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.
To take up all this space to “enlighten” me
and Red .. fergodssake ... strange.
“You do not agree? That is because you truly do not know who Obama is. I will seek to enlighten you.”
???
I thought the same.
Surely one who committed a felony is ineligible. In fact, if the ID is for say, Elmer Fudd, it would mean Obama ran under a fictitious name, as the legal ID, or SSN, does not match his birth name.
Makes one wonder how many ‘newcomers’ are drawing Social Security and maybe even pensions using bogus ID information?
And when the SC rules against him you’ll hear him quoting Andrew Jackson.
“All that we have left of them are grease spots of lanolin on the pages of history.”
That’s beautiful, Candor7. I might have to steal it :-)
They’ve been waiting for the 2010 elections.
If they had gone after Obama immediately, he could have pulled an FDR and tried to increase the number of Supreme Court members, which he would then select and the Democrat controlled Congress would have approved... this making the Supreme Court a socialist tool.
By waiting for the 2010 elections, it will be impossible for Obama to try and increase the size of the Supreme Court, as the Republican party will have the votes in Congress to stop it (and to also reject all his candidates).
Or, the only Pubbies without blackmailable skeletons in their closets are women...
Interesting observation = = however, I think the State-run
media will continue to protect this guy , , , Hillary is a liberal; but I think Hussein Obama is far left of Hillary.\
The state-run media finally got their socialist and they are not going to allow anyone to take him away.
Beware though, the sheep can get you into big trouble. Its a Scottish thing!LOL.

The next two elections are the only “smackdowns” I see on the horizon. And it it very important that in those two elections, WE DELIVER THEM, and not wait for some court to do it.
My best guess would be the “Where’s the Birth Certificate?” billboard.
lead on, MacDuff!
Since detailed medical records weren't released, I guess we won't know ... in this lifetime.
Brain removed?
There IS a Constitutional requirement to be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age, however.
How are those requirements supposed to be fulfilled if not by producing the documents?
Pinging me...
“Sources”?
the rear view is also rather strange...
