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.

this is the Supreme Court docket for cases and 10-1351 is scheduled for a decision at that time. It is about a case that a federal judge accepted and then refused to hear the evidence because he had been sworn in by then. The case refere to eight decades of cases for its precedent.

And yet the MSM billed Obozo as a teacher and expert on the Constitution. I doubt if he can even spell constitution.
“The Roberts Court has signaled.....”
The fact that this is an article from going-on a year ago, I’m wondering just what sort of signal was sent? Smoke? Semaphore flags?
Thank you for the information.
One of the problems with these court cases, is that only Congress, through the U.S.Constitution, has the power to remove a President.
I sympathize with the attorneys and their clients who keep going through the courts looking for redress, but the path to Justice may not be through a court but through the Congress.
I do wish them luck. No one wants Obama thrown out of the White House more than myself. From all the research I’ve done, since March, 2008, it was obvious he wasn’t born in the U.S.A. He shouldn’t be President as he is not a U.S.citizen.
The Supreme Court already dealt with the same situation years ago, in Bush’s administration.
They said the government hasn’t the power to interfere in the State’s execution of murderers.
“You think Obama is going to let SCOTUS stop him? He’ll just ignore their rulings. Watch.”
I’m afraid you’re right - it’s the Chicago (and Alinski) way. Look at the way he’s totally ignoring and dissing congress with his back door amnesty plan - and I haven’t hear peep from even a single congressman!

Constitution? WE don’t need no steenkin’ constitution...
If the GOP gets a Senate majority, zerO wins a 2nd term (God forbid)and there actually is an impeachment/conviction, the country will erupt in riots fomented by we-all-know-who.
The same riots will happen if a Republican wins the Presidency, of course. They don’t ever accept losing, they have absolutely no grace and no respect for law. Any GOP President/Congress will take all the public blame for the donk/commie failures. Any progressive excess is rationalized while any conservative utilization of these unlawful precedents they are setting will be characterized as fascism. It is all about intent, with the donks. Anything is justified to achieve their ends; nothing is allowed to counter them. They are perfectly capable of using their own majorities while absolutely marginalizing ours.
They are scared, of course and that is why they are trying to marginalize the Constitution and agitating for a dictatorial Executive. They simply will not understand that the country will not be able to continue business as usual for the beneficiaries of corruption and it will end in the longed for street actions and riots that will presage a Second Revolution. This time, I will not be at all shocked to find foreign supporters of our demise openly supporting the statists with arms, materiel and combatants.
Up to that point it was a great article.
“...but the path to Justice may not be through a court but through the Congress.”
they can certainly invalidate his election...in which case the DNC is on the hook for fraud.
Thanks for the ping. Hmmmmm.
Indeed. Not to mention the botched Oath of Office, which, I have always believed Obama hesitated at that one place to make Roberts stumble, which it did and Roberts stumbled. Then the next day the "re-do" in secret in some room in the W.H. with, as I understand it, only one still photo taken and no Bible present during the "re-do". There is NO "re-do". It is such an important oath that if there was any question at the moment of the swearing in, it would be repeated immediately. Since it wasn't, he was not only un-qualified Constitutionally to even be on the Democrat ballot, but has never been officially sworn in'.
We are in a HEAP of trouble, folks.
Ping. Hope something comes of this.
Absolutely correct.
Another factor is that the states, cities and counties own the roads. If you own something, you have the right to control who can use it. You can drive without insurance all you want up and down your driveway, on your farm, or anywhere else you like, as long as it's your property.

>Damn, I was excited for a minute.
Well, the USSC did recently UNANIMOUSLY[!] affirm that federal laws may be challenged on the basis of violating the 10th Amendment.
Obama could go on national television, unzip his skin, and reveal himself to be a Martian. The Court will do NOTHING. They understand the limits of their actual power, and are unwilling to demonstrate it to the world, nor do they have any interest in plunging the US into civil war.
