Do you support his refusal to defend DOMA?

If so, how will you feel about it when the next conservative President refuses to execute some part of environmental law or something liberals have gotten passed?

DOMA btw was NOT a conservative idea.

I see a pretty dangerous precedent being set here.

Obama has just raised the power of the executive higher than that of the legislature and judicial. Doesn't sound constitutional to me.

if libs don't like a law passed by the people or congress, they take it to the court. if they don't like the ruling, they simply ignore the law.

if this was a republican ignoring some hate crime law, you would be hearing marxist dem after marxist dem demanding impeachment hearings.

it's only a bad precedent if it's a republican president doing it. the left are children.

you should know that since liberals are so enlightened, they are sole truth holder.

When you don't believe in God, you become the god. so their beliefs are the highest and everyone should obey them.

It's a dangerous precedent to allow a president to choose what laws he likes and what laws he doesn't. Lets leave things like this up to The Supreme Court that's all

I don't know that Obama is setting this precedent. Plenty of Presidents have ignored laws they did not ideologically agree with, to include Lincoln and FDR.

The difference, and the precedent that Obama would be setting, is that those Presidents have never done so against an opposition controlled legislature. If the GOP is smart, they begin working towards the removal of Holder or the impeachment (symbolic only, since they do not have enough votes in the Senate to remove) of Obama.

I am not talking about homosexuality there mo. I am talking about whether a President can arbitrarily decide he isn't going to enforce laws simply because he doesn't like them... err, owes a special interest group favors.

Nice low shot at the man's faith, while completely missing the actual point. :crazy:

You had to have a lot of tutoring to get through school, didn't you?

If you mean ignoring the law then this isn't precedent setting for the Obama administration at all.

There are numerous offences, starting with Obama's questionable eligibility which he has stonewalled from the beginning, thumbing his nose at the constitution and the American people.

His Interior department is in contempt of court over the gulf oil drilling moratorium.

His Attorney General ORDERED employees at the voting rights division of the Justice Department to ignore subpoenas to appear before a congressional committee, what is that if not contempt of congress??

He has also shown comtempt of congress and the American people by using the EPA to bypass congress after he couldn't ram through the insane cap and trade law and his appointee that heads up that department doesn't know science from a pair of tennis shoes, showing that it a purely political power move.

No way to include all the offenses here but another area is his responces to FOIA requests.

Holder even admitted to dragging his feet at responding to requests from conservative factions.

One outstanding offender in that area is Hansen the NASA climate alarmists, his delays have habitually violated deadlines in the FOIA law.

Obamacare has been ruled unconstitutional in toto in federal court but Obama continues to incrementally implement it.

This will be a huge issue soon when/if it goes to the Supreme Court.

JW Sues Justice Department for Documents Detailing Justice Kagan?s Participation in Obamacare Discussions as Solicitor General | Judicial Watch

Judicial Watch filed its original FOIA request on June 18, 2010. The DOJ acknowledged receipt of the request on July 8, 2010. However, to date, the DOJ has failed to release any documents or demonstrate why documents must be withheld. The DOJ has not indicated when responsive documents may be forthcoming.

Neither Kagan or Sotomayor recused themselves recently when considering an Obama eligibility case.

There may be some libs and/or other moonbats who will defend Obama no matter what but if they would stop for one minute and think, surely they wouldn't want the country to progress to the point that the president is completely above the law and may do as he/she wishes in each and every circumstance. :unsure:

I'm a big fellow, I can miss a few while gibbs throws out one of his marathon treatises on the real-world supermajorities that live at the nadir and make sweet love to 800lb gorillas after snorting coke off their abs.

I think I just combined trolls, but it's late and my blood sugar is low.
