United States Supreme Court justices fail to applaud their being insulted, all of them. If Obama was trying to gain populist favor by his remark it was neither the time nor target for it. Attacking the Court does not elicit populist cheers like attacking banks, insurance companies or lobbyists.
Obama has been very critical even of the liberal Warren court. Why does he do it? He does it because the Constitution was written to protect the American people from those with an agenda like Obama’s and the Supreme Court is the peoples defender of the Constitution. The Constitution was an impediment to Wilson who tried to change its composition. It was an impediment to FDR whose NRA the Court declared unconstitutional. It is an impediment to Obama’s big government agenda for America.
Hooray for the Supreme Court !!
And so it sat.
