>> Exactly.

He clearly has his own ideas about what judicial review is; however, I think his remarks made it abundantly clear his ideas aren't consistent with those of most people, including most "constitutional scholars".

Was he being dishonest? Was he intending to mislead? I don't think so. I just think he has a totally different view of government. He sees his role as approaching that of a dictator -- he demands, he pitches a tantrum, and he gets what he wants. He demands Obamacare, and he gets it -- no matter what unscrupulous methods are required. Now, someone threatens to take it away, and "You can't do that. I'm the president. I won the election."

Unfortunately, there are those on the left who will accept, even embrace, a dictatorship, in order to get what they want.

Dictatorship? Of course not. But his efforts to expand his own power are substantial -- while talking about "unelected" officials like Supreme Court justices, he failed to mention "unelected" officials like Kathleen Sebelius.
