Obama was a Constitutional Law professor. I am sure he is.

Also, to make disperaging remarks without data points or supporting facts, (i.e. the actual Bill number, article number or executive order number signed), is in itself dishonest. Thusly, you will not get the respect that you feel you may be intitled to. You will get the respect of a dishonest person. You should identify these facts before you make the statement.

Obama should watch this. He is unaware of a separation of powers. He thinks the executive makes law. One example of this is his waiver of the welfare work requirements.

No! The judiciary's role is to apply the law, not interpret it. To say that their job is to interpret the law is to give them the power to rewrite it. If their job is to interpret the law, who is anyone else to say that they misinterpreted it? The judiciary is supposed to apply the law.
