Thumbing His Nose at Congress, the Constitution, and the People

Barack Obama's unpopular presidency has become irrelevant, incapable of strengthening a weak economy, ignored by Congress, pushed around by Russia, and in retreat in the face of a mounting terrorist threats to U.S. security. This week, the Supreme Court leveled another blow to Obamacare, based on freedom of religion. It struck down a provision that forced business employers to offer free contraceptives to their workers in their company health care plans, even if violated an employer's religious beliefs.
That followed a decision two years ago when the high court gutted Obamacare's expansion of Medicaid. Since then, 24 states have opted out of that part of the law.
Last week, in another stunning rebuke, the nine justice unanimously ruled that Obama exceeded his constitutional authority when he wrongly declared the U.S. Senate to be in recess (when it was holding pro forma sessions) so he could make several appointments to the National Labor Relations Board without senatorial approval.
