Do you know that the Supreme Court struck down a federal economic regulation in Lochner v. New York? President Obama knows it. It just isn’t true. I think Carl got the tone just right in his comments in this thread. Carl writes:
But with Obama, it’s important to not to exaggerate in a way that makes you ignored–don’t be the boy who cries wolf.
Particularly since on lots of issue, the possibility of a real wolf showing up can’t be discounted–not with this president.
More to the point, the public needs good education on con-law, from their pundits also, and the more they instead get boiler-plate Republican rhetoric, accusations of “he THREATENED the Court,” etc., the less they learn to see the real scandal:
This guy despises clarity about the Constitution–he will obfuscate at every point he can get away with, and the MSM is even worse about it than he is.
