The Obama Administration's penchant for ignoring the US Constitution is, once again, on display.
On several occasions here at IntellectualConservative, both as a poster to commentary and as an author of said commentary I have questioned the President's allegiance to both the rule of law and the US Constitution. Just last week, the latest intentional disregard of that document was again on display for all to see.
March 17th of 2011, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1973 demanding an immediate cease fire in Libya. The resolution also demanded that Col. Qadhafi relinquish all gains his Army had earned since they turned the tide on the revolutionaries in early March. The resolution went on to mandate the establishment of a "no-fly" zone over Libya to restrict Col. Qadhafi's use of his air assets against the revolutionaries and his civilian population.
Since Barry Soetoro was inaugurated, I've documented his penchant for the disregarding laws he doesn't like; along with his disturbing habit of using the Dept. of Justice to selectively enforce or decline to enforce duly enacted laws that conflict with his political ideology. Examples of such are legion, and not worth enumerating here once again. Suffice it to say that the evidence that our current Commander-in-Chief cares little for the US Constitution and even less for American citizens is overwhelming.
I'll also state, for the record, that each time I've pointed out this person's proclivity for simply ignoring stare decisis I've been set upon by progressive of posters on this site as some type of rabble rousing, extremist, revolutionary myself.
Now we have Barry's ideological mindset on full display. Unlike his predecessor, President Bush sought and received both Congressional and Senatorial authorizations to act militarily in Iraq. Democrats eventually began to demand the impeachment of President Bush for acting under that authorization.
According to both the US Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Resolution the President has no authority to deploy armed forces to action abroad unless one of two conditions are met: He must either be able to prove the US is under direct attack or a serious threat of attack, or he must first obtain the authorization of the US Congress. The War Powers Resolution further requires the President to officially notify Congress of any commitment of military action.
To date; President Soetoro has met neither of these criteria. However; his immediate orders to launch cruise missiles and have air assets bomb command and control targets in Libya speaks volumes. This president not only selectively chooses to enforce or ignore established law in accordance with his wishes; he apparently will dispense with Congress at his whim as well. The only conclusion one can draw from this situation is that President Soetoro considers the United Nations to be a higher authority than the Congress of the United States.
During past discussions of his playing fast and loose with the rule of law progressives always manufactured some flimsy excuse as to why the present set of circumstances outweighed, and therefore explained his lack of allegiance to duly passed constitutional law. In this specific case Obama lied; people died. Where are the leftist protesters that should be screaming and carrying signs outside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Where are the Congressional demands for an immediate impeachment proceeding? Surely, this has to about as bipartisan an issue as we will ever find under current circumstances.
Another Pearl Harbor and 911 event for the world only this time America is accountable for it.
The DEMs went viral against Bush acting as the worlds police,
yet here they are doing it.
“According to both the US Constitution and the 1973 War Powers Resolution the President has no authority to deploy armed forces to action abroad unless one of two conditions are met: He must either be able to prove the US is under direct attack or a serious threat of attack, or he must first obtain the authorization of the US Congress.

Yes, these are established, unquestionalble facts. Yet the Congress DOES NOTHING about it. Why are there no cries for impeachment of this non-American, law-breaking tyrant? Where are the checks and balances of the Congress? Why is the news media (except FOX of course) not filled with this travesty upon America? When will the Congress see that all of this stream of deliberate law-breaking and anti-Constitutional atrocities is to keep focus off of the American takeover, called “Obamacare”? Where is the Congress??
BWAHHAHA!
That clock almost makes looks like he’s about to go down on...
Nevermind.
Yes, Soetoro is finally in clear impeachment territory.
If you speak to a liberal ask them how they like being America world police in Libya, and ask them who they will vote for in 2012 if they oppose police actions.
Hope they say Kucinich...
But since they're so brilliant, they'll do it right, don't you know, so it's a good thing they're running things. /S
Impeach
Incarcerate
Deport
LOL
I agree, but you’d have to do the same to Joe Biteme and Plastic Pelousy.
Not a bad idea though!
“Yes, Soetoro is finally in clear impeachment territory”
I think so too. We are saving a really nice bottle of Cabernet to drink while we listen to the reading of the Articles of Impeachment.
Obama is not a policeman nor civil servant. He is methodically deconstructing our institutions. They all wanted him in this Marxist way, the destroyer with promises of hope & change. He is succeeding! These are perilous times. Obama is nobodies fool. Mock him at your peril as he is the Devil.
