Does the President think that everyone in his audience is misinformed? A strong majority? His healthcare bill passed 219 -212 in the house and 69-30 in the Senate. His statements about the judicial process are also quite concerning. Does the president believe our system of checks an balances to no longer be valid, hence resorting to vein threats to the justices of the supreme court? The Supreme Court exists to uphold constitutional law. If he believes his law to be constitutional , why is he so worried?
That being said, remember the states also have the power under the constitution to refuse any legislative enactments deemed unconstitutional.
"Article III, Section 2. U.S. courts have the power to rule legislative enactments or executive acts invalid on constitutional grounds. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Any court, state or federal, high or low, has the power to refuse to enforce any statute or executive order it deems repugnant to the U.S. Constitution. "
Folks, we should all be concerned about this level of arrogance. As I blogged about last week, this is the type of behavior aimed at unraveling the fabric of our great Democracy. The President is using his power unduly to try to support his special interest, to coerce the populace to support his reelection bid. This was shown last week in his misguided remarks about Trayvon Martin looking like the son he would have had. This is another comment, however innocent he may have thought it was, that riled up the masses, further supporting a movement that has convicted Tryvon's killer before a trial. Make no mistake about it, his murder was a absolute travesty, but we must follow the due process that our forefathers risked it all to establish.
Let us stand up together, and fight for our Freedom. Write to your Congressmen and let them know how you feel about these kinds of laws. Stay informed. Politics matters, and affects us all.
