Obama & The Supreme Court
Among the most memorable events in last evening's State of the Union speech by President Obama was his galling upbraiding of the Supreme Court for its decision protecting freedom of speech.
His abrasive mention of that decision while he looked right at the members of that court seated in the front row spoke volumes about this man and his disdain for anyone who dares disagree with him on any topic.
His pomposity has rankled me since I first witnessed it, and he has since honed that 'attribute' to a fine edge.
There are three "equal" branches of government for a reason. The reason is called "checks and balances" and it is especially important today when there is, until Scott Brown is seated, absolute control of two of the three branches by the Democrats. Imagine how Obama will change the Supreme Court's make-up if and when he has the opportunity. Imagine how the President, without a Republican majority in the Senate, will alter the face of that court.
If we are reeling from the first year of President Obama and the Democrat Congress, we 'ain't' seen nothin' yet!
