Only they are not putting a new constitution in writing.

No need. Instead, they're simply engaging in parallel processing. There are two separate programs running at the same time: The Rule of Law, which operates under the Constitution, and the Rule of Obama, which ignores and/or deliberately undermines any laws not to his taste. He is gradually working toward his ultimate goal, which is to take the Rule of Law permanently off-line.

Bottom line to “Constitutional law professor (BS) Barack Obama”

Rule 101 of Rules of Federal Civil Proceedure: “Don’t F with the Courts.”

wanted to get a clear statement from DOJ on the role of the courts

It was appropriate that the 5th Circuit carry out this politically delicate, but necessary, task. It saved SCOTUS from getting into the fray and possibly tarnishing its perceived impartiality.

“You Mean There is someone In Washington that has Grown a Pair?”

Nope. The appellate argument took place before the federal court of appeals in Houston, Texas.

Well...the courts need to take a stand in Obama’s political war against the constitutional authority of the courts. If they are silent, they lose their power as a co-equal branch of government to a Marxist.

Mr. Obama is playing with fire. The courts can scalp him if judges and attorneys see their power slipping away. They are as power hungry as he is.

ask the President is he has EVER argued a case in ANY Court of law, not as a student, as a professional attorney. One case. Just one. Has he ever?

The answer is: no, he has not.

This whole contretemps reminds me of a curious finding by Stanley Kurtz, reported in his book "Radical-in-Chief".

Attempting to discover who Obama really was, Kurtz interviewed everybody he'd ever worked for. Seems that Obama never completed anything he started and left every job he ever had complaining of "not having enough power."

Having left one job, he then sought a post which would give him more power. That's why he went to Harvard, for example -- because a Harvard degree would allow him to accrue "more power."

The progression from community organizer to the State Senate, to the U.S. Senate to the Presidency was all a part of this quest for "more power."

From this, it is obvious that Obama's concept of "power" is childlike -- that of a juvenile's. In his mind, power isn't earned, persuasion and trust aren't integral to it. Instead, it is conferred by one's office.

To Obama, "power" is defined by making people do what you want them to do. All you have to do is issue a command. And, now, he inhabits the most powerful office in the free world. The "power" is his.

And he believes the SCOTUS should do his bidding. He has commanded them to do so. And he cannot conceive why they would deny him.

Of course, he will ignore their ruling!

This ignorant man-child is going to bring serious trouble down on all our heads.

Interesting. Okay, how about scary? By the way, would an airline allow a mother with a 4 day old aboard in 1961? I’m thinkin’ ‘no’ but that’s just a guess.

Law is politics, politics is law.

What Obama did was perfectly legal, but unethical. Thugish. We would never see George Bush try to spin a court case while judges are contemplating its outcome. He had respect for the American system and those with opposing ideas.

These courts, these judges, have every right to throw a brush back pitch in the presidents face. I'm getting sick and tired of everyone giving this jack wagon whatever he wants because it's racist not to.

This spoiled brat, gangsta A-hole in the oval office has played the race card for 50 years. It's high time it come to an end.

The SOB is owed no more respect than Hugo Chavez. Obama earned this slap in the face.

Obama HUSSEIN IS NO SCHOLAR OF ANYTHING!!
Why else has he forbid anyone to see His Academic Records, His Test Scores, or any and all witnesses to his Scholarly Pursuits! let alone any other records of HIS EXISTENCE, AT ALL!!
Imagine the Media allowing Sarah Palin to lock up Her Past! or McPAIN! or any of the Bushes, or Romney, or Santorem or Paul, let alone Gingrich!!

The Birth certificate is a Fraud! and thats the smallest Attack Obama HUSSEIN and His Handlers have perpetrated on Our Beloved AMERICA!!

george Soros has bragged on TV that he will destroy America with Obama HUSSEIN as his Puppet and that the Stimulus Program was HIS alone, designed to Destroy America!
Why does Our Government allow one Jew Hating, Billionaire
Scumbag to hold America and all of Us Citizens Hostage, and Destroy Us one by One from within Our Hallowed Oval Office, while Our Brave Soldiers are Slaughted in Afghanistan and Elsewhile because of Obama HUSSEIN’s Treasonous Rules of Engagement!!
WAKE UP AMERICA!! This is just not an Election in 2012! Its Fighting for the Salvation of America from Muslim terrorists led by Obama HUSSEIN and His Puppeteers!! and the Communists Parties of the United States and the World!!

I’m downloading an audio file of the 5th Circuit hearing. I haven’t had the chance to listen to it all but the first minute or so I heard, it’s definitely that courtroom. The file is at

http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/OralArgRecordings/11/11-40631_4-3-2012.wma

Starts at about 18 minutes in I hear.
