  • If you're happy and you know it, say "plurium interrogationum".
  • Criticizing any US official of the last hundred years for ignoring the Constitution is like passing out speeding tickets at the Indy-500.
  • I'd like you to find an example of one American president (excluding the founding fathers, of course) who didn't ignore the US constitution at one point or another.
  • Normally you hear this about G.W. Bush. To what do you refer to regarding our current President?
  • Hehehe. How little you know about American History. The answer to your question is: Almost ALL of them since 1776, especially Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Abraham Lincoln...well, and Bushwacker (George Bush) too, lol! ☺
  • As you know, George "Weasel" Bush was the worst. Try to think of something he did that was legal.  
  • I think that Obama obeys the Constitution better than his predecessor, but I don't expect any uber-con to have enough of a grasp of reality or of history to acknowledge that. Look at what has happened to the First, Fourth, and Fifth amendments, as well as Miranda rights, the Geneva Convention, and our standing in the world due to the cowboy antics of W. Now, cite specifics. Put your money where your mouth is or STFU!
  • Oh yes!!
  • You don't know the alphabet very well do you? ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV..W.. oops.
  • Would you care to cite your sources, or would you care to continue pulling them out of your ass?
  • NO, not to this degree....
  • Yes. Abraham Lincoln, Bill Clinton, GW Bush. But Barack bin Osama has gone far beyond them. He is unprecedented.
  • Can you name one instance where he has done so?
  • You claim in many comments that it is evident; provide examples. Humor us little, "politically ignorant" people and show us how President Obama has ignored to constitution.
  • Only the most popular ones. But Yes, Obama is doing the same things. He is NOT the "change" people "hope" for.
  • What happened to civility in politics, respect for your adversary, and well reasoned, rational debate based on factual evidence?
  • Please do tell me how Obama has "ignored The Constitution"? Once you have perhaps we can do a little compare and contrast with his predecessor Shrub and the Veep who consistently ignored not just The Constitution but, existing precedent in multiple areas of both domestic and international law, requests for information from the Congress, existing treaties with foreign governments, the summons issued by the judicial committee, the rulings of the SCOTUS and well...pretty much the rule of law across the board.
  • No and A National Defense Force will be the greatest violation ever.
  • even i violated the constitution on numerous occasions, although, frankly, i ignored the rulings of the us supreme court and my arch-nemesis, chief justice taney during the civil war. my hero, our first president, assembled a militia to enforce the nation's tax on whiskey that the western pennsylvania appalachian distillers didn't want to pay. polk really transformed the us presidency, starting a war with mexico to capture the rest of the western lands. ever since washington, every president has ignored the constitution to some degree, except maybe william harrison who died before he had a chance to violate the constitution. w deferred serious matters to the vp during the first 5 years but then saw that cheney could not be trusted with the immense power that he had granted him. in my opinion, the only constitutional violation that obama has committed is transferring gitmo detainees from cuba to someplace in the us - its still a violation of the constitution and geneva conventions. other than that, specifically what acts has he committed and to which sections of the constitution do you propose he has ignored? i'm open to your hypothesis, but, share with me some specific ideas.
  • People, I'm not sure that all the statist, socialist, totalitarian power grabs are attributable to the POTUS. I expect a thorough examination might show that the Congress, especially the House, and more specifically the Speaker, is the instigator of most of the excesses for which we blame the Ayatol ...er... the president.
  • They all have to some extent. At least he hasn't trampled on it like George & Ronnie did.
  • Said the Sandman to the people on AB, "Did you see what I saw? Did you hear what I heard? It was a quick flash this morning as I surfed the channels for wake-up news, but I thought I heard a reporter say that Obama made an appearance at an elementary school, and that the children were instructed to "pledge allegiance to President Obama." That couldn't have happened, could it? I hope I dreamt it.
  • The US Constitution is DEAD. This is no conspiracy theory anymore...As for Obama himself, i am not exactly sure what he has done specifically to continually shatter the Constitution, but he certainly has lied. For all you blind Obama worshipers, google the film "The Obama Deception" and see all the lies he has told. I would say President Woodrow Wilson ignored the Constitution to the degree Obama has by passing the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. That move alone was enough to destroy a great part of the American economy.
  • No, Obama has kept pretty much to the letter AND the spirit of the constitution - and that's a rare thing for recent presidents to do - Bush Jr. for example was notorious in his blatant disregard for the Constitution of this nation. I hoped this helped you.
  • You're joking, right? Oh..maybe you don't remember bush, g.w. That's ok. Sometimes memory failure hits the very young. We forgive you your misplaced passion..we suffer for your misguided word choices. We forgive you..we forgive you..we forgive you. :)
  • Barack Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago as a senior lecturer . http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/was_barack_obama_really_a_constitutional_law.html
  • Wait Obama? What did Obama do, I know George Bush violated the 4th Amendment with the Patriot act, and Violated 6, 7 and 8 with Guantanamo. But I haven't heard Obama do anything yet :P and just so you don't accuse me, I am not a democrat, and I didn't vote Obama, actually have never voted for either major party in my entire history of voting.
  • I think you might have confused OBAMA with BUSH.
