"Obama took issue with a ruling that overturned two of the court's precedents and upended decades of restrictions on corporations being able to use their profits to finance campaigns for and against candidates." (taken from The Washington Post)
Kudos to Alito for his shaking his head and saying "Not true" as Obama stood there chastising the Supreme Court last night. We need more Alitos who will be clear on their stand in disagreement rather than the bobble heads who agree with Obama REGARDLESS of what comes out of his mouth.
Classically unprofessional and utterly unbecoming of a supposedly impartial instrument of the law.
The members of the Supreme Court are there to represent the third branch of government. They are not supposed to be pro or con. Like you said impartial.
The conservative members of the Supreme Court need to be thrown off on their heads and have their arses kicked. They really bring down the quality of the Court and the decisions. The conservative ideology stinks.
President Obama is absolutely right in his assessment.
Um, but it IS true. Foreign companies with a subsidiary in the US can contribute money for ad campaigns under this law. If it's not true, they need to be sure that's in the text of the law.
The whole law stinks and I am completely against it. I won't vote for any more corporate-owned candidates, Dem or Rep.

Isn't clarifying fact impartial? If not, why not? Is it because it made it clear that this great Constitutional law professor occupying the office of POTUS did not understand the ruling to which he chose to refer in his address?

Well, clearly, Obama was wrong. And for him to criticize the Supreme Court that way, is pure arrogance.
Obama didn't have a clue. Or he lied on purpose.
The Supreme Court upheld free speech. This was a victory for all Ameicans, when we have a President, and his administration, who are tryig to limit free speech. Obama would like to silence talk radio, for example. I think the Supreme Court just made it clear that he cannot. That is why Obama is "pissed".
Too bad "Barry". Go back to Kenya. Have a nice life. You aren't welcome here. Poorest excuse for a "president" I have seen in my lifetime.

Which is why it was so disgusting for 0bama to invite them to his SOTU speech, and then lie and insult them on national TV, while encouraging the legislative branch to join him.

Bingo.
