Is what you hear from president barack obama in 2014 the same thing you heard from him as candidate for president barack obama in 2008 . The most important job of the Supreme Court is to guard against the encroachment of the executive branch. That is all this house is asking the court to decide. And we didnt choose a controversial issue, one that we might disagree with the president on whether or not it should be implemented. We chose his own Health Care Bill to say, mr.

Lets do the whole thing exactly the way you signed it, exactly the way the house and Senate Passed it. Lets do it that way. You dont get to make those decisions on your own. The president knew that as a senator. In fac
