I remember reading about a long time ago, when Nanzi Pelosi was just a girl, England had a law against executing women and there was a lady-in-waiting who Henry VIII believed had corrupted one of his wives—the young, silly wife, Katherine Howard, that’s it—and he really wanted this woman whacked, so he had Parliament immediately change the law. And then he had he head lopped off.
Just because he could.
Here our King is saying he refuses to respect the act of a co-equal branch of government, just because he can.
“When a long train of abuses ....”
No, no, no. You misunderstand. Obama is just using a very broad interpretation of Article 2, Secion 2. Advice and consent. To him and his rogue administration advice and consent simply means that if he agrees with Congress, they have given him their consent. If they disagree with him, it is only advice and can be ignored.
So in the mind of the esteemed Constitutional scholar, Barack Obama, the branches of government were never co-equal.
