Really, Mr. President, you don't understand how an "unelected" group of people can strike down a bill? Ever heard of Separation of Powers or checks and balances? You can't govern by fiat, Mr. Obama.
Uneccessary comments. Just continues to make our entire government in all three branches look inept.
And I thought the RW hated activist judges..unless it's their activist judges.
Complaining about activist judges (which both sides do) is completely different from saying their branch of the government isn't legit, because they aren't elected. They're separate but EQUAL branches, Mr. Obama. You would be outraged if they disrespected you, but you feel free to disrespect them all the time.
Speaking of unelected, I don't remember voting for Eric Holder, yet he chooses to ignore laws that congress has passed. Different? How?
Forcing people at gunpoint to purchase a product certainly, has more parallels to communism than "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
1) Nobody is being forced at "gun-point." There is a fine. Governments levy fines.
2) The individual mandate was a Republican idea from the 1990s. It was championed by the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Quote:
Conservative economists developed the concept in the late 1980s, when they were searching for a market-based alternative to the government-sponsored, universal health-care system liberals were proposing. Mark Pauly, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, suggested offering tax credits to help everyone buy at least minimal "catastrophic" insurance, and he proposed making it mandatory to get coverage. The conservative Heritage Foundation latched onto the idea, and pitched it to Republicans in Congress.

So, unless your suggesting that the GOP and the Heritage Foundation are Communist also, your argument has no merit.
This just shows what the mentality of this president is....the Supreme court will rule according to the rule of LAW and the CONSTITUTION....and that shows just EXACTLY what obama thinks about the constitution. He has...and always will....view it as an OBSTACLE....something to be circumvented....an 'inconvenience'.
This guy is DANGEROUS. It's time the people of this country woke up
Investigations by The New York Times, CNN, and other news organizations concluded that Obama did not have a close relationship with Ayers.[2][3][4] Ayers served on two nonprofit boards with Obama. Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, hosted a gathering at their home in 1995,[5] where Alice Palmer introduced Obama as her chosen successor in the Illinois State Senate.[3][6]
The matter was initially raised by Sean Hannity and other hosts on conservative talk radio programs.
