Laura Hollis : A President Who Won't Uphold the Constitution? Never.
Well, now we know why Barack Obama’s been so reluctant to have symbols of this country associated with his campaign. No flags on his airplane. Nix to pins on his lapel. Not inclined to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem.
After all, it turns out he has a problem with that other slightly more significant representation of our nation, the United States Constitution.
Just as he tried to prove to everyone that his patriotism was demonstrated by the lack of symbols of the United States, so he is now arguing that his passion for the Constitution is demonstrated by his commitment to shredding it. [continue reading]

Maybe Obama does what to play a bit to much with our constitution and things like that but isn't there enough checks and balances in place that he and the liberal illuminati in offices will have a pretty hard time actually making all this happen. I know the president is important but when it come to things like the constitution doesn't he have a lot of accountability before anything can really be changed?

Granted, it is not easy to change the constitution vis-à-vis constitutional amendments.
But liberals/progressives/socialists as Barack himself stated as much in his 2001 interview do not like our constitution as written by our founding fathers.
That is why they want to tell us it is a living, breathing, document. (Read easy to change.)
But you can use judicial fiat. The Dems successfully blocked many lower court judges Bush had put forward, thus there are a lot of positions open that Obama can pack the judicial system with. He may have 2 or 3 SCOTUS justices to appoint.
With the most liberal U.S. president we have ever had, with a liberal Congress (providing the Dems increase their margins) and a liberally minded SCOTUS, a lot of damage can be done through enactment of new laws provided by a liberal congress that may be in conflict with the ORIGINAL intent of the US Constitution and what our forefathers intended.
But with a liberal court system that shares the view that the constitution needs to be "reinterpreted",they can get their changes made through judicial activism.
And just WHERE is the checks and balances that keep the "justice system" in check?
