Obama "Disagrees"

He says he "disagrees" with most of Justice Thomas' decisions and his defining of the Constitution. In what way? I wish Obama would be a little more specific, if he can. I don't think he can. He's no more qualified to criticize the decisions of Justice Thomas than he is to be president. "Speaking of 'setting aside,' let’s set aside a few things about Obama-as-critic of Clarence Thomas: that Obama has never published a scholarly article, even though head of the Harvard Law Review nearly twenty years ago; that he is barely a lawyer, having a degree but hardly ever practiced law (let alone constitutional or appellate law); that his vaunted teaching at the University of Chicago was as an outside 'lecturer,' not a regular tenure-track faculty member. In short, let’s put aside that candidate Obama’s credentials as legal scholar, legal practitioner, and law teacher are as virtually non-existent as his other credentials, especially those from his time in the Illinois and United States Senates." If he even TRIED to be more specific he'd destroy any vestige of his credibility. (Atlasphere)
