I think Obama is right when he talks about the rule of law as a cornerstone of what the United States should stand for.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think Obama is right when he talks about the rule of law as a cornerstone of what the United States should stand for. That can encompass our elected officials' adherence to law and our country's return to the Geneva Conventions.
I tend to agree with many aspects of President Obama's policies.
The American people deserve to know exactly which laws the Obama Administration is refusing to enforce and why.
Law professors like Obama tend to view the law as one means to an end, and others, like myself, tend to view it as the end itself.
There's a misconception about Barack Obama as a former constitutional law professor. First of all, there are plenty of professors who are 'legal relativists.' They tend to view legal principles as relative to whatever they're trying to achieve.
I'm not saying Obama is right on everything. Of course not. He may be wrong on a number of things. But what I do know is that he behaves like a very, very sane man almost all the time.
In order for the Constitution to work, you have to have law-abiding people. You have to have people willing to obey the Constitution, willing to follow the law. Obama doesn't care. He is the law.
President Obama has not only failed to uphold several of our nation's laws, he has vowed to continue to do so in order to enact his unpopular agenda.
I firmly believe in the rule of law as the foundation for all of our basic rights.
I agree with President Obama and Attorney General Holder that we need to reform our criminal sentencing laws.
