Chris Matthews forgot Obama was Black last Night.

Obama still doesn’t get it.

And he should, because the one thing Obama spent some time doing was to study law. And American law has two foundations largely equal but separate. One is the English Common Law which harks back to Magna Carta and beyond.

But the other is the United States Constitution.

I don’t know when they teach this stuff in school anymore but I learned it when I was about 14 and I was at an English school. And that’s when I began to suspect that my destiny lay here. In fact, as some witnesses could attest, within 2 days of my arrival in this land, the greatest country on this planet, I knew I had been born in the wrong place.

The key that Obama does not, will not, recognize is that, when all else fails, the American Constitution prevails. To him, it’s not a document and an ethos to be revered. To him, it’s a series of constraints on his power and he’s right because that’s how it was designed. He and his cabinet and his czars and his liberals, both in and out of Congress, hate that.

Obama would love to scrap the entire fabric starting with the Supreme Court. And he tried to start it last night on Capitol Hill when he attacked that very body.

Does Obama not know that he is the head of just one of three branches of Government? Frankly, no he doesn’t. When he was accorded the title of “Commander in Chief”, he took it literally and assumed that he was now the “King” or the “Messiah”.

But, he’s not.

Greater than he, Greater than us all, is the might and the right of the Constitution and long may that continue.

So, when Obama started on his tirade last night against the Supreme Court’s ruling of last week I was appalled and so should anyone who believes in our system of Government.

Perhaps, the dirty little secret that Obama chooses to ignore is that Jefferson and Madison et al were not nearly as stupid as he seems to believe.

There is a mechanism to remove a Justice of the Supreme Court of these United States from their bench even though, typically, it’s a lifelong appointment. And for good reason, which is that they are seated in order to rule according to the Constitution and not according to the whim or prejudice of the head of another of the 3 branches. Just ask Samuel Chase. He was impeached.

There is a way to remove a member of the House and Senate and their constituents will take care of that.

It is most unseemly for a President to go into Chicago-style attack mode especially at a State of the Union message.

And while Obama may not have thought this through, the Court are unlikely to respond directly to his outrageous attack but they will remember the next time there is a matter before them that Obama holds dear. I suppose it’s called winning the battle and losing the war.

But, let’s face it that’s all Obama knows. He’s from Chicago which was home to Leroy Brown.

Meaner than a “Junk Yard Dog”.

And there’s a couple of ways to remove a president.
