Rick G's point is really the ultimate point. The Constitution is Supreme Law of the Land. All laws contradicting it are by definition, null and void.

Todd, that is an excellent point. Maybe he is self conscious of the fact he knows what he is doing is wrong.

As expressed in the Sixteenth American Jurisprudence Second Edition, Section 177: "The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid; one must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows: 'The general ru... [ More ]

What makes it worse is the fact that he signed it knowing that FUTURE presidents will have that power he "disagrees with". A president does not just sign a bill for himself, he does it also for future generations. But this president only thinks about himself. Every other word is "I" or "me".

This abomination (Obama-nation) of a law isn't worth the paper it's wiped on.

President Obama signed the National Defense Appropriation Act, a law that ends the 4th Amendment in the United States unless the Supreme Court overturns it.

He offered this explanation.

The fact that I support this bill as a whole does not mean I agree with everything in it. In particular, I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.

Here is a man with a law degree telling us that he signed a bill into law, despite serious reservations. Who cares what reservations he has? He signed it into law.

Then he added this PR fluff.

Over the last several years, my Administration has developed an effective, sustainable framework for the detention, interrogation and trial of suspected terrorists that allows us to maximize both our ability to collect intelligence and to incapacitate dangerous individuals in rapidly developing situations, and the results we have achieved are undeniable. Our success against al-Qa ida and its affiliates and adherents has derived in significant measure from providing our counterterrorism professionals with the clarity and flexibility they need to adapt to changing circumstances and to utilize whichever authorities best protect the American people, and our accomplishments have respected the values that make our country an example for the world.
