I mean, reminding the supreme court that they are "unelected" is quite an arrogant statement isnt it ?
Anyone know of a President talking to the court like this ? I don't, but that means nothing....was curious because the statement sort of took me back. |
Obama certainly didn't note anything flimsy about those "unelected" Supreme Court positions when he appointed his Solicitor General--Elena Kegan--to be a judge on that court so she would be hearing and deciding on the very law SHE PROMULGATED on behalf of the Administration.
And he certainly does not note anything flimsy about Kagan now arguing to bolster the weak arguments of the solicitor general who took her place and is now arguing the case before her and the rest of the court!
