I have to disagree SWAMP. What Obama is doing is somewhat clever. He is using the very same rhetoric that we on the right have been using for some time. Let’s be honest with ourselves. We conservatives have criticized numerous courts for enacting liberal laws through “judicial activism”. Obama is mocking us publicly, and I fear he may score some serious political points with his mockery. What we on the right must do is explain to the public the difference between “judicial activism” (which is what liberal judges engage in) and correctly interpreting the Constitution (which is what conservative judges do.) If we don’t answer Barry’s taunts with clear, reasoned arguments, he may win the battle, at least the battle of public opinion.

True. But we argue against courts that uphold UNCONSTITUTIONAL law. Barry is criticizing the possibility that the Court might perform it's intended function. Not the quite the same.

You’ve got to realize just how ignorant or stupid many of the Obamabots are. They aren’t capable of enough abstract thought to understand what they’re doing.
