Would the White House really try to get around the Constitution?
The Washington Post ^ | March 12, 2015 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 03/13/2015 9:12:07 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

What began as the quoted view of “experts,” who just happened to be found by the New York Times, and migrated onto an Iranian state Web site and then got repeated in the Lawfare blog has not gone unnoticed by savvy Republicans and conservative observers of the Obama administration’s Iran antics. As Jack Goldsmith said, the idea — bizarre as it may seem — is that the administration would go to the United Nations Security Council to pass the Iran agreement and thereby boost its status as enforceable international law.

Would the White House really try to get around the Constitution?

Is this a trick question?

Constitution?

Obama don’ need no stinkin’ CONSTITUTION!
He is the anointed one, the Gay Media Mwssiah!! He is above such petty things as laws, or a piece of paper.

Just ask anyone in the (non-FOX) Mainstream Media about this. (If they want to stay employed, they will answer politically correctly)

Where has this moron been for the last 74 months? Obama has an unbroken record of circumventing Congress, proudly announcing that he is circumventing Congress and generally defecating on the Constitution. How stupid are these people or, how stupid do they think their readers are?

My response in past years would have been “Is the Pope Catholic?”

Of course; and since the latest news is that the Obamas are planning to move to NYC - how many will take bets that Obama may have his eyes set on being head of the UN?

If you remember, it was the Clintons who first thought of Hillary being President and Bill being the head of the UN. It would have been a coup in ruling the WORLD.

Since Obama is even more arrogant than the Clintons; I don’t think I’d be surprised if this turned out to be true for Obama.

As a Catholic, I'm dubious of that distinction myself.

There's not a White House in my lifetime that didn't try to get around the Constitution on some matter(s) or another.

Frequency = that's a different story.

Maybe Jennifer could find out what Obama published during his brilliant academic career concerning the Constitution. That might shed some light on what he thinks he can do.

The Iran agreement paints Obama as the screaming baby we all know he is and demonstrates his childish tantrum, perfectly. Congress is the Mom, the UN is the Dad and Obama is the screaming baby who is threatening to go to Dad after Mom said, “No”.

The evil one is setting up American conservatives to be opposed and hated by the rest of the world.
