Now that most of us have learned about Critical Race Theory and its influence on Obama we should get up to speed on Critical Legal Theory.

Obama is using the Hugo Chavez playbook.

When that pesky old Constitution gets in the way, ignore it, and attack anybody who stands against you.

The claims that the Democrats are trying to intimidate the Supremes by talk of impeachment is just silly.

Well, actually they may be trying to do this, but the notion that the Supremes will actually be intimidated is silly.

Impeachment requires simple majority of the House and conviction requires 2/3 majority of the Senate. There is no way either could be achieved. It is unlikely the Democrats could even keep all their peeps in line, possibly not even a majority of them, much less override the GOP majority in the House.

Some think Mr. Obama and his progressive infantry are trying to intimidate the Justices, specifically Justice Anthony Kennedy

No, I don't think Obama thought he could influence the Justices one way or the other.

I think he was just testing a message...the one he'll have to deliver if the SC strikes down Obamacare.

Best to test the message now so it's the wrong oone it won't have as much of an impact later. And, yes...it looks like it was the wrong one so now he'll have to tweak it haha.

Oz? Would it be fantasy. Deficit spending, massive borrowing and dollar printing, unsustainable debt, a war on carbon energy sources, unfunded liabilities etc etc . Its all to real. What’s more given a billion dollar reelection fund directed at muddled voters in battleground states and extensive fraud, the Obama clown parade is likely to continue.

RE:”I am confident,” announced the president of the United States, “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.” And so it was on Monday that Barack Obama, anticipating a loss before the Supreme Court, added the third branch of government to the list of villains he will run against in his re-election campaign.
Many are saying the president should know Marbury v. Madison. He does. It doesn't matter. If something gets in his way, Barack Obama hammers it—whether courts or Congress. The left likes that. It remains to find out if the rest of the country wants the judicial and legislative branches subordinated to a national leader......
It appears to be unprecedented, however, for a U.S. president to have attacked the Supreme Court before it handed down its decision. Some think Mr. Obama and his progressive infantry are trying to intimidate the Justices, specifically Justice Anthony Kennedy. But most legal commentary has said the president's attack is likely to anger the justices, perhaps including some of the court's liberals. Mr. Obama’s notion of judicial review diminishes all the members of any court, not just its conservatives. It doesn't help the always difficult struggle for an independent judiciary in other countries if an American president is issuing Venezuela-like statements on U.S. courts.....
It was the Supreme Court's great debunker, Justice Antonin Scalia, who came closest in the ObamaCare oral arguments to pulling the curtain back on the Affordable Care Act's inner machinery. That was the moment when Justice Scalia asked: “What happened to the Eighth Amendment? You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages?”

There should be some news out in the next 2 hours regarding the DOJ doing the 3 page paper homework assignment. Anybody have a link to more news on this?

'I am confident," announced the president of the United States, "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."

Four lies in one sentence.

Obama knew about the power of the SCOTUS to strike down laws as unconstitutional...any law student would know this. However, Obama's outburst was purely from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals

. Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Obama may well have been leaked the results of last week's vote and Obamcare is going down 5 to 4. To respond he must demonize the SCOTUS.

I caught the end of Cavuto's show yesterday..Judge Napolitano was on, talking about this. He said that in his opinion, Obama has a "strong authoritarian streak" in him...that he doesn't believe in the three separate, but equal branches of govt.

First time I ever heard someone of some note say that publicly, and of course, as we all know, "authoritaria" is just one step removed from totalitarian..

If you don’t have the facts, argue the law.
If you don’t have the law, argue the facts.
If you don’t have the facts or the law, abuse the plaintiff/defendant.
