Checks and balances: a reminder to Barack Obama

  Regardless of the "separation of powers," POTUS has decided that laws are not for him. He doesn't feel bound by.....the law. The Hill:

President Obama said Friday he will not be bound by at least 20 policy riders in the 2012 omnibus bill funding the government, including provisions pertaining to Guantanamo Bay and gun control. 

After he signed the omnibus into law Friday, the White House released a concurrent signing statement saying Obama will object to portions of the legislation on constitutional grounds.

  So as soon as he signs the law, he says he won't follow it.
  We might remind POTUS of the following:

Checks and balancesTo prevent one branch from becoming supreme, protect the "opulent minority" from the majority, and to induce the branches to cooperate, government systems that employ a separation of powers need a way to balance each of the branches. Typically this was accomplished through a system of "checks and balances", the origin of which, like separation of powers itself, is specifically credited to Montesquieu. Checks and balances allow for a system based regulation that allows one branch to limit another, such as the power of Congress to alter the composition and jurisdiction of the federal courts. 

  The American people voted last fall to keep those checks and balances in place. By voting in Tea Partiers in remarkable numbers, the American people voted to stop Barack Obama.
  He can say all he wants about an agenda, but he is not abiding by the will of the people or the Constitution.
  All hail Barack Hussein Obama.
  And goodbye, because that's what he's begging for. Dismissal.
  We don't have Caesars or kings in this country.
