Law Prof: “Team Obama’s Staggering, Scary Assault on Our Constitution”

Writing at FoxNews.com, George Mason University
law professor David Bernstein chronicles the Obama administration’s
serial mistreatment of the Constitution, a list that ranges from
recess appointments abuse to the president’s unilateral tinkering
with the health care law. Bernstein writes:

presidential campaign that he “will obey the Constitution of the
United States” and not try to do end-runs around Congress.

Obama promised he would not commit the U.S. to armed conflict
without Congress’s consent, and that his administration will “set
an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims
of stubborn rulers.”

The Obama administration has repeatedly engaged in actions that
range from constitutionally dubious to blatantly
unconstitutional.
