FULL TITLE - What This New York Times Writer Got Wrong on Supreme Court Case Challenging Obama’s Executive Actions

In a recent New York Times op-ed, Linda Greenhouse takes the Supreme Court justices to task for the "startling" action of asking the Obama administration to address whether its deferred-action immigration program violates the Take Care Clause of the Constitution.

The Take Care Clause is the president's duty to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." And it has come to the forefront in the case brought by Texas and 25 other states challenging the Obama administration's attempt to give legal status and work authorizations to more than four million illegal immigrants.

In "The Supreme Court vs. the President," Greenhouse appears flabbergasted that the Supreme Court would ask such a question.

She first argues that the Supreme Court shouldn't get involved in this constitutional question because the lower courts never addressed it.

“She first argues that the Supreme Court shouldn’t get involved in this constitutional question because the lower courts never addressed it.”

Someone who has never heard of “original jurisdiction” isn’t qualified to be opining about the Supreme Court. If she was a student in my civics class, I’d flunk her. Oh wait, we don’t have civics classes anymore. Perhaps that is part of the problem?

IOW, we know it violates the Take Care clause, but don’t get in our way or we’ll destroy you.
