Turley: Obama's "Become The Very Danger The Constitution Was Designed To Avoid"

[boedicca]

This is why Obama is the Worst President Ever for the U.S.: he is the type of President the Constitution was designed to prevent, hence is efforts to destroy it.

JONATHAN TURLEY: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he's not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He's becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid. That is the concentration of power in every single branch.

This Newtonian orbit that the three branches exist in is a delicate one but it is designed to prevent this type of concentration. There is two trends going on which should be of equal concern to all members of Congress. One is that we have had the radical expansion of presidential powers under both President Bush and President Obama. We have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely unchecked authority. And with that trend we also have the continued rise of this fourth branch. We have agencies that are quite large that issue regulations. The Supreme Court said recently that agencies could actually define their own or interpret their own jurisdiction.

Because the MSM is in the business of doing stories that the public will actually watch or listen to or read.

 

[boedicca]

You sad little brainwashed boobie.

The MSM is largely a bunch of Obama Shills.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Where in the constitution does it say this?

America has been investing in its self for over 150 years.

 

[Kosh]

You sad little brainwashed boobie.

The MSM is largely a bunch of Obama Shills.

Yes they are have been for the longest time since most of the journalists are card carrying Democrats. They were taught that in the far left colleges they went to.

No independence of thought required to be a member of the Democrats, just need to conform and tow the party line without question or reservation.

All you need to do is look all the far left posters on this board to see that.

 

[boedicca]

Say what Matthew?

Clearly, you've never read The Constitution, nor do you grok the concept of separation of powers.

 

[R.C. Christian]

Obama should be tried for treason. His wife and children should be placed under house arrest until the obvious guilty verdict and sentence are read.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Julius Caesar tried to rule like that too

 

[Vox]

Say what Matthew?

Clearly, you've never read The Constitution, nor do you grok the concept of separation of powers.

what do you expect from the little brainwashed leftard?

 

[bendog]

Regulatory agencies interpreting their own regulations ..... what next, the Lubyanka?

Only drivel.

Simon Lazarus, senior counsel to the Constitutional Accountability Center, called the alleged problems with the Affordable Care Act implementation and Obama's actions, "hyperventilating and contrary to historical fact."

Exercising presidential judgment when executing laws is precisely what the Constitution requires, Lazarus said, and delays in implementing the health care law do not constitute a refusal to do so.

This Trurdly is a FAIL from the start.

He makes statements then can't back them up with examples -- concrete examples. Empirical evidence.

"One is that we have had the radical expansion of presidential powers under both President Bush and President Obama." -- BULLSHIT.


"We have what many once called an imperial presidency model of largely unchecked authority."

BULLSHIT -- congressional hearing, SCOTUS review.

What the fuck is this idiot talking about???

maybe not exactly next, but not far away.

Lubyanka variations actually are practiced all over US colleges - they have their troykas and internal UNjustice system going full speed for a long time already:
