[T]his year’s election is a two-fer: as goes the presidency, so goes the federal judiciary — including, most likely, control of the Supreme Court. – Daily Caller

Given the president’s end-runs around Congress, his shredding of the Constitution and his assault on the authority of the courts, a second term free of electoral restraints may be a frightening prospect. – IBD Editorials

At some point Obama will be gone. But the restrictions that prevented such behavior have been seriously weakened. How long is it before someone worse than Obama ascends to power and finishes the job, transforming the US into a totalitarian state?

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.

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.

Obama has never like the Constitution. It limits his power to fundamentally transform America too much. Did he flunk law school? Is that why he won’t release his grades?

From its birth (pardon the pun), the unpopularity of Obamacare has proven politically poisonous for the democrats.

Since the law was passed over the overwhelming rejection of the voters its validation would cement the dictatorship of the Party in the transformation of America from what we have known into what we would never choose. The Court appears to be our last line of defense. But where does the Supreme Court get its power?
