Is Nothing Sacred?

President Obama let loose with both barrels today in his public and iconoclastic warning to the Supreme Court that overturning his health-care law would be "unprecedented" (see: The Reuters Story)  ... which of course it wouldn't be ... such unconstitutional rulings are the reason d'etre for our highest court.  You would think that Obama who once "taught" the Constitution in college would be aware of this tidbit ... and thus, would not engage in such demagogic bombast.  The Drudge Report has even suggested that this attack on the Court might be because someone had leaked the results of last Friday's secret Supreme Court voting to the White House.  Now this truly would be unprecedented and a travesty of unimagined proportion.

But he wasn't finished ... Obama also said that such an action would be "judicial activism," exactly what Republicans have railed against.  Wrong again Mr. President!  Judicial activism is when courts create law out of whole cloth ... not when they overturn laws passed by Congress.  Negating bad law happens all the time ... just as our founders intended.  I suppose that The Barry can get away with such drivel when he has a dumbed-down electorate and a media that worships at the crease in his pants.  But such illogical flight-of-fancy is way below what our President should be uttering.  Moreover, he also once again demeaned the Supreme Court by snidely saying that they were unelected.  Does this include the two sycophantic Justices that you appointed too Mr. President?  Or are they somehow special?

And lastly, he elevated this Obamacare law by claiming it was passed democratically by a bipartisan "strong majority" in Congress.  Wrong again, Mr. Cool!  This law only made it through our legislature by the unsavory violation of its own rules, without a single Republican vote, and with numerous pork-laden bribes and unkept promises.  I am shocked that a bolt of lightening didn't at least strike near the President after he, so coolly, uttered such profane pap.  And yet life rolls on in our fair country as though nothing monumental has occurred.  Oh, but it has kind readers!  It has!  We have taken one more gigantic step toward Banana-Republicanism.
