How many times was he rebuked by SCOTUS 9-0 for overstepping his authority?

Send them to those who support Netanyahu. They could put those references to good use.

If anyone is really concerned go here and sign the petition for Kates Law. Force Obama to make a statement.

Bill O'Reilly: Pass Kate's Law ASAP
The petition is addressed to the Senate and House Majority leaders, not Obama.

Congress will not address this before they embark on the scheduled 5 week recess.

Once.

Obama and Executive Overreach

And as you also know, he has had some very significant Supreme Court victories.

Sometimes the best way to deal with children throwing temper tantrums is to ignore them.
Temper tantrums? How many times has Obama used his veto pen? A handful, maybe.

You know you dems whine and cry about how the Republicans are out to get Obama, and deny him legislation. But Obama is becoming known as the president with the least amount of vetos for over a century. The Republicans are giving Obama everything he wants. All the past presidents wished they had a legislative branch as compliant and cooperative as this one.

Has there ever been or will there ever be a president whose actions will match the ideology of all Americans?

Same can be said for Congress and the SCOTUS.

Based on posts to this thread, seems many paint with a broad brush.
