The list below was compiled and presented by Kelly O’Connell in a column in the Canadian Free Press Obama’s Puerile Molestation of the Constitution is Gruesome & Exceptionally Dangerous. For “progressive” acquaintances and liberal editorial boards, like the QC Times and the Dispatch (does it really have an editorial board or just a panel of acolytes to an aging former TV weatherman?), it would provide a useful introduction to telling facts regarding their “Great Orator.”
Obama’s Dangerous Contempt for the Rule of Law

Sadly, it only recounts the Obama administration’s most recent acts of lawlessness.
From our own “graveyard of BO’s Forgotten Greatest Hits Against the Constitution and Rule of Law”, we resurrected one that was so egregious at the time that had America enjoyed an unbiased press it would have possibly brought down this wannabe dictator before he really got rolling as he now has. It certainly would have brought down a Republican president, given today’s media agenda.
An interesting aspect of this story is how ineffectual Congress can be when it wants to be. This story lasted little over one news cycle. It’s possible the local “media giants” (the QCT Times – Democrat and the Argus-Dispatch Arggghhus-Disposable) were not even aware of it.
Subpoenaed: GOP wants to know why Obama administration misled Americans on drilling ban
President Obama’s offshore drilling moratorium following the 2010 oil spill caused widespread job losses and a significant drop in energy production in the Gulf of Mexico. Two years later, a U.S. House committee wants to know why the administration misled the public about the drilling ban.
The House Natural Resources Committee yesterday issued its first subpoena to the Department of the Interior after Secretary Ken Salazar refused to turn over documents related to the moratorium. At issue is why Salazar’s department suggested a panel of engineering experts supported the drilling ban when in fact they did not.
Despite the Obama administration’s transparency promises, Salazar has rebuffed the committee’s requests and stymied the department’s inspector general investigation. Salazar,who previously apologized, was defiant when asked about the subpoena:
The bottom line is I’m very comfortable with everything we did including the time out and reset button that we had to put in place in the Gulf of Mexico. What the House Natural Resources and energy committee is doing is simply a distraction in the name of politics.
Natural Resources Chairman Doc Hastings (D-WA) said it was important to understand what happened and why Salazar failed to conduct any technical, scientific or economic analysis prior to imposing the drilling ban. He gave the department one week to produce the documents. The subpoena was a last resort for the committee.
The GOP exercised its “all-in nuclear option” to try to get some traction… the subpoena… which as we’ve seen recently in Fast & Furious and IRS, has no effect at all with this administration. In the case of the QCT area’s premier legislators, Braley and Loebsack, their Party’s contempt for both the Courts and the truth, left them unimpressed.
U.S. in Contempt Over Gulf Drill Ban, Judge Rules
The Obama Administration acted in contempt by continuing its deepwater-drilling moratorium after the policy was struck down, a New Orleans judge ruled.
Interior Department regulators acted with “determined disregard” by lifting and reinstituting a series of policy changes that restricted offshore drilling, following the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history, U.S. District Judge, Martin Feldman of New Orleans ruled yesterday.
“Each step the government took following the court’s imposition of a preliminary injunction showcases its defiance,” Feldman said in the ruling.
“Such dismissive conduct, viewed in tandem with the re-imposition of a second blanket and substantively identical moratorium, and in light of the national importance of this case, provide this court with clear and convincing evidence of the government’s contempt,” Feldman said.
Veritas readers are urged to read the links above. Not only did the administration lie 
about what its own blue ribbon panel found and recommended, it defied a Court order, and then ignored a Congressional subpoena…literally a “Criminal Hat Trick”!
Like me, do you wonder if your liberal friends who voted for this guy would be impressed with any of the documented stuff herein? Neither do I.
Folks, I’m afraid that impeachment ship is hung-up on the shoals of Congressional cowardliness. What we need to worry about now is Obama’s next rule change, maybe to the effect, “who needs a presidential election in 2016 anyway” (Sorry, Hillary)? DLH
