Samuel Alito Was Right, Barack Obama Was Wrong

Newsmax.com:

The president's open scolding of the judicial branch — and Alito's response — triggered a sharp reaction from conservatives as well.

"I tell you, this is why people are disenchanted and are becoming more and more disengaged really from what their government is doing," former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told Fox News' Sean Hannity. "Because when we see an issue like this, words spoken that may not be true, coming from our president and embarrassing our Supreme Court and not respecting the separation of powers, we have a problem. And that is illustrated there by that justice mouthing those words, 'Not true.'"

"The president’s swipe at the Supreme Court was a breach of decorum," wrote election-law expert Bradley A. Smith of the Center for Competitive Politics wrote on National Review's The Corner, “and represents the worst of Washington politics — scapegoating ‘special interest’ bogeymen for all that ails Washington in attempt to silence the diverse range of speakers in our democracy.”

A broad range of experts challenged the accuracy of the president's assertions Thursday.

The Politifact.org fact-checking organizing evaluated Obama's statements and determined they were "barely true," adding, "We found Obama was exaggerating the impact of the ruling."

The president, who taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago before he ran for the U.S. Senate, was wrong on two counts, Judicial Watch's Fitton said: There was no century-old precedent in the case, and the ruling did not alter restrictions involving electioneering by foreign-based companies.

Once again, Barry lies. It is not established that domestic and foreign corporations can now have free reign regarding political contributions, given other prohibitions currently in place. Barry broke protocol and disrespected SCOTUS to their face all because of a ruling that he didn't like. What an arrogant SOB.
