Former Obama Student: Obama's Ignorance of Constitution Embarrassing
by Breitbart News 11 hours ago

Prof. Thom Lambert of the University of Missouri Law School has responded with alarm to President Barack Obama's attack on the Supreme Court and the power of judicial review by recalling his own days as Obama's student at the University of Chicago.

Lambert, who writes for the "Truth on the Market" blog, not only studied under Obama, but also clerked for the federal judge who issued an order yesterday demanding that the Department of Justice clarify whether the government believed courts had the power to overturn constitutional laws.

Lambert wrote:

Thus, a Wall Street Journal editorial queried this about the President who “famously taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago”: “[D]id he somehow not teach the historic case of Marbury v. Madison?”

I actually know the answer to that question. It’s no (well, technically yes…he didn’t). President Obama taught “Con Law III” at Chicago. Judicial review, federalism, the separation of powers — the old “structural Constitution” stuff — is covered in “Con Law I” (or at least it was when I was a student). Con Law III covers the Fourteenth Amendment. (Oddly enough, Prof. Obama didn’t seem too concerned about “an unelected group of people” overturning a “duly constituted and passed law” when we were discussing all those famous Fourteenth Amendment cases – Roe v. Wade, Griswold v. Connecticut, Romer v. Evans, etc.) Of course, even a Con Law professor focusing on the Bill of Rights should know that the principle of judicial review has been alive and well since 1803, so I still feel like my educational credentials have been tarnished a bit by the President’s “unprecedented, extraordinary” remarks.

Lambert added: "Fortunately...[t]his morning, the judge for whom I clerked, Judge Jerry E. Smith of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, called the President’s bluff....I must say, I’m pretty dang proud of Judge Smith right now. And I’m really looking forward to reading that three-page, single-spaced letter."

The judiciary is appalled at Obama's comments. Everything out of Obama's mouth is political even to the extent that it slanders his own education and knowledge.

I will actually be surprised if Holder himself presents a 3 page letter to the appellate court. He already should be in contempt of Congress why not be in contempt of the court, too?
 
OBAMA ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
-- HIGHEST number of unemployed Americans IN HISTORY.
-- HIGHEST number of poverty level Americans IN HISTORY.
-- HIGHEST budget deficits IN HISTORY.
-- HIGHEST national debt IN HISTORY.
-- HIGHEST rate of increae of national debt IN HISTORY.
-- WORST depression in 70 years.
-- WORST housing market in 70 years.
-- WORST job market for African Americans IN HISTORY.
-- Most divisive political climate in 150 years.
-- Unprecedented Chicago thug-like bullying and threats against the Judicial Branch.
-- Most arrogant, snobbish Marie-Antoinette-style First Family IN HISTORY..
Congrats Mr. Obama... you really did "fundamentally transform" the U.S.... toward becoming one of those Third World cesspools that formed your character as you grew up.

I saw that Obama was trying to walk back those comments about judicial activism today and it wasn't too convincing. The spin and distortion already being propagated by the Obama regime is stunning. They are literally trying to say that Obamacare was a republican initiative. It leaves a guy speechless to see prevarication on that scale. It just seems like Barrack Obama will do anything and say anything so long as it gets him reelected. He hasn't ended a single war yet. He is still torturing prisoners at Guantanamo with no plans to close that facility. He has NOT united the American people and works as hard as he can to divide them. Yet all of the Obama supporters in P&R say they are still devoted to him and will vote for him again.
 
AK-47 loves his inflatable Obama boyfriend; not sure what the others' excuses are. Mental illness I guess.

I honestly don't think any of them are old enough to vote. Not one of them has ever exhibited the intelligence of an adult.
 
Either that or welfare recipients.

Seriously, I have a hard time believing Obama doesn't know better. Hopefully the parasite class hasn't achieved critical mass yet. We'll see in November.
