Judicial and executive ACTIVISION has been his total modus operandi since he took office.
obama is as mentally disturbed as Al Gore.
You decide.
Better to have Judicial Activism than Presidential Dictatorship and/or communisim.
Thuggishly stupid.
Upholding the constitution is judicial activism? ** Newspeak Alert **
I don’t recall in at least the past 35 years any president commenting on not only recent, but even unannounced Supreme Court rulings. Ubama does so routinely. Ubama is not your normal president.
The accidental president, Ubama, is one very sick POS.
Pray for America.
Send the turd Ubama swirling down the toilet of history in November.
More stupid!
I guess Obama wants to rewrite history and throw out all cases in which the Supreme Court overturned unconstitutional laws that were made laws by democratically elected Congresscritters and presidents.
Did he really graduate from law school and teach constitutional law for YEARS?
I don't particularly care for that system, but it is the same as any election, albeit one with a very highly restricted franchise.
Give you another one. The members of the House of Representatives are elected from small districts that fail to represent the entire United States. To increase the franchise to people who don't live there we could probably vote for all of our Congress-critters on a party-list system. You'd get to vote for all of them ~ not just that one local guy.
There a great number of possible schemes for electing folks to office.
Right out of Alinski’s rules for radicals.
Freepers, he’s just setting the stage to pack the court with several new appointees under the guise of “reigning in” an “activist Court.”
Constitutional crisis, here we come!
I have to agree with other previous posters to this thread that it appears that Kagen leaked the results of Friday’s vote to Obama and his minions. I don’t think it was positive for the democrats.
I think that what we will see is an attempt by Obama to marginalize the Supreme Court just as he has marginalized Congress. Be prepared to hear the phrase, “Runaway activist Conservative Supreme Court,” repeated over and over during the months leading up to the election.
In other words, the entire federal government is broken, it’s Bush’s (and the conservatives’) fault, and we must allow Obama to have another four years to fix it.
Hey Bammy,
“Judicial Activism” hurts when it goes against your agenda doesn’t it?
Just keep grabbing more power for the federal government, then someday when the other party gets in power they will use it against your firends....
Gee, small and limited government doesn’t sound so bad anymore doesn’t it Bammy?
Big Government idiots are their own destruction... damned fools is what they are....
You didn’t include psychopath?
DRUDGE Headline linking this same Poltico article:
Obama dares court to overturn healthcare law...
Live like a thug, die like a thug.

.....
This man is running your country.
Now go pay your taxes and shut the hell up. Your country is broke. :)

"Trust me - I'm a Constitutional Perfessor ..."
I would like to propose a simple definition of judicial activism in the context of our constitutional arrangements, including checks and balances. Judicial activism is the adjudication of cases in a fashion which produces a result inconsistent with the language and intent of the constitution. The “action” in the “activism” is essentially altering the constitution, usually for the purpose of achieving a desire outcome. Striking down a measure which radically expands the power of the government is the virtual opposite of judicial activism or, judicial restraint.
Obama, the brilliant constitutional scholar (major sarc)knows this but uses the word “activism” to confuse the public into thinking that any significant action by the court is “activism”. As dramatic as striking down 0-care would be, it is actually circumscribing government power within the language of the constitution.
