President Obama's scolding of the Supreme Court during the State of the Union address was out of line. But the attitude behind it is much worse - it's dangerous and could destroy our system of checks and balances.
 
If you're like me, President Obama's condescending tone during the State of the Union address became annoying.
 
He upbraided the Republican minority; he chastised his own party's legislators; he publicly excoriated the United States Supreme Court; he blasted former administrations; and he told the Joint Chiefs of Staff exactly how it was
going to be on the explosive issue of homosexuals openly serving in the military.
 
In fact, the only government official who remained above blame for any of the nation's problems was... himself.
 
The closest President Obama came to accepting personal responsibility was to admit that on the healthcare issue he was culpable for, "...not explaining it more clearly to the American people."
 
As if anyone could explain the 2,000-plus pages of each version of the ObamaCare bills! I am deeply concerned that the Obama White House, which has done so much to dominate Congress and manipulate the legislative process, is now openly attacking the judicial branch!
 
There was Political attack on Justices Alito and Roberts.  The President's public humiliation of Supreme Court Justices seated right in front of the Democratic side of the Chamber was outrageous. The impact of his strong criticism of their
recent decision in "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission" brought Democrats leaping to their feet to join his condemnation!
 
The Justices were forced to endure the sustained applause of his criticism - and then hear his emphatic promise to circumvent their decision! This breach of civility had the effect of intimidating the Supreme Court Justices.
 
This political theater was painful to watch and constituted a serious affront to the Constitution's separation of powers.
 
Just two days later, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), President Obama's chief advocate and "water carrier" in the United States Senate, began complaining to the press that both Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito had "misled"
Congress during their confirmation hearings.
 
The chorus then grew to include Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
 
The political point? Don't think about crossing the tyrannical Obama/Pelosi/Reid power axis, even if you're seated on the highest Court in the land!
 
This is one more reason why we MUST Take Back America!
 
After watching the President's new "combative posture" he displayed in the State of the Union address, I have become more committed than ever to Liberty Counsel's campaign for a return to national sanity.
 
We cannot allow the radical Obama/Pelosi/Reid power axis to take any more ground!
 
This new socialist tyranny is the reason why Liberty Counsel's "Take Back America 2010" campaign is so important. And that's we are on an official campaign to sign and send a petition to the President and key congressional leaders.

Liberty Counsel is rallying tens of thousands of Americans to join together and send a clear message that WE WILL NOT SUBMIT to out-of-touch elected officials who ignore the clear will of the American people!
 
The 2010 State of the Union address made it perfectly clear that President Obama and his crowd are not going to give up on ANYTHING they said they wanted from the beginning  - including Cap and Trade, the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," passage of the discredited ObamaCare legislation, and all the other frightening proposals the President laboriously mentioned in his speech.
 
We must stand up to this socialist tyranny.

We want to tell the media, our elected representatives, government bureaucrats - and whoever else needs to hear about it - that tens of thousands of Americans REFUSE to stand silently by while socialist Democrats take our nation apart, plank by plank!
 
If President Obama gets even a small part of the radical agenda he poured over for more than an hour last week, America will be in grave danger of becoming a socialist nation!
 
America will experience change this year. The question is what kind of change. Will it be the radicalism of Obama, or will it be a return to the sound principles of the Founders?

The choice is ours! Stand with Liberty Counsel as we move
forward to "Take Back America!"

We stand for the principles of liberty, life and family that made America a great nation.

President Barack Obama gave notice in 2010's State of the Union address that he refuses to back down on his radical agenda. Let's meet this challenge and stand strong in defense of America's founding principles and cherished values!
