One Of Obama's Harvard Professors Likened The President's Climate Change Policies To 'Burning The Constitution'

A Harvard professor who taught U.S. President Barack Obama torched his prized pupil last month on Capitol Hill. Constitutional scholar Lawrence Tribe, who also served in the Justice Department under Obama, testified last month during a House hearing that the president's climate change policies are similar to "burning the Constitution."

The 73-year-old Tribe argued that the Environmental Protection Agency is grossly overstepping its boundaries in respect to enforcing the president's doctrine. One conservative operative called the remarks "dazzling."

"EPA is attempting an unconstitutional trifecta: usurping the prerogatives of the States, Congress and the Federal Courts — all at once," Tribe insisted. "Burning the Constitution should not become part of our national energy policy."

Burning the Constitution would increase global warming.

I don’t recall Professor Tribe having any respect for the Constitution in the past.

Wow! And Lawrence Tribe is definitely no conservative. If he’s talking this way, you know what an awful nutty extremist Obama is.

A good illustration of just how friging extreme Obama is. His folks are authoritarian and unlikely to democratically cede power.

What the Obama Presidency has shown is that there are major changes needed with our Constitution! It might have to do with the lack of backbone of the Congress but there also needs to be some major restrictions on Presidential signings.

How do we know Tribe taught Obama anything? Have we seen any transcripts? No. I didn’t think so.
