Our President, gotta love the guy, must think that he's the King or more dangerously, the Dictator in Chief.
I realize that his oath of office says that he will uphold and defend the US Constitution, but what he failed to understand is that oath does not give him the power to determine which laws fall under the unconstitutional category. That power lies with the judicial branch.
So King Obama has decided that he will not enforce DOMA. While I agree with him wholeheartedly that the law is stupid, not to mention unconstitutional on many levels. The fact of the matter is, it's still the law, signed in by Clinton by the way, and has not been challenged in a court of law so it has not been found unconstitutional and therefore, must be enforced.
Where is the media on this issue? Once again, I hear the crickets chirping. What do you think would happen if a Republican President, in the future refuses to enforce Obama Care? Or if Bush had refused to enforce the Clean Air Act? Yeah that would go over like a lead balloon.
This kind of power grab is dangerous by any president.

With the way his government is acting I get the feeling he plans to try to change that title to President-for-Life.
ReplyDeleteOh god forbid! I seriously think that the guy is way too self important and thinks that he's above the law.
