... a federal appeals court apparently is calling the president's bluff -- ordering the Justice Department to answer by Thursday whether the Obama Administration believes that the courts have the right to strike down a federal law ...

makes me think that a constitutional crisis is coming.. he will reject their ruling.. states he has the authority to do so...the NYT backs him up... all follow suit...
then I wonder, do the repubs in congress scream for a few days...and then die down ?
it seems as though things are finally coming to a head..
Maybe Obama is under the misconception that the Constitution is about "chicks and balances" (which is why both of his appointees so far as women, and the person named as his likely future appointee is also a woman).
Smackdown !!!!!!!!!

** I was thinking along the same lines..it’s almost as he’s laying the groundwork to ignore the ruling & continue to implement?

I triple-dog-dare one journOlister to ask the President is he has EVER argued a case in ANY Court of law, not as a student, as a professional attorney. One case. Just one. Has he ever?
Time for you to submit EVIDENCE of your SCHOLARLY DAYS, 0bama..
Beautiful smackdown! And within 24 hours! And from the bench! Way to go, Judicial Branch!
Naah - that was skirt-chaser Clinton that thought it was “Chicks and balances.”
The court’s challenge will go hand in hand with the bold, incisive and direct criticism given by the RNC to Great Leader’s assertions.
Feeling good Ping.................
0b0z0 attacks on SCOTUS got some other judges mad!
Judges are mouthing off at 0b0z0!
Advice to all judges: have sets and spines; check out his negative GPAs, if he had any!
While you are at it, throw him in jail for fraud!
This may be unprecedented. I need to do some research.
It's not as easy as it sounds.
Imagine for a moment that he did so.
Next, all those who are injured by the continuation of Obamacare lawyer up and take their specific cases to court. If the lower courts recognize the authority of the Supreme Court, then Obama loses, with the government possibly having to pay enormous damage payments.
If the lower courts try to side with Obama, then the plaintiffs appeal until their case reaches the Supreme Court, possibly by direct appeal. The plaintiffs win again.
Once the courts have spoken, the bureaucrats will take a turn. Will the Health and Human Services personnel obey the Court or Obama? Even if the Supreme Court issues an injunction directly to them?
It's been said that the Supreme Court has no army. I disagree. Every armed American is a soldier in the Supreme Court's army.
“makes me think that a constitutional crisis is coming.. he will reject their ruling.. states he has the authority to do so”
I think so too. Use another executive order such as the order to keep every private record with a law firm, including the real birth certificate on the first day of inauguration.
Just like the Game of Thrones ad: War is Coming.
Guess he missed that whole “checks and balances” thing. Constitutional lawyer/professor? {derisive snort} My lilly white backside.
I hope the supreme court has the balls to do what the prissy pink panty bawler boehner was afraid to do
One should assume the Federal Judges know full well where they stand with regard to the Constitution and do not take lightly any other Branch trying to usurp, regardless of their political persuasion.
FU.baraq !
The article claims this is based on an inside tip. Of course there is no doubt about what Obama believes... I am convinced he wants the constitution rewritten...
Hussein keeps pushing the envelope to keep his voters entertained. What will happen when the king opts not to reply? Nothing. And that is where he shows his voters who is really king in this country. He can and does whatever he wants, laws and constitution be damned.
