Pendulum Back Swing


For years liberal judges across the nation have been "legislating from the bench."  That is striking down laws passed by state legislatures.  California's gay marriage being just one example.  Of course, liberal politicians have been cool with this.  Until now.  All of a sudden, Our Dear Leader is now concerned that Obamacare will be struck down by "unelected few." 

But the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit isn't taking Obama's comments laying down and causing Obama to back pedal on his initial comments. 

Speaking of comments, here's a sampling of responses from my friends:

This guy is unbelievable. The Court has overturned close to 200 Acts of Congress since 1789. Doesn't he read? I'm guessing no.   Oh, and there's nothing like trying to litigate a case in advance, in the media, in front of two foreign heads of state. Idiot.

Speaking of Constitutional idiocy, Powerline rolls-in on Obama's bona fides. 

You can tell the Obamas were pretty much political hacks when working at the University of Chicago. Michelle had been doing outreach work for the university making about $80k per year until her husband was elected to the Illinois State Senate. Then, suddenly she got a more than 350% pay raise to $300k per year. Amazingly, though, as soon as she left that position and the state to go live in DC, that job has gone completely unfilled. Kind of suspicious that a job of such importance that someone would get such a salary for apparently was actually unnecessary. But, that's typical for this city.

Typical, though, for most anything associated with politics.

Professor of Constitutional Law no less...Wish I could go hibernate the next administration...

I wish I could hibernate too.  I have other things I'd rather be watching, reading and doing on line, than dealing with this endlessly depressing stuff.  However, I keep telling myself, that remaining silent would be akin to acceptance.

Here's what we can expect if the US Supreme Court rules in favor of Obamacare...


...and this...
