Married to the same woman... his one and only wife for... how many years? 19?

Did Ronald Reagan manage that?

John McCain?

Newt Gingrich?

You must have very different cats in your alley.

So what does that say about you in the multiple times you've deemed things "unconstitutional"? A quick search revealed that you've used that term 70+ times?

It is indefensible.
Only the Supreme Court can do what so many of you think Obama did here. What he did here is fire himself for 2012.

Actually anybody who can't see that he was trying to get a new group on his side is not able to see that according to the Constitution he can't declare anything unconstitutional without the help of the Supreme Court.

Can you tell me the Supreme Court ruling that says what you are saying?

I wonder what will happen if the Republican who takes over the position in 2013 decides he doesn't want to allow the Obama care law to go on. I guess he has set a precedent for that one and he/she can declare his favorite law unconstitutional and it goes by the wayside. I guess you can't see this possibility though.

Sorry, but he can't just use executive power to do things like this and always get by with it. I bet that even Kagan wouldn't vote for him on this one. That would be 6 - 3 but I doubt that the other three would vote for him, either.

I think that we must have a link to that claim by you. You don't just pull them out of your butt and fling them at us.
