It's a start...

 Maybe it’s his background teaching constitutional law.

If elected president, Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama said one of the first things he wants to do is ensure the constitutionality of all the laws and executive orders passed while Republican President George W. Bush has been in office.

Those that don’t pass muster will be overturned, he said.

During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama — a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office.

“I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution,” said Obama

What?  A politician openly suggesting that chunks of the Federal Register will go bye-bye on his watch?  Hold on, I have to go shoo these flying pigs away from my window...

To the partyarchs out there: I know I'm an obvious outlier.  You might think back to some of my remarks on my own site & reason that there's no point in listening to my radical anarchist rants.  However, I know regardless of how bad I think the current setup is, the next president declaring themself dictator-for-life would make my goals that much more difficult.  You have someone who has now stated they want to go the other direction.  If you NEVER take me up on anything else, do so on this:

Hold him to his word. 

If by chance he gets in & fails to keep his promise, and the new lows of the last eight years aren't being actively erased, I hope you will raise absolute hell over it.  Because you already know I will.

Umm....

Aren't all Executive Orders Unconstitutional?

Nice try to pander to Ron Paul supporters, Barack, but we don't buy your bullshit.

Executive Orders

Are not unconstitutional.

You may be thinking of signing statements, which are borderline to begin with and have been taken to an all new extreme under Bush.
