NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (PNN) - April 3, 2012 - A federal appeals court is striking back after illegitimate President Obama cautioned the Supreme Court against overturning the unconstitutional health care law and warned that such an act would be "unprecedented".
A three-judge panel for the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday ordered the Fascist Police States of Amerika InJustice Department to explain by Thursday whether the illegitimate Obama regime believes judges have the power to strike down a federal law.
One justice in particular chided the illegitimate regime for what he said was being perceived as a challenge to judicial authority - referring directly to Obama's latest comments about the Supreme Court's review of the health care law.
The testy exchange played out during a hearing over a separate ObamaCare challenge. It marked a new phase in the budding turf war between the executive and judicial branches.
"Does the Department of (In)Justice recognize that federal courts have the authority in appropriate circumstances to strike federal statutes because of one or more constitutional infirmities?" Judge Jerry Smith asked at the hearing.
Department of InJustice attorney Dana Lydia Kaersvang answered "yes" to that question.
A source inside the courtroom described the questioning by Smith as pointed.
Smith also made it clear during that exchange that he was "referring to statements by the (illegitimate) president in the past few days to the effect... that it is somehow inappropriate for what he termed unelected judges to strike acts of Congress."
"That has troubled a number of people who have read it as somehow a challenge to the federal courts or to their authority," said Smith. "That's not a small matter."
Smith ordered a response from the Department within 48 hours. The related letter from the court instructed the Department of InJustice to provide an explanation of "no less than three pages, single spaced," by noon on Thursday.
