Lawless President?

We have a president with no respect for the constitution or his constitutional limits. It seems he feels that the constitution should only apply to him when it pleases him. He recently had a long meeting with Eric Holder and they decided that the Defense of Marriage Act didn't seem to them to be constitutional and on that bases they are not going to uphold the law. This means that if anyone breaks this law they will not prosecute the case.

The last time I checked it was not up to the executive branch to determine whether a law was constitutional or not. This is the job of the courts not the executive branch. Obama and his minions have done this sort of thing on multiple occasions. So far they have not been challenged on it by either the courts or the congress. As long as this continues I fear they will not be challenged on it at all.

This ought to be deeply distressing to every American. It is bad enough that we have a president who doesn't feel the constitution applies to him, but worse still is that we have a congress and a judiciary branch that isn't willing to meet or act on their constitutional obligations to keep the executive branch in check. I for one find this very distressing. What can the end of this be except a severe constitutional crisis.

Our president has decided to disobey and disregard a court ruling stopping Obama and the administration from blocking drilling for oil in the gulf. No one said anything to confront this and the media had nothing to say to alert the people to this issue.

Obamacare was declared unconstitutional in toto and yet they continue to implement it. When a judge makes such a ruling the unconstitutional law must be halted in all its implementations until the issue has been resolved. Once again Obama and the administration want this so badly that they don't care what the judicial branch has to say.

Obama doesn't want to support the law against gay marriage.

It is his constitutional OBLIGATION to support and execute the laws of the land, not to decide whether they are constitutional or not.

what is his justification for these things? He has none. Instead he attacks, ridicules or ignores any that question him on these things. This is an outrage and it ought to make everyone wonder what is going on. There ought to be calls from the congress for investigations and even possible impeachment due to his violation and open opposition to the constitution and the laws of the land. He is setting himself above the law.

With each step beyond his constitutional boundaries he takes he ruins the constitution for all of us yet more. Eventually there will be no turning back from that. Why there is any room given to this man to do things which are clearly against the constitution is a mystery to me. If this had been during the time of our founding fathers I have little doubt that he would have been out of office after he ignored the first judge's ruling. Most certainly after the second. Obama would have been confronted so strongly on the first occurrence that he would have been afraid to commit another.

Any president who refuses to support and enforce the laws of the land is a president that should be in danger of impeachment. Where are the oversight committees and investigations into these things. There ought to be at least the threat of an impeachment. It would seem nothing else will get the attention of this president. He seems to feel that he only needs to comply with the laws that he agrees with. If he doesn't agree with them he doesn't seem to feel he needs to comply, enforce, or even support them.

When senators have sent letters to the president requesting information or explanation about some action he's taken he simply ignores it and makes no response. The senators then send another request, this game goes on 2 or 3 times and then it is set aside. The senators we have are gutless and unwilling to do their jobs. Why are some of the highest people in the land afraid to follow through and do their jobs? Is it simply that they agree with him but just want to make it look like they're trying to do something about it?

If our congress is not willing to exercise the power they have under the constitution but yet are more than happy to violate it at every turn when it benefits them maybe they need to be impeached or recalled as well. Some kind of message needs to be sent that we are not going to continue to look the other way when our leaders commit constitutional violations.

If we allow this from our leaders we are no better than they are. It is said that a people gets the government they deserve and we should certainly consider what we've done to deserve this government and if there is anything that can be done to reverse. On the other hand it may be that we actually want this government. I'm not sure that a people always get the government they want, but it seems fairly certain they will get the government they deserve.
