Obscure senate candidate goes viral with message of Obama’s ‘constitutional crisis’

President Obama has created a constitutional crisis by announcing he’ll just enforce whatever parts of the Affordable Care Act he feels like, regardless of how the law is written. Ben Sasse, a U.S. Senate candidate in a crowded GOP primary in Nebraska, latched on to this theme right after Obama’s Thursday health care presser.
His video isn’t exactly the most innovative use of social media in campaign history, and it isn’t going to get Sasse a television contract on FOX News. But it still got over a quarter million views after a number of conservative sites (including, finally, Drudge) linked to the YouTube video.
