Obama Bashes the Supreme Court
"Obamacare" is what President Barack Obama has named his new health care plan for our wonderful United States of America. The new law for health care reform was sent to the Supreme Court to debate on whether it should be mandated or shot down. When the president was asked about his thoughts on the Supreme Court's deliberation, he stated that he doesn't understand why the Supreme Court would turn down this health care reform, while calling them a bunch of "unelected officials". Mind you that Justice Sotomayer was appointed by Barack Obama himself. Here is Obama's exact quote: “I would just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint, that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and — and passed law. Well, there’s a good example, and I’m pretty confident that this court will recognize that and not take that step.” In anything that is sent to the Supreme Court, the justices that are appointed are there to make sure that our constitutional rights as U.S. citizens are not messed with. For Barack Obama to say the things he said, is completely demeaning to everyone that serves as a Supreme Court Justice. Obama also stated, “The point I was making is that the Supreme Court is the final say on our Constitution and our laws, and all of us have to respect it,” he said, “but it’s precisely because of that extraordinary power that the Court has traditionally exercised significant restraint and deference to our duly elected legislature, our Congress.” Now he wants to question whether or not it would be correct to have the Supreme Court mandate what is sent??? The system that our country has survived on in upholding our rights as American citizens is being questioned by the tyrant who is in office? With every piece of legislation that Barack Obama has put forth, there has been something within them that would strip U.S. citizens of our rights. Can we as Americans sit back and let our freedoms be taken away by our president? What can we do about it? I hope these chain of events opens the eyes of Obama enthusiasts and at least makes them double check on their beliefs.
