Obama Ignores Constitution
[From article]
"'I can take care of my enemies all right," Warren Harding once said. "But my friends, my damn friends, they're the ones that keep me walking the floor nights!"
[. . .]
The fundamental question in the ObamaCare case is whether there is any constraint on the ability of Congress to regulate economic activity. Do we still live in a system of dual sovereignty, split between the federal government and the states, as set out by the Constitution? Does the federal government only have certain enumerated powers? Is anything beyond its ambit? Judge Kessler's argument is a ringing "no" on all three counts.
[. . .]
When President Obama is faulted during the next Mideast crisis for his passivity, he can shoot back that he's really quite active -- he's deciding not to do anything. We now know that this constitutes robust -- muscular, even -- activity."
