oh, now he decides to tell the truth.
Obama just reads the words , he doesn’t have to listen or understand himself
NSS!
Carney is such an A-Level Obama liar that just his saying this makes me have to re-think my position.
.
It’s whatever.
“Constitutional Scholar” my arse.
I read his class materials.
Average.
Despite Jay Carney being on the right side of this issue in this one instance. He can just suck it. He aided and abetted Obama from day one of his tenure and continued until he left. Having remorse or ideals or convictions after you’ve help destroy this country now that you’re supposed to be a “frigging journalist” ain’t gonna cut it.
Just suck it, Jay.
Only heard that clip, not the whole panel discussion, but I was surprised that CNN was contrasting what he said and what he did, in no uncertain terms.
All of these fascist know exactly what they are doing, the are just bullying their way into power. Blatant power grabs. In your face power grabs.
Anyone else find it interesting how both of Oba-mao’s former press secretaries (Gibbs and Carney) have since regularly become some of the Kenyan Marxist’s most outspoken critics?
Based upon his performance today and his demonstrated knowledge of the constitution, I do not consider him a ‘constitutional scholar.’ If anything he is working to disestablish rather than to support and defend the constitution.
Unless congress is willing to check the power of a president, a president, ANY president, has LIMITLESS power.
Obama could break into Rush's how tomorrow, shot him in the head and off his dog too just for kicks and there's not a damn thing ANYONE could do to stop it.
Obama could declare everyone in central and south america US citizen as of today, and there is nothing ANYONE could do to stop it.
As long as congress is unwilling to act to stop him, Obama has unlimited power.
Even the courts can't stop him. He will just ignore any ruling they make. Saying something to the effect of, the Supreme Court has ruled... now let them try to enforce it!
Uyghur, PLEASE!
...and I'm the Queen of England.
OBAMA IS NOT A “CONSTITUTION SCHOLAR” BY ANY DEFINITION!!!
Don't Worry - Be Happy!
Anyone that has a few moments to skim the “Constitutional Law Scholar’s” class Exams from his Law Lecturer Days, here is the link to the NYTimes blog with about 10 or so clickable links to scanned copies.
Be prepared to be “underwhelmed”.

Jay is the absolute epitome of ‘punk’.
I think we need to understand that Carney, Cooper, Obama, and the lot have a diachronic understanding of the world. For them the only thing important about the constitution is how it got us to where we are now. Everything that happened in between is just as important. When we hear “he’s doing something he thinks is unconstitutional” it means something different to them then it does to us. Obama has said as much. There is no grand narrative (like the enlightenment) there is only discourse and who controls it. Nothing else matters, not God, not science, not reason, all of those are socially constructed by the dominant discourse.
