The Anti-President is really so full of hot air it is amazing he doesnt float away. Obama has in essence preemptively declared the Supreme Court to be an unelected group of people who will be guilty of judicial activism if they overturn either the individual mandate in Obamacare or the law in totality. He said to do so would be
an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically-elected congress
The man is either totally ignorant of history or deliberately lying to the American public as usual.
Judicial Activism? What About Executive Activism? Obama knows very much about activism, just not judicial activism. First, its not activism to overturn an unconstitutional law. Thats the courts job. Second, if overturning a law that is a duly constituted and passed law is judicial activism, what is it called when the Chief Executive unilaterally decides not to enforce one of those laws because he has decided its not constitutional?
President Obama has decided that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional and has asked his Justice Department to stop defending it in court, the administration announced today.
The president is not given the power under the Constitution to determine the constitutionality of laws, yet Obama took that power for himself. Sounds like the worst sort of activism .dictatorship. And its not the only time hes done it.
Bowing to pressure from immigrant rights activists, the Obama administration said Thursday that it will halt deportation proceedings on a case-by-case basis against illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria, such as attending school, having family in the military or having primary responsible for other family members care.

“The man is either totally ignorant of history or deliberately lying to the American public as usual.”
Could be both.
He is both.
President Obama has decided that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional and has asked his Justice Department to stop defending it in court, the administration announced today.
If he’s re-elected, he’ll never leave without a fight.
If he’s NOT re-elected, he won’t leave without a fight. Sadly, all he has to do to start CWII is not leave. Almost half in this country still love the man and think of him as a god. He can do no wrong.
Of course, there were those, including me, who doubted Clinton would leave office.
I agree
President Obama, judicial *review* of laws passed by Congress is not judicial *activism*!!! Judicial review is the very legitimate function of the Supreme Court.
You are welcome!
:)
If hes NOT re-elected, he wont leave without a fight. Sadly, all he has to do to start CWII is not leave. Almost half in this country still love the man and think of him as a god. He can do no wrong.——
I don’t think so, anymore. Not close to half, despite what the corrupt media say.
What about all the Czars that are Not elected and are Not Answerable to Congress or anybody else?
I think we should also add evil intent and contempt for the people under his administration...lies, stupid is as stupid does are par for the course for a commie muslim..
“President Obama has decided that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional and has asked his Justice Department to stop defending it in court, the administration announced today. “
I must have missed this!
We know that Obama sets himself as victim of every failure he invites. This is just another aspect of same MO. As well, he creates a 'me/they' - the enemy MO; i.e. 'those' who dare to disagree with his vision for an Obama-centered, mega-socialist America.
Agree with him; or you are a walking 'hate crime'. (So Alynsky. . .)
Meantime; we can appreciate that a Federal Appeals Court is not taking this lightly and has challenged Obama to a legal response for his arrogant and misguided assumptions of the Constitutional role of our Supreme Court.
Whatever his response; we know for certain, that Obama will continue to do what he does best per practice of his 'high art' - dividing and conquering - by drawing demarcation lines of hate through America's culturescape.
