One step closer to tyranny. Obama declares that he is the law.

This is not an act of arrogance as this shitty paper commentator states.

THIS IS IMPEACHABLE OFFENCE!

It is not the first time. You Americans act on this or loose the grips of the Law on your country.

Add this to Wis. Senate Stall, to Drilling Moratorium, to Czars ruling and much more and you will see the result!

Stop funding these people

Stop listening to these people

Just go around them and fix the problems, ignoring the whinings of those on the left hellbent on destroying the country

If we don’t... There won’t be a country left (which is their goal, of course)

No problem...the next R President will refuse to prosecute Roe v. Wade, habeus corpus, and collective bargaining. Game Over.

It’s a breathtaking act of arrogance, a precedent so fraught that it threatens one of the nation’s bedrock founding principles: That America was to be ruled by law, not by individuals


They wanted an African American President——they got one.

Arrogance???? LMAO George and Wheezy have it in abundance.

It's a breathtaking act of arrogance, a precedent so fraught that it threatens one of the nation's bedrock founding principles: That America was to be ruled by law, not by individuals.

I have worked as a Spanish translator for years and have seen the rise and fall of many Latin American governments. One of the first things the new leftist dictators of these countries (Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, etc.) do is take on the court, particularly the constitutional court, and either dissolve it and throw its members in jail or simply ignore it. And they do exactly the same thing with validly passed laws: they just ignore them and say, "So, what are you gonna do about it, huh?"

I see this as a real challenge to the Supreme Court. Obama criticized them openly last year and now he is just shrugging and saying, ok, the law is what I say it is, and I don't need no stinkin' Constitution or court telling me what to do.

I disagree strongly with the President’s decision to not defend the law, but I’m afraid I agree with his basic position. The law is unconstitutional.

DOMA attempts to override, or provide exceptions for, a specific provision of the Constitution by means of a law passed by Congress and signed by the President.

While I very much agree with what DOMA is trying to accomplish, the proper way to do it is via a constitutional amendment. Which, unfortunately, will never happen.

It sets a horrible precedent. Do Congress and the President have equal authority to override provisions of the 1st or 2nd Amendments?

Obama is the law, and Obama is above the law, therefore there is no law.

Impeachment is becoming necessary. The big obstacle is the Senate.

But common-sense judges can still say the law is in effect, and must be obeyed, ruling against homosexual-marriage plaintiffs.

Wouldn’t that tick off Obama & Holder.

States need to ignore king obuma. They can start by refusing to implement obuma deathcare and any other illegal decree.

With this latest atrocity of a decision, Obama proves once and for all that he is a hypocritical, totally politically motivated, power-seeking Hugo Chavez wannabe.

I think I’ve figured out who Obama thinks he is. Andrew Jackson.
