Lochner, one of the all-time top-cited cases, had to do with state contract law and was decided in the year 1905.; April 5, 2012 at 2:11 AM

Not to mention the fact that most of the liberals’ favorite Supreme Court decisions involved overturning laws that were enacted by democratically elected Congresses or legislatures, e.g., Roe v. Wade, Lawrence v. Texas and many more.

Obama’s comments were so ill-informed that they prompted an angry response from a panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.; April 5, 2012 at 2:14 AM

The three-judge appellate court appears to be asking the administration to admit that basic premise — despite the president’s remarks that implied the contrary. The panel ordered the Justice Department to submit a three-page, single-spaced letter addressing whether the Executive Branch believes courts have such power.; April 5, 2012 at 2:17 AM
