Who decides what is an “extraordinary” situation? Do any of you know the answer?

Our country fast becomming a socialist nation is pretty much extraordinary at every level....sometimes you have to go ahead with something that's right even if it might break someones rules....if you're wrong then apologise after. I am hoping Newt will do what he has to to stop where're we're headed and I have no doubt he'd lay it on the line to get us out of this mess.

But you’re assuming that it’s president Newt who declares a situation “extraordinary” and ignores a supreme court ruling that is not to our (conservative’s) liking. But would you give the same power to a president Obama to declare a situation “extraordinary” and ignore a supreme court decision that we like? Let’s say the supreme court rules that obamacare is unconstitutional and Obama declares an “extraordinary” situation by making up some story about medical costs bankrupting the country, and he then decides to ignore the Supremes, would you go along with that?
