Says power-mad Obama harbors 'extreme view'
on role of the Supreme Court and Constitution...
Appearing on Fox the other night, Judge Andrew Napolitano told Neil Cavuto that Barack Obama's flippant disregard for all other branches but the Executive is getting downright scary
(and that's just going by what he says in public):
Napolitano:
"I think the President is dangerously close to totalitarianism. A few months ago he was saying, the Congress doesn’t count. The Congress doesn’t mean anything. I’m going to rule by decree and administrative regulation.
Now he’s basically saying the Supreme Court doesn’t count. It doesn’t matter what they think. They can’t review our legislation. That would leave just him as the only branch of government standing, so I think he has some problems with understanding the Constitution or accepting limitations on his power.
Look, they are equal branches of government, but with respect to what the law means, or the Constitution means, the Court is superior to the President…
No President in modern times has questioned their authority. They’ve questioned the way the authority has been exercised – not their right to make the decision.
This is an extreme view of the Supreme Court and the Constitution, one that has not been articulated since Andrew Jackson was in the White House...."

If you don't think it could get any worse just re-elect this nut and see what happens next- Obama had Homeland Security order-up 650M bullets and bulletproof checkpoint booths for a reason.
