Study: Obama Had Worst Record in Supreme Court in Modern History

"President Barack Obama had the worst record before the Supreme Court in modern history, losing half of the cases argued before the High Court in his two terms, according to a new study."



The results were presidents “prevailed in nearly two-thirds of their cases; and captured over 60 [percent] of all votes cast. However, Obama’s success rate is “significantly lower” at just 50.5 percent, the lowest Epstein and Posner found."
 
"Obama’s performance was “especially poor.” “He prevailed in just 50.5 [percent] of his cases—a percentage slightly lower than the states’ win rate while Obama was in office (55.4 [percent]).”

Noteworthy losses during Obama’s presidency included the
blocking of an executive action giving work permits to 5 million illegal immigrants, “effectively ending what Mr. Obama had hoped would become one of his central legacies,” the New York Times reported.

The Court also handed a “humiliating” loss to Obama in his attempt to make recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board while the Senate was in session.

“Indeed the case was so clear-cut one can only conclude that the president didn’t care what the Constitution said,” the
Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin observed at the time.

Experts have argued that executive overreach by President Obama led to more losses in the High Court."
 
What subject did Obama teach as a college professor? He was suppose to be an expert in what kind of Law?

Oh My Goodness I'm having trouble remembering. What is it?

Constitutional Law.... That's it.

There is a very good reason all of his educational records have been sealed. :p
 
In Obama's defense, he wasn't trying to follow the Constitution. That said, it is remarkable he got as many socialist ideas past the Supreme Court. Saying more about the court than Obama.

So you are saying the President of the United States was willingly, intentionally violating the United States Constitution and Laws, which are - and should have been for him - Impeachable offenses?!

I totally agree. He was trying see how much it would bend.

Yes, and fortunately the, "I am stupid and popular" defense probably would have saved him.

Plausible denial!
