Sources say smackdown of Obama by Supreme Court may be inevitable

[Red Steel]

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.

Obamacare (all). The Stimulus (nearly all), Cap and Trade (nearly all), The new finance law (nearly all).

From Wiki (there’s more at Wiki):

Political campaigns
Anthony Martin grew up as a Democrat, and served as an intern to Senator Paul Douglas in the summer of 1966. In 1977, he ran in a special election for mayor of Chicago, losing to acting mayor Michael Bilandic.

Over the years, he has run for various offices in Connecticut, Florida and Illinois as a Democrat, a Republican and an independent. Among them:

U.S. Senator from Illinois, 1978 (Democratic primary)
U.S. Senator from Illinois, 1980 (Democratic primary)
U.S. House from Connecticut, 1986 (Republican primary)
President of the United States, 1988 (Democratic primary)
Governor of Florida, 1990 (Republican primary)
U.S. House from Florida, 1992 (Republican primary)
Florida State Senate, 1996 (unsuccessful Republican nominee)
U.S. Senator from Florida, 1998 (Republican primary)
President of the United States, 2000] (Republican primary)
U.S. Senator from Florida, 2000 (unsuccessful independent candidate)
U.S. Senator from Illinois, 2004 (Republican primary, removed from ballot according to Illinois State Board of Elections)
U.S. Senator from Florida, 2004 (Republican primary)
Governor of Illinois, 2006 (Republican primary)
U.S. Senator from Illinois, 2008 (Republican primary)
U.S. Senator from Illinois, 2010 (Republican primary)
His 1996 run for the Florida State Senate came unraveled when it was revealed that he’d named his campaign committee for his 1986 congressional run “The Anthony R. Martin-Trigona Congressional Campaign to Exterminate Jew Power in America.” The revelation led the state Republican Party to renounce him. Just before the election, he assaulted two cameramen from WPTV, the NBC affiliate in West Palm Beach. He was convicted of criminal mischief and sentenced to a year in jail. He was freed pending appeal, but made personal attacks on the judge while on the way out of the courtroom. The judge held Martin in criminal contempt of court and sentenced him to seven months in jail. However, he was mistakenly let out of jail after only a month. Martin never returned, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. If he is ever arrested, he will have to serve 16 months in jail.[8] The warrant was still outstanding at least as of the time of Martin’s 2008 Senate run, but he said the issue is being “resolved.”[12]

During his 2000 run for president, he accused George W. Bush of using cocaine. In 2003, several months before Saddam Hussein was captured, he claimed to have found the former Iraqi dictator’s hideout.[8]

Martin was a 2010 Republican candidate for U.S. Senator in Illinois for the seat being vacated by Sen. Roland Burris. The Illinois primary was conducted on February 2, 2010.[13] In December 2009, Martin ran radio ads which included Martin requesting that one of his opponents, Republican Mark Kirk, answer claims about his sexuality made by Illinois Republican Jack Roeser.[14] The Illinois Republican Party Chairman Patrick Brady subsequently announced “The Illinois Republican Party disavows the statements made today by Mr. Andrew Martin in his statewide radio advertisements...Mr. Martin will no longer be recognized as a legitimate Republican candidate by the Illinois Republican Party.”[14][15] Martin returned 37,359 votes, five percent of the total votes.[16]

U.S. Senator from Illinois, 2004 (Republican primary, removed from ballot according to Illinois State Board of Elections)

Hmmmmm, an axe to grind with 0 and his dirty tactics perhaps?

I haven't seen anything on that suit. However, all U.S. Citizens can join this one:

Obamacare Class Action Lawsuit

"The purpose of this lawsuit is to reverse Supreme Court precedent related to the Commerce clause and thereby overturn Obamacare. The Supreme Court has historically erred in its interpretation of the Constitutional role of the Federal Government. Recent Supreme Court rulings hint that they may be willing to take another look at Commerce clause precedent. Obamacare is so over reaching and so onerous, that it must either be repealed in Congress or struck down in the courts. We must fight this on both fronts. This is our historic opportunity to reverse America’s trend toward Socialism by overturning this unconstitutional precedent.

If you are a US citizen and agree with the goal of this lawsuit, please join us. If you have concerns about joining, please review the FAQs for more information. Every person we add strengthens the voice of "We the People".

It is a never ending vicious cycle of corruption.

The GOP will start trials of investigation and impeachment

-—COMING: In November-—

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/07/the_democrats_worst_nightmare.html

My prediction: Obama will use Alinsky rules to say they are attacking him because they are racist and it is there fault
he did nothing and “he wants to get on with the peoples true concerns.”

Then look for Hillary to slide in and go fake moderate and say she will save the world with slick Willy and the same EXACT criminal cronies in the current administration.

From Martin’s keyboard to God’s eyes... Make it be so!

[xzins]

Is there a possibility that the Scotus will interject itself into anything? I doubt it. Their processes simply don’t work like that.

[theDentist]

OIK, but the big question is: When? When are they going to hear/decide on these issues? 2011? 2012? 2016?

[Trust but Verify]

Am I missing something? Since when does the Supreme Court “gather evidence” in the absence of a specific issue they are ruling on? Doesn’t a case have to be brought before them for their consideration, and that would only be after the case made its way through the lower court system?

Prescisely my question. The last I knew, cases challenging these Obama policies/illegalities have to be brought all the way through the federal court suystem. The SCOTUS does not investigate and originate federal lawsuits. I'm surprised you were the first to raise this point on this thread.

[Trust but Verify]

The court cannot act without a case being presented to them. Good grief, where have people’s brains gone?

[Trust but Verify]

The answer is NO. They have no power to act on anything other than a case being presented to them by a plaintiff. The drooling over this article tells me some people have lost their minds.

Call me all the BIRTHER names you like I don't give a damn but WILL SOMEONE answer to this?

[r9etb]

The only thing missing in this alluring story is .... cases before the court on which the Supremes can rule.

Call me when these rumors turn into lawyers actually arguing before the Court.

WILL NOT HAPPEN , , ,

Only way this will ever happen is if the State-run, Liberal-left media becomes a willing accomplice to get him out. We all know that will never, ever happen. The media is in bed with this guy and will do whatever it takes to protect him.

[bfree]

I disagree. Hillary will be getting ready to challenge him in the primaries and she OWNS the press.
