His audience is the public and this is his plan B. He is undermining the legitimacy of the court's decision, so he can run against that, rather than having to defend why his primary focus when the world was crumbling was passing an unconstitutional law.
And he got bitch slap by an appellate court judge, which is so beneath him. It was absolutely terrible from a political standpoint.

You realize that your first two paragraphs are entirely consistent with what Ty said, right? You only differ on whether it helps or hurts Obama to have set up the question.
