A Part-time Law Lecturer vs. the Constitution

From Clarice Feldman at The American Thinker Blog:
It’s a lie often repeated that Obama was a Constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago law school. In fact, he was just a lecturer there for a short time who never much impressed his colleagues. Watching this administration in action one wonders what, if anything, he understands about the Constitution at all. His is an administration based on flouting it.

It’s true that the judicial process moves slowly and such conduct can continue for a while until halted, but repeatedly the courts are catching up.

In fact, the Supreme Court has ruled unanimously against the administration 20 times.
No so much as a lie, but a Fairy Tale.
More extraordinary than the overt overreaching has been the perversion of the judicial process itself, and this week it came to a head in Texas where a federal district court judge caught the Justice Department lawyers lying to the court, not only a violation of their ethical responsibility, but a new low for DoJ lawyers who, when I first came here fifty years ago, were the models of probity, carefully supervised to see no one overstepped their obligations for truthful representations in court.
It used to be above reproach, not the DoJ is now a weapon to be used against one's political enemies.
