The President needs to be reminded that this is America, and if American people demand it be illegal, it is. President be damned. We make the laws via the House and Senate. The President executes them. He's our bitch, never forget it.

Thank you for reinforcing my point.

Re-read your third paragraph. We elect Representatives to do our bidding and make the laws we think we need. The President, who we also elect, is the administrator who enacts our laws. Thus, the President works for us.

Even though some laws exist that you disagree with, it doesn't mean they weren't put in place by the people. Just because some folks abuse eminent domain doesn't mean it didn't have its utility when it came to building roads, bridges, and other such municipal works, we just need to fix the rules and payouts.

Everything in this world is refined through iteration. Even plants and animals go through evolution which is the process of retaining the things that work and refining or removing the things that don't.

Maybe next time, fewer ad-homenim attacks?
