Obama vs. the First Amendment

From Obama v. the First Amendment:
According to Obama’s State of the Union address: “With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests... I’d urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to correct some of these problems.” If that weren’t clear enough, Vice President Biden said of the Court’s ruling, it “was dead wrong and we have to correct it.”

This is brazen defiance of the rule of law. The President and Congress do not get to “correct” the Court’s interpretation of the Constitution. They do not have the power to pass laws the Court has found violate the First Amendment rights of Americans.

(emphasis mine)
