"Constitutional law professor" Obama either completely clueless or blatantly lying

Does he think we don’t remember what happened? And that we can’t check facts on the Internet?CBS News:

“Ultimately I am confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress,” Mr. Obama said in the Rose Garden appearance.

Strong majority? It passed 219-212 after months of backroom deals, bribery, arm-twisting, and lies. That’s a strong majority?

Unprecedented? How about the Flag Protection Act of 1989? It passed the House 380-38 and the Senate 91-9. Now that’s a strong majority. And then the Supreme Court went ahead and precedented all over it.

Want another precedent? How about McCain-Feingold? That passed 240-189 and then got struck down by a Supreme Court that could read the First Amendment.

Being willfully ignorant of historical precedent is bad enough. But Obama’s statement indicates he doesn’t even understand the basic concept of having a Constitution.  His argument would mean that the Supreme Court and the Constitution are completely irrelevant and Congress can always do whatever it wants. How did this guy get picked for Harvard Law Review again?
