of the subject matter as the job was a political appointment.
And who’s going to impeach? Cry-Boy Boehner?
Please...
I love you, HG. I want you to be my adopted FR daddy. You’re the most reliable blog-pimp caller ever.
Stopped reading after that ridiculous first sentence. He was never a professor.
Ain’t that the truth...
He’s a turd wrapped in human skin.
I'm actually just a coding genius, it's all automatic.
Even this post was generated automatically. ;-)
Let’s at least get enough bang for the buck. Charge the current occupant of the white house as well as the previous 3 and maybe we’ll get a discount on tar, feathers and rope.
Impeached?
When do I hear “hanged”??
After he hangs the whole “opposition”?
