Witness the Obama Administration’s initial decision to defend DOMA against constitutional attack, only later to abandon its defense of the law.

Senator Leahy (D-VT) demanded that Chief Justice Roberts vote to uphold Obamacare while speaking on the senate floor. Leahy is the head of the senate judiciary committee and this is considered a warning shot to the Justices deciding the Healthcare law. What an arrogant prig.

Judicial activism is a very efficient way to advance a social agenda. It is precisely for this reason that its effects are so pernicious. In the Supreme Court, for example, one needs only to secure five out of nine votes to make new law. On some appellate panels, one need only secure two out of three votes in order to prevail.

The failure of this [affirmative action] strategy may very well backfire when the Supreme Court considers the Fisher case. The justices will be presented with several years’ worth of well-researched, richly-documented studies explicating the mismatch effect–with little or nothing from the other side of the matter beyond thinly-concealed allegations of racism.

This is nothing more than standard operating procedure for a Chicago politician. It is also a normal technique for a community organizer who has been trained in the tactics of Saul Alinsky. It is just such crude strong-arm tactics such as this which open Mr. Obama up to charges of being a typical South Chicago thug.

There is no way that Barack Obama has never heard of it or really believes it to be “unprecedented” after two centuries of countless precedents. In short, he is simply lying. – Thomas Sowell

“What’s upsetting this president is that the dirty work of the prior congress, which was thrown out by the American people, now we have a new congress, he wants that dirty work to stand. And if this Supreme Court strikes down the individual mandate or the entire Obamacare bill it goes to a different congress doesn’t it. It goes to one where the House is controlled by Republicans. So he is desperate to save this law or as much of it as he possibly can. And he’s going to continue, I think, to politically attack the Suprem Court.” Megyn Kelly and Mark Levin discuss Obama’s attempt to bully the Supreme Court.

Obama’s attempt to intimidate the Supreme Court and deceive the public with his false remarks about precedent and the constitutionality of the Supreme Court’s decisions drew fire from a federal judge who demanded a three page single spaced brief on the president’s position from the Department of Justice.

If the court upholds Obamacare, a precedent will be set by which the federal government will be emboldened and empowered to make laws based on what it decides is in the “best interests” of the American people – eat your veggies, take your vitamins, get your exercise, don’t smoke, don’t drink, drive a hybrid, buy only government-approved energy efficient light bulbs… The list goes on and on.
