nobama, youse been nailed!

[skeeter]

I heard his presser - despite being an obstinate punk, apparently Obama isn't very smart.

Maybe his constituency will buy the crap he was selling, but anyone with a high school education won't.

[allmendream]

Unsure that ‘0bamacare’ runs afoul of the Commerce clause so much as it assumes powers NOT granted via the commerce clause.

And another point regarding 0bama’s statement - a law is not judged on a sliding scale by how strong the majority that passed it was. Not that ‘0bamacare’ was either bipartisan or passed by a large majority in the first place; but even assuming it was - an Unconstitutional law is not given special deference because it was passed by a larger majority of Congress.

"Congress refused to act, so I did!" BHO-paraphrased.
"Congress will 'deem' what is Constitutional and the Supreme Court can bite me!" SanFranNan-paraphrased.
"I will issue Executive Orders to by-pass Congress for oppressive enviro-standards, and kill BIG COAL!" BHO-paraphrased.<
"The Supreme Court has no Army and cannot tax,so they are irrelevant!" J F'n Kerry-paraphrased.

I smell a dictatorship brewing and impending cancellation of the Constitution.

Regarding the commerce clause.

Currently the power granted Congress to regulate commerce between the states is viewed as the power to regulate commerce between the states, commerce within a state that may have an effect upon interstate commerce, or any activity that may have an effect upon interstate commerce.

The SCOTUS is now going to judge if this power to regulate commerce between the states is also the power to regulate NON-activity that may have an effect upon interstate commerce.

In other words, is there ANY limit WHATSOEVER on the power of Congress to regulate any activity or non-activity that has any effect whatsoever upon commerce between the states?

If our founders wanted Congress to have the power to regulate all commercial activity that could effect interstate commerce - including intrastate commerce - or non commerce - activity or inactivity; then why did they specify that the power ONLY covered commerce BETWEEN the states - not all commerce or activity that could effect commerce?

[basil]

Looks like he's been nailed with a railroad spike!

However, being obammy, he doesn't care. He's counting on our dumbed down electorate, the ones that are second, third, fourth generation welfare recipients to elect him again.

I'm afraid it just might happen that way.

[BitWielder1]

He derides the Supreme Court as "Unelected" while conveniently forgetting that his Czars, EPA hacks etc. are also unelected.
Each SC member was at least scrutinized by congress while his minions were not.
Stones and Glass Houses, Mr. President.

[3rdcoastislander]

Wow this Schreiber guy has a great arguement. I wish someone in the GOP had the intellect and speech to put Obama down like that. It would be awesome to see his face if someone read him that letter.

[wizr]

KEEP IT UP, Chuck!

I just put this in my email and sent it out for all to read.

May God make it go viral.

Thanks!

[Rummyfan]

Those statements are so indicative of ignorance of not only Constitutional Law but basic civics that I don’t even know where to begin.

Ignorance and arrogance is a bad combination!

[RC2]

I hope this letter was sent to the President.

[70th Division]

“I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress,” Obama said.

I think it was like two votes. What a douche bag.

[The Great RJ]

What scares me about Obama’s remarks is he not only apparently ignorant of the limits the the Constitution places on the power of the federal government and how there is a built in system of checks and balances to prevent one branch of government becoming all powerful, but he doesn't really give a damn. To Obama the niceties of the Constitution are just obstacles to his goal of remolding America into a socialist state with an all powerful executive branch. If reelected I could easily see Obama continuing to ignore the Constitution, Congress and the courts and start ruling by decree little different than Caesar Chavez has done in Venezuela or Danny Ortega did in Nicaragua. Obama is a threat to the very survival of our Republic.

[Lou L]

What a fantastic reply. What's great about this, is that anyone with even a modicum of civics' knowledge understands the issues here: they understand the relationship between the USSC, the Legislative and Executive Branches of our government. It's just that Mr. Schreiber has stated this so eloquently.

A couple of thoughts, should the USSC overturn this law--

Will the President and Congress comply?

Will the GOP handle the decision correctly?

What will next year's SOTU speech be like, with Obama addressing both Congress and members of the USSC? I say he will handle it differently, depending on whether or not he's re-elected.

‘Bammy knows all about about Constitutional Law ......he doesn’t care....and is wanting to find out just exactly what We the People will do about it.

Liberals ALWAYS push the boundaries as far as they can.. And we conservative remain comfortable enough to let them continue to getaway with it.

[MomwithHope]

BTT and I sent this around, great article.

[kcvl]

“went on to deceive a nation into crowning him president of the United States”

Liberals are such idiots so it's not that difficult to deceive them especially those in the MSM. All you have to do is put a “D” behind your name and you are brilliant! And someone as arrogant as Obama who lies about himself (& everything else) all the time and MSM too lazy to check him out pulled a whopper over the American people and continues to try to elevate this moron to sainthood!

[sneakers]

Yep!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Every time you denigrate the Court and its Justices, who have more legal knowledge in their smallest toenail than you have in your entire body

Justice Pat, Vader Ginsburg, and the Wise Latina excepted.
