Alioto's Truth

When he sat there and listened to Obama lying about their recent decision outlawing part of the McCain-Feingold Act (The whole thing ought to be outlawed). He didn’t jump up and shout “You lie!” as one congressman did when he couldn’t take Obama’s lies any longer. He merely whispered it to another Justice, and the press went wild, saying he should just SHUT UP! I think he’s as entitled to his opinion as any other American citizen, and was within his rights if he DID stand up and shout “You lie!” The big problem in this country now is nobody DOES call Obama on his many blatant lies. The Supreme Court is charged with making sure the laws Congress passes adhere to the word and spirit of the Constitution, and that’s what they did in this case, even if it does anger Obama. Angering Obama is not a consideration. If the law is unconstitutional it is unconstitutional, regardless of what Obama thinks. Did you notice when others gave Obama a standing "O" as he lied, the Justices remained seated and did not applaud? I think that said more than Alito's "mouthing." (Washington Post)
