Its the Constitution Stupid

Am I the only one to notice that the Obama administration is having one hell of a time understanding what is lawful and what is not? Allow me to provide you several examples.

Exhibit A, the drilling moratorium enacted by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. As you may recall, that moratorium was not struck down once, but twice. I've blogged about this previously, but there was yet another article in the WSJ today on the matter.

Exhibit B, Obamacare. It too has now been struck down twice as unconstitutional. First U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson struck down the "individual mandate" requiring most Americans to purchase health insurance by 2014. Then a month later it was ruled unconstitutional AGAIN in Florida, this time by U.S. District Judge Robert Vinson.

And exhibit C, President Obama told the Justice Department this week to no longer defend the DOMA law. In a Newsmax article today Newt Gingrich explains just how this is in essence a dereliction of duty. Not only that, but Obama is breaking the oath he swore to uphold by unilaterally decided which laws to enforce and which one's to pass on.
