President Obama said again Tuesday that it has been a long time since the Supreme Court struck down an economic law passed by Congress, but he mixed up the decisions and their timing.
“We have not seen a court overturn a law that was passed by Congress on an economic issue, like healthcare, that I think most people would clearly consider commerce,” the president said. “A law like this has not been overturned at least since Lochner. Right? So we’re going back to the ‘30s, pre-New Deal.”
Actually, that’s wrong. The case of Lochner vs. New York was decided in 1905, and the Supreme Court continued to strike down laws that sought to regulate economic conditions until the mid-1930s. Law professors -- Obama used to be one -- often use the name of the case as the label for the era of Supreme Court activism that ended after the high court invalidated several New Deal laws from 1934 to 1936.

No Joke: Newsweek calls for impeaching Supreme Court Justtices if they overturn Obamacare
Snip: The Roberts Court’s rulings appear to be a concerted effort to send us back to the Gilded Age. If they dump the Affordable Care Act, writes David Dow, we should dump them.
Obama knows absolutely nothing about American history, American government, Americans and freedom. He’s nothing but a two-bit Chicago thug.
And that Marxist moron was a con-law assoc. prof.
God help us.
Lochner struck down a NY law relating to limiting the number of hours a baker could work. It has nothing to do with the extent of federal powers to regulate.
And this poser supposedly “taught Constitutional law.” Yeah right. My Yorkie has a better grasp of it than he does.
you do know that you will never get Obama out of The White House, he was voted in once and that’s all he needs
Oh, please, please try to impeach a member of the SCOTUS over Obamacare!
Talk about a winning issue for Republicans. This issue cost Democrats 63 seats in the House in 2010. Keeping Obamacare front and center would be a big help for a Republican trifecta.
He surrendered his law license.
He was never an associate professor. That rank means tenured. He was an adjunct. Not, however, a mere cheap wages adjunct as are employed everywhere to teach intro courses. Law schools and business schools bring adjuncts in at a higher level of prestige (after, these are graduate-level professional schools), people who arn’t interested in tenure-track because they have a day job they don’t want to give up but who bring some enhancement to the school. In Obama’s case it was his skin color not his professional accomplishments that was the “enhancement.” Can you say “racism?”
He surrendered his law license.
At a formal request that is.
This comes from the LA Slimes?!
Seriesly?
And wait, and wait..
“Talk about a winning issue for Republicans.”

Is it true that he his bisexual and the White House Press corps (not
corpse) , the adulterers, homosexual, bisexual, Communist sympathizers, they are are covering for him the way they covered for Kennedy and Clinton the Rapist?
Obama botches! Ha, who really believes that?
Yep.
The care of my health is not a matter of commerce for the Government to tax or regulate. My Witch Doctor accepts live chickens as payment, and I raised them from eggs, fed them off the sweat of my brow, and watered them with eco-friendly 1930’s windmill.
My health care is my decision, is personal and private and the Government can stay the hell out of my business.
He’s worse then Biden.
