Today, President Obama effectively declared war on the Supreme Court. Speaking from the Rose Garden, he suggested that the “unelected” Supreme Court must avoid the “extraordinary … unprecedented” measure of striking down his unconstitutional Obamacare regime:
Ultimately, I am 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 …
This is not the first time Obama has threatened the Supreme Court. Back in January 2010, in his State of the Union Address, he dramatically misrepresented the Supreme Court’s stance on campaign finance, and explained, “Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign corporations – to spend without limit in our elections.” Justice Alito shook his head and mouthed, “Not true.” That’s because it wasn’t true – but Obama’s interpretation of Constitutional law is lacking at best, deeply dishonest at worst.
Obama is now tackling a strategy stated by Rep. Jim Clyburn this morning – he’s going after the Supreme Court as his bête noire, knowing they cannot respond. But he’s bound to fail for a simple reason: the American public understands that the law is unconstitutional. Obama is no FDR, and nobody is interested in packing the courts to raise their taxes and devastate the economic future of the country.

They better be careful.if they keep speaking against obama he can throw them in jail til he sees fit.
And Obama has no care for constitutional law.he is above the law.typical for a person like him with power.
Obama ought to shut his trap. By taunting the Justices, they may be more likely to strike down his agenda by greater margins!
He is poking the hornets nest for sure!
ignorance coupled with arogance is unsurpased in the "liar in chief".
having lived a number of years; i've never seen anything like this man. he's truly one of the greatest community organizers i've ever seen. sal alinsky would be proud. out of his league...
lol, could have swore the same rhetoric of "judicial activism" has long been spouted by the right. I'm not saying Obama is right, just saying that if you plan on bashing him hear, then you need to call yourselves out as well.
Tell me when any other so called president has openly threatend the supreme court..... I hope now they have a greater margin of vote against him to put him in his place. What an arrogant ass.
ha ha, where was this so-called "threat" 8:04?
This statement came from a man who graduated from the most prestigious law school in the world. He is either supremely stupid or a budding dictator. He says "judicial review" is UNPRECEDENTED?! What??? He is so in over his head it is not even funny anymore. He lambasts the Supreme Court for being "unelected" but appointed DOZENS of "czars" to write laws and regulations (in order to bypass the normal approval processes)? He revealed his complete incompetence with that little lecture. Even high schoolers know what he apparently DOESN'T. I'll bet his own kids know the Supreme Court has the power he thinks they don't....
This man will stop at nothing to complete his agenda.It's hard to believe that he has any supporters at all.
