Reply #17: This is where being a "constitutional lawyer" comes in handy for President Obama.

You see, President Obama can disregard the Constitution and Congress when he needs to bomb the shit out of someone, say like... oh... ahh.... err... Libya, for example. Particularly when the UN gives him it's blessing because he's "preventing a massacre." (In this case the words "preventing a massacre" can be interpreted as meaning "killing people in such a way as to disrupt oil exports.")

However, he can alternately disregard the Constitution and still listen to Congress when applying the due process clause to terrorist suspects.

- I'm sure that most of us never knew that the words in the Constitution could mean the exact opposite of what they say until he showed us how it can be done.......
