RE:” I think the president is dangerously close to totalitarianism,” Napolitano opined. “A few months ago he was saying, ‘The Congress doesn't count, the Congress doesn't mean anything, I am going to rule by decree and by administrative regulation.’
“Now he's basically saying the Supreme Court doesn't count. It doesn't matter what they think. They can't review our legislation. That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing.”
Some would consider this borderline hyperbole. But this is, after all, a president who has said he can't wait for Congress to act and will govern by executive order and regulations if necessary. He has questioned the Supreme Court's “unprecedented” review of ObamaCare”

His argument is slightly different in the two cases. In the Obama-care case he is saying that the Pelosi congress SHOULD trump the SCOTUS who should not overturn any of the laws they passed. In the present case he is running against congress.

It is an election year. He is telling voters that he stands with them against the ‘conservative’ congress and the ‘conservative’ court’(and oil companies and the rich....). The only question is what side voters will choose.

He and Democrats did manage to make the Citizen's United decision unpopular, as most voters only know what he said about it at the SOTU.

And the silence by GOP Congress makes Obama’s points for him. I think they want to lose, just like McCain.
