[Excerpt]Reporting from Washington —
The Supreme Court wrapped up its term last week after landmark decisions protecting the right to have a gun and the right of corporations to spend freely on elections.

Some advisors counseled caution, but the president opted to criticize the conservative justices in the uncomfortable spotlight of national television as Senate Democrats roared their approval.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. is still angered by what he saw as a highly partisan insult to the independent judiciary. The incident put a public spotlight on the deep divide between the Obama White House and the Roberts court, one that could have a profound effect in the years ahead.

As Alice said after going down the rabbit hole. This just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser! Next thing you know he'll (nObabma) try and issue an executive order to overturn the SCOTUS decisions. Won't that be a corker?

At that point POtUS would be a domestic enemy of the constitution many of us have sworn to uphold.

SCOTUS exists to ensure the rights reserved to the government, the states, and ourselves, remain largely intact.

If President Obama want's to violate his oath of office by decrying a SCOTUS decision affirming our Constitutional rights, thereby simultaneously refusing to support and defend our Constitution, then impeachment becomes paramount, as he would no longer be fit to continue to serve as our President.

In fact, as his remarks against the SCOTUS decision are clearly out of order given SCOTUS' adherence to our Constitution, I sincerely hope people are keeping a long list for use at a potential impeachment hearing.
