FW: Video: Gingrich Warns Obama About Impeachment

5 Responses to “the president does not have a Constitutional authority to unilaterally suspend laws, this is tyranny. This is not a anti gay issue. This is an issue of the president unconstitutionally usurping more power”

   Uh, Orly. President Obama did not suspend enforcement of DOMA, so the video is wrong. All that has happened is that DOJ has decided it will no oppose lawsuits challenging the Act because several courts have held the law to be unconstitutional.

   Here’s an analogy: Suppose there were a law passed that prohibited women from receiving their husbands’ federal benefits after he died. A number of widows sue, arguing that this violates equal protection, and the district courts agree — the law is unconstitutional because it discriminates against married women. The President, as the Chief Executive, is obligated to enforce the law and order the agencies not to pay benefits to women, but at the same time recognizes the illegality of this so he decides that the DOJ will not defend the law and allow it to go up to the Supreme Court where there is a good probability that the high court will strike down the law and Congress will then recognize the error of the Act.

   Other Presidents have taken the same tack against laws they believed were indefensible.

   The Left Wing Whack Jobs tout Obummer as a so called Constitutional Scholar….What an utter and complete joke that is. I wouldn’t be surprised that in the end it turns out he never even went, let alone graduated from Law School. It seems he has no grasp of how our “Checks and Balances” system is supposed to work. I mean, I learned these things when I was in Grade School. What’s his problem? Inquiring minds would like an answer.

   Perhaps it is that Obama does not see himself as a “Constitutionally legitimate president” but, rather, as someone who has used the system to gain power to Topple it.

   Strangely, Al Qaeda said, after 9/11, that it would “decapitate” our government “from the top” in a way that we would not understand until it was too late.

   Could THIS be what they meant?

   Heaven preserve us!
