    Default Why is the Obama Administration so contemptuous of the Constitution



    If you don’t already think that this administration is contemptuous of the Constitution and the rule of law, this article is unlikely to persuade you, because that’s not its primary focus. I have an almost-completed book manuscript circulating to publishers as we speak that addresses that issue in great detail, so to see the full case you will have to wait for that. (I’m also happy to consider speaking/debate invitations.)
    But for those of us who are already convinced that this has been an unusually lawless administration, it’s worth asking why especially since Obama ran–sincerely, I think–on fidelity to the Constitution and restoring the rule of law after the Bush Adminstration’s constitutional misadventures. The article elaborates on the following reasons:
    (1) The administration has aggressively pursued unilateral executive action in the domestic sphere because “political reality has crushed its dreams of a new era of progressive government.” If the Administration couldn’t achieve all of its progressive goals, it was sure as heck going to preserve Obamacare, even if it had to play fast and loose with the law.

    It is so damn contemptuous because Obama already knows how much more corrupt he will be his last two years. And how much more breaking of the Rule of Law and usurping the Constitution he will do!
    Last two years he plans on sealing one-party rule!! Thus effectively giving a dictatorship and the destruction of this nation as it was founded.
    He is a true traitor. A fact..-Tyr
