Obama has made a mockery of the law and the Constitution.

I was just reading an article in the 60th anniversary edition of National Review. It was about the rule of law and how the Magna Charta was the beginning of it in England and all the countries which now base their laws on English Common Law.

It explained how revolutionary it really was and how our Constitution contains many things which originated with the Magna Charta.

Obama and to some extent, Clinton before him have simply made their own laws through executive orders which were not intended to be a non legislative implementation of whatever they wanted.

Of course the Courts have been doing the same thing since at least the Warren Court.

And it is those two things precisely which are responsible for most of the problems since FDR took office.

Of course the 16th and 17th Amendments laid the foundation for tyrannical, illegitimate government, but the abuse of the EO along with the Administrative State and its enabler, the Legislative Judiciary, are the nuts and bolts of modern Leftist hijacking of the Republic which once stood.
