Former Obama student speaks out

[Stephanie]

Either way having a Law Degree and being the smartest man in any room he walks into (you know he authored two books!) I would expect him to know the case. Is he being disingenous or not as smart as some think he is?

yeah...about himself Can you say, narcissistic?

no kidding...like his life was something so important..

 

[Katzndogz]

He has already started writing his presidential memoirs.

He has already started writing his presidential memoirs.

Well what do you expect him to do with his time? It's not like he can golf 24/7!

 

[iamwhatiseem]

He has already started writing his presidential memoirs.

Yeah...he started writing that with all the time he had on his hands when he left health care up to Nancy and Harry to take care of. He couldn't be bothered by mere details..."I thought of it...just do it."

so obama was a constitutional law professor.

thanks for confirming it.

A ConLaw professor that thinks Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803) should be overturned or glup didn't know about it.

If Obama says the constitution did give the Supreme Court the right to hears cases of Federal Question, then he is correct. However, case law interpretation has granted the Supreme Court this power in Marbury v. Madison.

Interesting how the leftist elitist mocked O'Donnell when she CORRECTLY stated "Separation of Church and State" was not in the constitution. (Case law interpreted the law and created that doctrine as the law of the land). Yet Obama makes boneheaded claim on constitutional ground and No One calls him to the mat on it! He gets a pass by the liberal elitist who were so quick to jump all over O'Donnell!

Hypocrisy at it's worst!

Obama a Constitutional Law Professor?
Posted on March 28, 2008

Q: Was Barack Obama really a constitutional law professor?

A: His formal title was "senior lecturer," but the University of Chicago Law School says he "served as a professor" and was "regarded as" a professor.


Recently, Hillary Clinton’s campaign has picked up on this charge. In a March 27 conference call with reporters, Clinton spokesman Phil Singer claimed:

Singer (March 27): Sen. Obama has often referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor” out on the campaign trail. He never held any such title. And I think anyone, if you ask anyone in academia the distinction between a professor who has tenure and an instructor that does not, you’ll find that there is … you’ll get quite an emotional response.

SNIP:
UC Law School statement:
The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer." From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year

FactCheck.org : Obama a Constitutional Law Professor?

Three courses a year at his level is nothing to sneeze at. He was a busy man.

 

[koshergrl]

three courses a year...that's one class per term, that's fairly busy I would think.

So what? FDR did the same thing. He arm twisted the supreme court saying he was going to have congress change the number of seats on the SCOTUS so he could stack the court.


Don't act all surprised that he's playing hardball.

FDR was also a dangerously overreaching liberal who (in addition to other vile acts) left the nation with unsustainabale burdens. Of course obama wants to emulate him.

Either way having a Law Degree and being the smartest man in any room he walks into (you know he authored two books!) I would expect him to know the case. Is he being disingenous or not as smart as some think he is?

Neither...he is an arrogant man who believes the ends justifies the means and also believe he holds the moral high ground. He believes if the constitution gets in the way of what he sees as progress, then the constitution should be set aside for "the better good" - in his eyes.
That is different than disingenuous. More like borderline narcissistic.
In his eyes the constitution is not the argument. It is more like "does the court have the audacity to overrule this great thing I did".

The second coming of Christ, dont'cha know...

FDR failed in his court packing scheme but from then on the Court began finding his progams Constitutional. The saying at the time was: A stitch in time saves nine. So did FDR ultimately win?
FDR has never been out of being rated as one the top three greatest presidents, but recently he was voted America's greatest president by 238 presidential scholars and noted historians.

so obama was a constitutional law professor.

thanks for confirming it.

Yes, thanks for confirming the extent of the education problem in America.

The problem with Obama is he will say anything. He can not spin out of the intentional ignorance in his remarks.

He was a dirtbag, and the closest we've ever come in the history of our Republic to a true dictator.

"
Now you know how I felt this morning when I read in the Wall Street Journal that my own constitutional law professor had stated that it would be “an unprecedented, extraordinary step” for the Supreme Court to “overturn[] a law [i.e., the Affordable Care Act] that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.” Putting aside the “strong majority” nonsense (the deeply unpopular Affordable Care Act got through the Senate with the minimum number of votes needed to survive a filibuster and passed 219-212 in the House), saying that it would be “unprecedented” and “extraordinary” for the Supreme Court to strike down a law that violates the Constitution is like saying that Kansas City is the capital of Kansas. Thus, a Wall Street Journal editorial queried this about the President who “famously taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago”: “[D]id he somehow not teach the historic case of Marbury v. Madison?”"
