Anchorage Daily Planet
By Ilya Shapiro and

President Obama and his supporters have had a turbulent relationship with
Supreme Court. It reached a low point when he said that striking down his
massive health care overhaul — which he said "was passed by a strong majority of
a democratically elected Congress" — would be an act of illicit "judicial
activism."
The episode harkens back to a nasty chapter in legal history: the clash between
the Court and President Franklin Roosevelt during the 1930s. Fortunately,
today's Americans are unlikely to welcome a repeat of that confrontation, and
President Obama would be wise not to try impugning the High Court, as Roosevelt
did.
