Re: Obama’s ‘Unprecedented’ Remarks: Is the President Running Against the Supreme Cou
It's not unprecendented. Almost everytime I hear the rightwing talk about something else Obama did that's "Unprecendented" all it takes is second on Google to find instances of where...well it's not unprecendented and in fact pretty normal.

Wow. Just... wow!

In words echoed by Obama this week, Reagan reminded Americans that “in our democracy, it is the elected representatives of the people, not unelected judges, who make laws.” And Reagan warned what would happen if justices ignored that civics lesson: “If that happens,” he said, “the words of the documents that we think govern us will be just masks for the personal and capricious rule of a small elite.”
