<<< Why we all - Dems and Republicans, Libertarians and Independents, must fight for the continuance of Constitutional High Regard.
According to the Washington Times, Obama's win/lose record before the High Court is the poorest of all modern time presidents, at one point losing 15 of his first 25 court appearances. In fact, in 2012, he lost more decisions than he won, proving his disregard for Constitutional boundaries. See this Times report, here. Keep this in mind as you read the following.

From Breitbart.com because no one else will run this
story:
In 2007, then-Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) attended
a fundraiser where he blasted President Bush, telling the crowd, “I was a
constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I
actually respect the Constitution.” President Obama, however, has been far less
respectful of the Constitution that Senator Obama purportedly was. In fact,
Obama has steadily violated a bevy of Constitutional provisions ranging from
separation of powers to specific elements of the Bill of Rights and subsequent
amendments.
This week, Obama unilaterally decided to tell insurance companies
that they could now allow sale of plans in the individual insurance market that
Obamacare had prevented, forcing five million Americans off the health plans
they liked. As Ken Klukowski of Breitbart
News has written, this is a violation of the Constitutional separation of
powers:
Obama’s announcement is a flagrant and undeniable violation
of his constitutional duty under the Take Care Clause.
The provisions of
Obamacare causing enormous trouble for insurance plans are mandatory, and only
Congress can change those parts of the Affordable Care Act. [and this is true because ObamaCare is not "established law" to use Obama's own description of this law ~ blog editor]
[Obama's violation of "established law"]
But . . . . . Obama has a history of violating the
Constitutional balance of powers. As Kimberly Strassel of the Wall
Street Journal has noted, he has unilaterally suspended enforcement of
immigration law; he has refused to prosecute drug law violators; he simply
stopped defending federal laws he didn’t like, like the Defense of Marriage
Act, in court; he issues waivers on Obamacare and the No Child Left Behind Act;
Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has attempted to regulate carbon
emissions when Congress didn’t push through a global warming bill; he appointed
members of the National Labor Relations Board in violation of law; his
administration rammed through an auto bailout that screwed bondholders, as well
as a slush fund from British Petroleum. Strassel writes, “Mr. Obama came to
office promising to deliver a new kind of politics. He did—his own, unilateral
governance.”
