I guess it’s easy to justify wildly expanding the power of the executive branch when you consider the constitution an outdated document of “negative liberties”.

In the last State of the Union address President Obama accused the Supreme Court of opening “the floodgates for corporations and special interests to pour money into elections — drowning out the voices of average Americans.”

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts commented recently on the environment of the State of the Union address:

The image of having the members of one branch of government standing up, literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the court — according the requirements of protocol — has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling…To the extent the State of the Union has degenerated into a political pep rally, I’m not sure why we’re there.

Loss of decorum is of course the least of our worries.  The administration quickly responded via meat puppet Robert Gibbs:

The president has long been committed to reducing the undue influence of special interests and their lobbyists over government.  That is why he spoke out to condemn the decision and is working with Congress on a legislative response.  (emphasis all mine - although the macabre absurdity of this statement should be apparent without bold and italics)

How is it that anyone lets the administration get away with saying that kind of thing for even one second?  Two minutes on YouTube exposes this to be an empty, rotten lie.  Aren’t there any journalists out there who have two minutes to spend on a story that proves a presidential administration is baldly lying to America’s face?  And it’s not this particular lie so much as the pattern of responding to any conflict or controversy with lies and misdirection.

And on, and on, and on.  And of course, the most frequent visitor to the White House:  Andy Stern, head of SEIU.  I guess unions agressively pushing political agendas don’t count as the “undue influence of special interests.”

Definition of undue:  “unwarranted, excessive, inappropriate, unjustifiable, improper”

I agree, Robert Gibbs.  Let’s work on eliminating undue influences from the White House.  We should probably start by getting rid of all the “community organizers”.
