Obama and the Constitution

 

I would genuinely love to know where the current Administration gets its Constitutional authority for the take-over of private entities such as GM, medical insurance, banks and the like. I would love to know how you arrive at the idea that Obama is not violating the Constitution by creating a shadow government of unelected and unaccountable Czars empowered to make lasting changes on the American public without ever being discussed in the Congress. I want to know by what Constitutional authority he is spending money that can NEVER be paid-back? I want you to explain to us all - oh Constitutional scholar - just where in the Constitution does the power to fundamentally change our government into a Socialist one come from. Please tell me where does the federal government get its Constitutional power to usurp States rights? I for one can think of many egregious examples of the current (and former) Administrations overstepping the bounds of their Constitutional authority, but then I’m not as highly educated as some. How someone so learned could miss these many glaring examples (and more besides) and claim unabashedly that they do not see what all of the fuss is about defies logic. 

The argument that previous Administrations did it too, does not fly either. No other Administration before has done so much so fast in the history of the United States to fundamentally change this country into something that it was never intended to be. The framers had a very different understanding of the Constitution and its powers and limitations than dose the Obama Administration. I doubt seriously if many within the current Administration have even read, let alone take the Constitution seriously. The Constitution of the United States is not as many espouse a “living” document. The only “change” to its functioning requires a vote, and the office of the President does not get one no matter what the current occupant of the White House thinks!

By the way, there is no equivalence to what is happening today with the examples sited in your last post like women’s voting rights. Generational theft is not a right of the Federal Government.

As for Carter’s place in history, I’ll concede that his being the [worst ever] is my opinion and your take is yours. I just remember; the highest interest rates in history, the worst economy in history (excepting the “Great Depression”), the biggest American foreign policy humiliation in history and gas lines as just a few of the examples that bring me to that conclusion.

“Obama not violating the Constitution” would be laughable if it weren’t so very scarily true that he is.
