Obama Corrupts Constitution

[From article]
"“I believe the House Republicans next week should pass a resolution instructing the president to enforce the law and to obey his own constitutional oath, and they should say if he fails to do so that they will zero out [defund] the office of attorney general and take other steps as necessary until the president agrees to do his job.

“His job is to enforce the rule of law and for us to start replacing the rule of law with the rule of Obama is a very dangerous precedent."

[From article]
"As Orin Kerr noted on the influential legal blog, the Volokh Conspiracy: "By taking that position, the Obama administration has moved the goalposts of the usual role of the Executive Branch in defending statutes. Instead of requiring DOJ to defend the constitutionality of all federal statutes if it has a reasonable basis to do so, the new approach invests within DOJ a power to conduct an independent constitutional review of the issues . . . It changes the role of the Executive Branch in defending litigation from the traditional dutiful servant of Congress to major institutional player with a great deal of discretion."

What, after all, does Barack Obama truly stand for, if not -- first, last and always -- Barack Obama?"
