"State of the Union" Thoughts?

I am glad that Justice Alito quietly called out Obama on his mischaracterization of its ruling on the McCain-Feingold legislation. It was not exactly a Joe Wilson moment, but having a sitting US Supreme Court Justice mouth the words, "Not true" will probably carry more weight.

The disrespect that Obama showed to the Supreme Court was one of the most foolish things that I have seen a president do in a State of the Union speech. Does Obama really want to antagonize the people who will have a chance to decide a fate of a slew of the unconstitutional laws that he is pushing?

Alito will be there long after Obama is gone and people have begun debating whether Obama was a worse president than Jimmy Carter. Obama should have stuck to demonizing Republicans, banks, rich job providers, coal miners, and the US Chamber of Commerce. Picking a fight with the Supreme Court is just plain stupid.
