Mr. President do you think your base is stupid?

( - promoted by Fong)

President Obama now tells us that the Warren Court overstepped it's judicial role by becoming "activist".  Glenn Greenwald retorts:

"But given that the defining rulings of those decades have long formed the bedrock of the progressive understanding of the Constitution and the judiciary, that the dominant Justices of that era (Brennan, Marshall, Douglas, Black) are the iconic liberal judges of the 20th century, and that those decades produced the most vital safeguards for core Constitutional guarantees and critical limits on executive power, Obama -- as I said yesterday -- should at least specify which decisions he finds "erroneous" and illegitimate...."

Now tell me what would make President Obama say something like that?

He is not a progressive or moderate but rapidly becoming a "conservative" Democrat on key issues pertaining to the Constitution and issues of civil liberties and safe guards that protect us from an oppressive government.

What cases does President Obama takes issue with by the Warren Court:

"The White House declined to identify rulings that Mr. Obama believes relied on judicial activism."

Would McCain have been worse on issues of Constitution & issues of civil liberties and safe guards?
I agree Ken, on Obama

"He is not a progressive or moderate but rapidly becoming a "conservative" Democrat on key issues pertaining to the Constitution and issues of civil liberties and safe guards that protect us from an oppressive government."

About the only thing we rank and file can do about it is stop sending Conservative Democrats to Washington.

A case in point being that we Colorado Democrats should send our choice, Andrew Romanoff to the US Senate, instead of Obama's choice, the appointed, never elected, Michael Bennet.

And, If Obama continues to rule in much the same way as Bush,
We'd better get out in the streets protesting him every bit as much as we did Bush.

Otherwise WE are the hypocrites and fools.

Obama Stole Dems 2010 Senate Primary Nomination for "appointed" Sen. Michael Bennet but 57,497 "UnderVotes" by angry Romanoff progressives nearly Stopped them
