According to sources who watch the inner workings of the federal government, a smackdown of Barack Obama by the U.S. Supreme Court may be inevitable.
Ever since Obama assumed the office of President, critics have hammered him on a number of Constitutional issues. Critics have complained that much if not all of Obama's major initiatives run headlong into Constitutional roadblocks on the power of the federal government.
Obama certainly did not help himself in the eyes of the Court when he used the venue of the State of the Union address early in the year to publicly flog the Court over its ruling that the First Amendment grants the right to various organizations to run political ads during the time of an election.
The tongue-lashing clearly did not sit well with the Court, as demonstrated by Justice Sam Alito, who publicly shook his head and stated under his breath, 'That's not true,' when Obama told a flat-out lie concerning the Court's ruling.
As it has turned out, this was a watershed moment in the relationship between the executive and the judicial branches of the federal government. Obama publicly declared war on the court, even as he blatantly continued to propose legislation that flies in the face of every known Constitutional principle upon which this nation has stood for over 200 years.
Obama has even identified Chief Justice John Roberts as his number one enemy, that is, apart from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. And it is no accident that the one swing-vote on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy, stated recently that he has no intention of retiring until 'Obama is gone.'
Apparently, the Court has had enough.
The Roberts Court has signaled, in a very subtle manner, of course, that it intends to address the issues about which Obama critics have been screaming to high heaven. A ruling against Obama on any one of these important issues could potentially cripple the Administration.
Such a thing would be long overdue.
First, there is ObamaCare, which violates the Constitutional principle barring the federal government from forcing citizens to purchase something. And no, this is not the same thing as states requiring drivers to purchase car insurance, as some of the intellectually-impaired claim. The Constitution limits FEDERAL government, not state governments, from such things, and further, not everyone has to drive, and thus, a citizen could opt not to purchase car insurance by simply deciding not to drive a vehicle.
In the ObamaCare world, however, no citizen can 'opt out.'
Second, sources state that the Roberts court has quietly accepted information concerning discrepancies in Obama's history that raise serious questions about his eligibility for the office of President. The charge goes far beyond the birth certificate issue. This information involves possible fraudulent use of a Social Security number in Connecticut, while Obama was a high school student in Hawaii. And that is only the tip of the iceberg.
Third, several cases involving possible criminal activity, conflicts of interest, and pay-for-play cronyism could potentially land many Administration officials, if not the President himself, in hot water with the Court. Frankly, in the years this writer has observed politics, nothing comes close to comparing with the rampant corruption of this Administration, not even during the Nixon years. Nixon and the Watergate conspirators look like choirboys compared to the jokers that populate this Administration.
In addition, the Court will eventually be forced to rule on the dreadful decision of the Obama DOJ to sue the state of Arizona. That, too, could send the Obama doctrine of open borders to an early grave, given that the Administration refuses to enforce federal law on illegal aliens.
And finally, the biggie that could potentially send the entire house of cards tumbling in a free-fall is the latest revelation concerning the Obama-Holder Department of Justice and its refusal to pursue the New Black Panther Party. The group is caught on tape committing felonies by attempting to intimidate Caucasian voters into staying away from the polls.
A whistle-blower who resigned from the DOJ is now charging Holder with the deliberate refusal to pursue cases against Blacks, particularly those who are involved in radical hate-groups, such as the New Black Panthers, who have been caught on tape calling for the murder of white people and their babies.
This one is a biggie that could send the entire Administration crumbling--that is, if the Justices have the guts to draw a line in the sand at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
the one swing-vote on the court, Justice Anthony Kennedy, stated recently that he has no intention of retiring until 'Obama is gone.'
Sounds like someone might be getting a clue. Will the swing get suddenly stuck maybe?
They're compromised, at least enough of them are.
How do you think Hillary ended up with Sec State?
Nine hundred + FBI files on leading Republicans, that's how. With that sort of dirt mine, you can get people to play along, or replace them with people who will.
If the Supreme Court really felt this way, they would have acted already.
Everyone is rolling over and letting the constitution get trampled in the mud. Everyone.
The author of this article, Anthony Martin, is a whack job with no credibility. He’s the guy who sues everyone in sight. And occasionally runs for an office and loses. His track record goes way back. Take anything he would say with a grain of salt.
Imagine the entire Obama administration and all laws passed under the alleged President's regime ruled "Invalid" and swept away overnight, like waking up from a bad dream...
Ping
I think Obama said what he said about the Supreme Court because in his arrogance he figured they would be intimidated and let his stuff pass.
“reaching across the aisle”
For a reach around.
Whoo Hoo!!
‘wishin an hopin’
As for Holder, he is an Executive Branch officer. Separation of Powers most likely will shield him.
They may shield Holder personally but they certainly won’t shield the DOJ from challenges to it’s rulings. Overturning Holders decisions would be the equivalent of discrediting Holder.
“...This would be an EXCELLENT time for Republicans to stall further Obama appointments to ALL Federal judgeship....”
It would also be an EXCELLENT time for a fresh round of birth certificate cases to be sent to the SCOTUS. They may then be in the mood to look at them a bit more carefully.
I think it's more basic than that; Roberts needn't do anything. If in fact, Obama is Constitutionally ineligible to hold the office of POTUS, he has technically never been POTUS regardless of how many times he was sworn in. This is at the core of LTC Lakin's refusal...he is not going to follow the order of a person who's viability to issue the order is in question. The fact that 99.99% of the Executive Branch has deferred to his ascendancy as legitimate may make Obama the de facto President, but it does not make him the de jure President.
Oh, if only this could be verified. “Sources,” is kind of like saying “They,” without ever knowing or saying who “they” are. Come on, tell us...who are the “sources,” Mr. Anthony G. Martin?
Bring those cases . . and hurry them up!!!
Thanks for posting, I hope the “sources” know what they are talking about.
smackdown of Obama by 5 JUSTICES OF THE Supreme Court may be inevitable
... There, fixed it.
