That\u2019s the show with Martha MacCallum and Bill Hemmer. And Martha MacCallum did this segment. She had Napolitano on, and she played a clip of me defining judicial activism, as I did on this program yesterday. I said, &#8220;Judicial activism does not happen when you follow the law. Judicial activism is when you don\u2019t follow the law. Obama is trying to redefine that, too,&#8221; and after playing a couple of sound bites of me, Martha turned to the judge and said, &#8220;Judge, I know you have a lot to say about this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>NAPOLITANO: Nobody could say it quite as directly and poignantly as our good friend and colleague, Rush. When the court rules the way you don\u2019t want it to rule, you accuse them of being judicial activists. That\u2019s a bit of a snarky definition. What Rush said is true: It is profoundly the job of the court to enforce the Constitution, whether it\u2019s popular or not. That\u2019s why they are life-tenured, so they don\u2019t have to concern themselves with the popularity of their decision. In that respect, Rush is correct, and he\u2019s wise to make this comment as poignantly as he made it. In terms of the president saying, &#8220;The court must understand,&#8221; Rush is also right on the mark. The court does not have to listen to the president. He should not be threatening or admonishing them. And if he shows up at their doorstep and tries to talk to them about this case or playing nice-nice to them in public, they should lock the door and not see him! They can socialize with him after they take their summer break.<\/line><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaSupremeCourtMediaMontage.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He\u2019s responding. You know, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=16078\">I mentioned yesterday<\/a> I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Obama goes up there to see \u2019em, and everybody said, &#8220;Oh, come on!&#8221; Even Snerdley said, &#8220;Come on, Rush. You know that\u2019s not gonna happen.&#8221; While this sound bite was airing I was watching Fox and they had a picture of Obama at the court. I don\u2019t know when he was there. It\u2019s not recent, but he\u2019s been there. And it was a picture of him and Kagan and Sotomayor. Now, he\u2019s been up there. Well, it might not have been at the court, but the judges were there. I don\u2019t know where the picture was taken. I didn\u2019t have the sound bite up, obviously, so I shouldn\u2019t saying that I know where the president was.<\/p>\n<p>But he talks to them. It\u2019s a wild, very remote possibility he would go up there, but I also mentioned: Don\u2019t be surprised if it isn\u2019t long before little school kids start writing letters to the justices saying, &#8220;Please don\u2019t take away my mommy\u2019s health care, \u2019cause then you\u2019re taking away mine. Don\u2019t do it.&#8221; There\u2019s the picture. He\u2019s with the chief justice and Kagan. He\u2019s been up there. It\u2019s not out of the realm. That\u2019s Roberts in there. There\u2019s another picture. Well, we don\u2019t know that that\u2019s at the court. It looks like it\u2019s at the court. They\u2019re all wearing their uniforms, their robes. There he is with Scalia. It\u2019s a long shot. All I was saying was I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he takes a trip up there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Judge Napolitano was on Fox this morning, America\u2019s newsroom.
