Axelrod is wrong. It is VERY inappropriate for POTUS to chide SCOTUS. Separation of powers: Constitution 101. Duh!
Not to mention the balls, Axelrod and Obama still show with respect to "Special Interests" and "Lobbyists" considering their track record. The hypocrisy is palpable.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito shooked his head no, and mouthed "not true," while President Obama criticized the Supreme Court for their recent decision permitting lobbyists and corporations to exert more influence on elections.
How does a President insult the Supreme Court? What a jerk.
From Gallup:
Immediate reaction to President Obamas nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the U.S. Supreme Court is slightly less positive than when former President George W. Bush nominated John Roberts in 2005, but slightly more positive than when Bush nominated Samuel Alito and Harriet Miers.
Americans' first reactions to the news of President Obama's nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court are decidedly more positive than negative, with 47% rating the nomination as "excellent" or "good," 20% rating it "only fair," and 13% rating it "poor."
