A strong majority of congress??? Only Dems voted for it and they got blown away in the next election.

*** “I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress,” Obama said. ***
Breathtakingly stupid, and dishonest.
Has he not studied the balance of powers and how it was intended for the SCOTUS to stop over reach by Congress? (Of course he has).
A strong majority? They backdoored this monstrosity by the slimmest of margins.

He’s a little racist thug holding our country hostage.
It is time for the adults to stand up to him because he is dangerous to the Republic (and world) no matter how much everyone yeilds to his dictates.
The GOP is so weak, it is dangerous.

The decision has been made and I’m sure Obama knows.

'.....questioned how an "unelected group of people" could overturn a law approved by Congress......"
Let me give you a clue, you marxist bastard....how about if the *law* is unconstitutional....?
Does that work for ya....?
I really hope the Supremes let him have it for publicly humiliating them in a State of the Union Address.
What goes around....comes around....

How did an unelected group of people strike down California's prop 187? Or create abortion rights? Or create a Miranda warning out of thin air? Or decide that CO2 can be regulated? Or create a right to gay marriage? Etc., etc., etc.
I think he is too stupid to realize how ridiculous he is. He has been in a bubble for his whole life. It is about to burst.

"The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."

Screw Obama. The real question is, will nine black-robed oligarchs have the courage to honor their oaths of office and protect the Constitution. We know probably four who will betray their oath and their country. The other five, who knows.

The president spoke at length about the case at a joint press conference with the leaders of Mexico and Canada. The president, adopting what he described as the language of conservatives who fret about judicial activism, questioned how an "unelected group of people" could overturn a law approved by Congress.What a coincidence! I question how one "unelected person" (i.e. HHS Secretary Sebelius) gets to be the arbitor of all health care decisions for every US Citizen.

"I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress," Obama said.
This is so utterly stupid it is past the point of Obama's usual inanity.
When the Supreme Court invalidates a law, it necessarily overturns a law that was passed by a majority of a democratically elected Congress, so this instance is no different than every other time the Supreme Court has invalidated a law, including all those times the Supreme Court has invalidated a law that hypocritical liberals like Obama did not care for.
Essentially, what Obama is saying here is that it would be unprecedented for the Supreme Court to invalidate a law because it's called a "law."

I disagree with many here. This is not a case of Obama’s ignorance at work.
NO. This is Obama directly appealing to the vast uneducated public school democrats, He is working off their ignorance, not his.
This is going to be the Obama defense. He has nothing else to stand on.
