Members of the Supreme Court got a front row seat to President Obama's State of the Union address, and one justice used the opportunity to mouth off to the President.

"With all due deference to the separation of powers," Obama said, "last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests - including foreign corporations - to spend without limit in our elections"

In response to this criticism of their recent ruling, Justice Samuel Alito shook his head and appeared to mouth "Not true."

As both sides of the chamber rose to their feet, the members of the Court in attendance - Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and John Paul Stevens were absent - remained seated in silence, as is customary.

The Supreme Court tore up laws against corporate and union spending in federal elections in a 5-to-4 ruling. The decision is expected to help a GOP push to win back Congress.

The President's chiding of the Court's ruling is highly unusual.

Vice President Biden defended Obama's comments in an appearance on "Good Morning America" when asked if the remarks were proper.

"The President didn't question the integrity of the court. He questioned the judgment of it," the vice president said. "I think it (the ruling) was dead wrong and we have to correct it."

Justice Alito, a member of the Court's conservative bloc, was appointed by President George W. Bush.

Someone needs to remind Obambi that there are three branches of government and he doesn't control all three. Bet he thought that with Sotomayor he would be able to control the court and influence their decisions. This ruling will take away some of the Dems' advantage in the next election.

How absolutely rude of Obama, with his fellow Dems yelling and clapping. The Supremes did not appear amused.

Obambi was heavily financed by foreign money himself. Numerous people tested his Donate! link on his campaign website and you could drive a Mack Truck with armed terrorists through it. It accepted anyone and anything as donor and donation.

A lot of the odd numbered donations are considered to be people from overseas whose even-number donation, made by credit card or debit card from foreign issuers in a FOREIGN CURRENCY, had to pass through a Foreign Exchange process. That explains the weird dollars and cents.

And don't forget all the characters from Disney cartoons who showed up as donors either.

I'm actually glad he pissed off the SCOTUS....this could be the biggest favor he's done the American people thus far.
