Obama's Attack on Supreme Court

The Fifth Circuit has poured gasoline on the rather ordinary ritualized outrage that Obama called the Supreme Court "unelected" by requiring the Department of Justice to write a report assuring them that Obama believes the Court can strike down laws, citing his speech.

BTW, if re-elected will Obama dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States of America?

Dr. Ursus is inevitable:

I’m sure Herr Hitler had a problem with the German judiciary
in his first term. Not so much in the second one!
