He blatantly lies AGAIN!!!
“Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.” bho 4/3/12
I doubt that the self-professed “Constitutional scholar” doesn’t know that the Supreme Court has struck down laws like obamacare only 1,315 times before. He uses his old tactic of telling a lie loud enough or often enough that the “sheeple” begin to believe it!
DON’T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“That's quite a sequence of lies by the President, all packed into a single, steaming sentence of manure:
• A "strong majority" of Congress? NOT!!! The bill was passed using a budget reconciliation maneuver that allowed it to bypass a Senate filibuster with just 51 votes.
• A "democratically elected" Congress? NOT!!! Actually, the 111th Congress had roughly a half-dozen appointed Senators and one turncoat (Arlen Specter), elected as a Republican but who switched to the Democrat Party.
• Unprecedented step of overturning a law? NOT!!! Oh, gee, Mr. Constitutional Scholar, as of 2002, the Supreme Court had only struck 1,315 laws down as unconstitutional, the first in 1803.
Does the arrogance of this President know no bounds?” (http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2012/04/constitutional-scholar-slash-golfer-in.html)

“The list would be too long for this format, but the US Supreme Court has declared a total of 1,315 laws (as of 2002, the most recent year for which statistics are available; the database may be updated in 2012) unconstitutional using the process of judicial review.
The first time the Court declared a federal law unconstitutional was in Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion for Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803), in which he asserted Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional because it extended to the Supreme Court an act of original jurisdiction not explicitly granted by the Constitution.
