In other words, the Supreme Court should not even have heard this case, or any other case, much less render judgement on it.

Mmmm, no. The courts decide whether or not some law is constitutional not the law makers such as congress. Mr. Holder needs a course on Constitutional law as well as Obamalamadingdong.

One of the highly developed talents of President Barack Obama is the ability to say things that are demonstrably false, and make them sound not only plausible but inspiring.

hey, it worked with his birth certificate! I guess he just figured they would just take his word for it with this too!

"Carney (AKA Baghdad Bob) - "President Obama knows the law."
Hell. He doesn't even know (for sure) who his daddy is.
I'm sorry - lost my mind just for a moment. Should be: "He don't know fo sho who his daddy be."

Mr. Holder arms terrorists and has burned
American children alive.
Of what need has he, or his racist-terrorist DOJ,
ever had for SCOTUS, truth, justice, or the American way.

Remember these radical leftist utopian hacks live in a false world where right and wrong are defined by their radical agenda, not what is right for America and its laws.
Courts could presume laws to be Constitutional, if we had honest, law and Constitution abiding people creating them. But we don’t— we have Obama and Holder, et al.
So that removes that assumption.

It is my understanding that our judicial systems must assume that all laws are constitutional until challenged by someone with standing. Otherwise every law passed would have to pass through the judicial system before becoming accepted law.

Uh, “presumptively constitutional” is sort of beside the point when the law in question is under active consideration by the Supreme Court. We’re past presumption at that point.

???????A Constitutional Law Professor???? WTF
How about a sometimes substitute law lecturer who lost his license to practice law in his home state!!!
