Some dingbat lib lawyers on Hannity was trying justify Obama’s action on not defending this law in court.
Not defending this law is court is the same as not enforcing the law. Dumb lawyers are a dime a dozen.
No, it's not.
"Dumb lawyers are a dime a dozen"
Then I assume you'd put Ronald Reagan's AG William French Smith, and his Solicitor General, Rex Lee (father to UT Sen. Mike Lee) in that same "dumb lawyer" category? After all, they are the lawyers, acting on Reagan's direction, to NOT defend a civil suit directed at the IRS from Bob Jones University.
John Roberts, while also working in the Solicitor General office under GHW Bush, didn't defend the FCC from a lawsuit, because they agreed with the plaintiff. Is Roberts equally "dumb".
This happens in EVERY administration. People have very short memories, that seem to be more politically expedient than intellectually honest.
“Not defending this law is court is the same as not enforcing the law. Dumb lawyers are a dime a dozen.”
I understand the distinction, but am confused by Obama’s behavior. If the law is unconstitutional, then wouldn’t he be violating his oath of office to enforce it? And is he indeed doing that right now? (the latter is an honest question: I haven’t been tracking this issue that closely). If the law truly is unconstitutional, then he should be impeached for enforcing it! How’s that for a Catch-22?
