Reply #47: Obama didn't have to ask for the stay on the injunction [View All]

but he did, as you've pointed out. That does seem to indicate Obama's true position on the issue as that appears to indicate an extraordinary level of "attention-to-detail" in following the law (cough).

What sticks in everyone's craw however, is that level of pursuit juxtaposed with real instances of his laissez faire in regards to other extremely serious violations of laws that he appears to be letting go without prosecution.

OF course, this goes beyond the initial outrage at the DOJ filing an appeal altogether. It just adds insult to injury. DUers who believe we are Obama-haters because we are pissed off about this are being deliberately tone deaf imho (not saying you are specifically, just saying). The filing of the stay is the bridge too far for many, many people. From "it's just a 2 minute prayer!" to that despicable bullshit in the DOMA filing, and now this?

Obama MAY have a legal leg to stand on (I'm not a lawyer so I can't call it for you over sabrina), but is it possible for you to admit that the appearance of bad faith on the part of this president is damn destructive?
