What Kind of Justice Would President Obama Mete Out?

I’m no lawyer, but it sounds like there are those here who can answer my question.

Isn’t there a legal concept regarding my individual right to know what the law is (and is not)? Let’s say I’m a rich fat cat and I want to enter a contract. I have my lawyers thoroughly vet every line to make sure it’s legal. Now, the contract may not be fair to the other party, but the law says it is not unconstitutional?

In Obama’s world it wouldn’t matter. The court could find my contract illegal simply because it disadvantaged some less fortunate soul. And I’m left holding a constitution that has no meaning—none that can be relied upon, that is.
