If I had more time I could get you a list but Obama himself recently stated he wished he could bypass Congress. You might call that a flippant statement but as we have seen with the roving bands of blacks attacking white people because of the color of their skin you realize that words have meaning.

Please don't tell me you really believe Oblamer sending Obamacare to SCOTUS is because of his love for the system of checks and balances? This is a purely political move to aid his reelection bid. Two scenarios that help him. Law is confirmed by the SCOTUS and the GOP loses its argument about the law being unconstitutional and has to rely on it being unpopular. He simply argues that its unpopular because of all the lies told about it and people will change their mind as its implemented. Doesn't work on intelligent people but could fool a lot of independents (those same ones he fooled in 2008).

Law is vacated as unconstitutional (a more likely outcome because of his disrespecting of SCOTUS in his state of the union and the fact that the law is actually unconstitutional). Takes away a very unpopular law that promises to be the centerpiece, along with jobs and the economy, of the GOP argument that he does not deserve a second term. And it provides red meat to the left wing nuts that he needs another term so he can appoint a leftist to replace one of the right or center-right justices.

All in all good politics but not done out of any respect for the constitution or the system of checks and balances. I can assure you if he could figure out a way to do it he would bypass Congress altogether.
