Clyburn: Obama should campaign against SCOTUS

Published April 2, 2012 4:00am ET



Democrats worried about the Supreme Court overturning Obamacare believe President Obama should campaign against the justices — and the president seems to be taking their advice.

Asked if Obama should start “going after the court . . . as a conservative, activist court,” Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., agreed that he should. “In terms of the Congress, I believe that would be off-base for us to do that, but for the presdident to do that, I don’t think it is,” Clyburn said today Morning Joe. “I think that the president will take a look at exactly what he needs to do to connect with the American people, [to] let them know that he has done everything that he can possibly do, and ask them to give him a mandate for the years going forward.”
