Speaking of the president disrespecting the justices...
(Tim, w/thanks to Kevin) During his State of the Union Address with the justices sitting under his nose, President Obama shamed them for their recent decision overturning unconstitutional campaign reform laws. Note how little the Constitution matters to this former law professor at University of Chicago and editor of the law review at Harvard. His issue isn't that their decision was wrong, constitutionally, but that its consequences are bad for America. He might have said "with all due respect First Amendment to the Constitution," but he didn't.
Whatever in the world happened to the Constitution? Among these public masters, finding submission to their vow to uphold the Constitution is like a "Where's Waldo" game.
We do get some tiny satisfaction, though, by watching this video closely, noting Justice Alito shaking his head in direct contravention to President Obama's statements. And as he shakes, take a close look at what he says...
Watching this, I fantasized about the chutzpah of President Obama disrespecting the justices in this way, and every single person sitting within camera view of those shamed men and women giving him a standing ovation. What do we learn?
That it's possible, folks.
What's possible?
It's possible for a sitting president to shame the justices during the State of the Union Address and the whole world to respond with a standing ovation.
Why would this ever be good?
Bring on the day when our president shames them for the oppression and wholesale slaughter of fifty million little babies in their mothers' wombs this court has presided over in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton and Webster v. Reproductive Health Services.
Imagine President Obama calling out the justices for their bloodthirst and cowardice toward the little ones, and the whole world arising to give him a standing ovation. Sweet or just or righteous to think about, isn't it?
May God soon bring that day. Soon.

"Imagine President Obama calling out the justices for their bloodthirst and cowardice toward the little ones, and the whole world arising to give him a standing ovation."
Not going to happen. Useless fantasy.
That would be good. I'm also holding out hope that someday, more Congressmen call out Mr. Obama when he's flat out lying in his speeches.
OK, get me some 'baccy, 'cause it's probably a pipe dream, but let me dream, OK?
That was my first thought, too.
"The Executive is standing up to the Judiciary? WHA?!?!"
The Legislative and Executive branches have been hiding behind the election-insulated Judicial for 70 years. "Pandering politicians" (T. Paine) are happy to see the god History march "forward" while retaining plausible deniability come election time.
It was amazing to watch the speech - Obama couldn't look anyone in the eye who sat directly in front of him. Both the Generals and the Supremes were right in front of them - and he managed to **** both of those groups off.
Ya gotta wonder about the sanity of a man who waits until SCOTUS actually does something constitutional to call them out. And upsetting the Generals?
I hate to say it but, one of my predictions for 2010, which I posted elsewhere, was that Obama's presidency would prove so disastrous it would have the Dems begging Jimmy Carter to come back. It's now looking like Obama's a toss up for being remember for the worst of Carter's foreign policy . . . or the worst of LBJ's domestic policies.
But the most amazing thing about the speech besides those two gaffes and the orange make up was that he looked so petulant. I think the man's run up against the first serious challenge of his life and he doesn't know how to deal with it. People aren't simply falling down in front of him.

This is why I heart Joe Wilson.
Now we see how the church reflects the reigning leftist elite culture. Many who made vows in their presbyteries to uphold the Book of Church Order as a good application of God's Word are now simply picking and choosing what they want to follow. Clearly the Book of Church Order gives the expectation that if there are godly men available to fit the qualifications of 1 Tim 3, then they should be elected and ordained as deacons having the authority that that election and ordination vests them with.
So instead of these men coming back to their presbyteries and resigning because they can no longer uphold their vow to follow the Book of Church Order, they both refuse to follow its plain teaching in their own churches and also actively approve of others who do likewise. And so you have an overture coming out of a church that states that a Deacon is not even normative, simply to justify them giving an authoritative office to women in violation of Genesis 2 and 1 Timothy 2.
I'm sorry. I can't read lips that well (especially not pixellated ones). What did Alito say?
Alito: "That's not true"
@ Scott Hatkow: Thanks!
