For him to take conservative opposition to what they describe as "judicial activism" and attempt to turn it against the Court's appropriate role of interpreting the Constitution's limits on government power is the maneuver one might expect from him. Meanwhile, his own appointee knows exactly what conservatives have meant when they speak of "judicial activisim."
When conservatives complain about "judicial activism," they are describing the same kind of "activism" as his appointee to the Court, Sotomayor, described in her meeting at Duke University when she stated that the "court of appeals is where policy is made," and then added, "I know I shouldn't have said that, but . . . ."-- with a smile.
His open attempt at intimidating what he referred to as the "unelected" branch of government is a reminder of the wisdom of America's Founders in their making it just that: an "unelected" and, hopefully, an independent and objective group of individuals who would look to the approbation of future generations, and their liberty and freedom, rather than the railings or approval of a temporary and Partisan political leader of the moment.
Balls for fifty. This from the guy who unleashed dozens of czars, a veritable army of unelected bureaucrats, multitudes of new offices, to harass the people and eat out their substance.
For Obama to mock the way our forefathers set up our Constitutional Republic shows he's not interested in continuing that system, he's interested in changing it to a Marxist form of government.
Thanks for the ping, LL2.
