So now the narrative is that, if a law is ‘big and important’, it’s automatically constitutional?
Interesting concept...
What? You’ve never heard the phrase, “too big to fail”?
;-)
I predict a replay of FDR’s Court Packing battle.
In that one, FDR lost the battle but won the war. He did not get to pack the Court, but afterwards they suddenly got religion and started seeing things his way.
Even if Obama loses this, look for the Left to put on a full-court press. “The Court is BROKEN and MUST be FIXED!” will be their battle cry. Court packing, mandatory retirement...they’ll try something. Will be a stealthy George Soros effort, not unlike the Secretaries of State Project.
Not entirely true. Every member of the military swears an allegiance to the Constitution, not to the president.
The president of Honduras overstepped his granted powers. The court ruled that he should be removed from office. He got a visit from the military, and agreed (with the alternatives never revealed to us) to leave the country the next day. Understand that this was a guy not inclined to give up power.
Obama immediately declared the even an “illegal coup” (along with Castro, Chavez, Ortega, and other despots), and threw US diplomatic power at returning the ex-president. This continued, even when a thorough reading of Honduran law showed beyond question correct and legitimate actions were done according to the Honduran Constitution.
The point: when the military is sworn to the constitution, the court DOES have an army.
In the book “Left Behind,“ a snake-oil salesman named Carpathian brings the World to ruin.
Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is our Carpathian as he tries to bring America to ruin.
Not just every member of the military, but every member of the federal government, including all the "alphabet soup" police style agencies. Now, the question becomes, will such as those honor their given word, or not?
I know not what course others might take, but as for me, I choose to end my life as I've lived it, faithful to my G-d, loyal to the country I was born in, and true to my own given word...

Likewise any talk of “suspending the constitution”. Suspend it, and we get a full reset to “by right of conquest”.
That reminds me of the "Far Side" cartoon where the chickens are going to attack the farmer--they get as far as the front porch of the farmer's house and one of them asks the others, "Why do we always get this far and then chicken out?"
In response to Stalin's question, when the Church undermined the Communist Party's legitimacy in the eyes of the people, the Party fell.
If tomorrow the Supreme Court publicly issued a ruling that Obama was not the legitimate President, how many generals would continue to follow Obama's orders?
****And we conservative remain comfortable enough toilet them continue to getaway with it.****
An interesting typo mo. :)
In “caffeine-no” veritas...
Liberals ARE pushing this country down the TOILET.
What was portrayed as a military coup in Honduras in 2009 (and criticized by Obama) was in fact the Supreme Court ordering the president (a Chavez puppet) him arrested for trying to change their constitution. He was sent into exile by the military, and an interim government was put in place; sanctions were placed on Honduras until they allowed him to return, but he didn’t get his job back.
Heck, I learned about Marbury v. Madison when I was in JUNIOR HIGH - back when you were required to pass the Constitution Test in order to get into High School. And, then again, my Junior year in High School when, once again, we had to take and pass the “Constitution Test” (with a score of at least 75% or above) simply to GRADUATE.
Frankly, I think Obama himself (not to mention his supporters) were quite shocked when it turned out that MILLIONS of “stupid Americans” are more aware of what’s in the Constitution and how our system of Government works than our President. I often find it rather amusing when the liberals believe their own propaganda.
I SO wanted to *debate* with a liberal friend of mine from High School who went to UC and took a class taught by Obama last night. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t bite and is remaining silent - as are most of my liberal friends on this subject - because they KNOW they have not a leg to stand on in trying to defend Obama’s idiocy and threats to SCOTUS.
