Obama going off the deep end.

Quote:

US President Barack Obama on Monday challenged the "unelected" Supreme Court not to take the "extraordinary" and "unprecedented" step of overturning his landmark health reform law.

And the BS comment tops it all :

Quote:

"Ultimately, I am confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress," Obama said.

That's funny.

Quote:

But supporters say that the government is within its rights to regulate the health industry as it has the power to oversee commerce across state borders.

After the restoration, the ``commerce clause`` needs to be taken out from the constitution.

Don't worry, he's a constitutional scholar, remember?

Forget it, final opinion for sure on Monday.

...doesn't matter to me personally....I'm still not payin'. **** 'em, and their "penalty".

My health care has risen almost 200% coinciding with the passage of Obamacare. I wonder if it will go down if the bill is struck down?

( I know , it is a silly hope. )

If this doesn't get overturned I'm going to vote against Obama in November.

Ruling delayed.

I wonder why???

"My health care has risen almost 200% coinciding with the passage of Obamacare. I wonder if it will go down if the bill is struck down?"

Poll: Just 1 in 3 backs Obama health care law

Enough said.

"What’s wrong with leaving this in the hands of those who should be fixing this?" asked Sotomayor, referring to Congress.

This partisan bitch would rewrite, strike down, judicially order, and re-interpret any and every law she comes across, but when there's a Constitutional issue with her Dear Leader's pet law, it's time for Judicial Restraint? You have to be ****ing kidding me.

I still believe just the mandate will be killed.
There is just too much non-healthcare stuff in this bill that has been done already to back it out.

Anyway, we'll know within 24 hres...

So finally, the ruling on health care will be on Thursday...

Obama Health Law Seen Valid, Scholars Expect Rejection

The U.S. Supreme Court should uphold a law requiring most Americans to have health insurance if the justices follow legal precedent, according to 19 of 21 constitutional law professors who ventured an opinion on the most-anticipated ruling in years.

Only eight of them predicted the court would do so.

Valid... yeah right.

If it is upheld it should be recorded as the official day that the Constitution died. While it has long been on life support this should be the final nail in the coffin. What they do after this will be a full blown police state with national ID's, no cash, etc.

I've been reading various tea leaf reading about this, and the latest is the SC watchers are convinced Roberts is writing the opinion and he and Kennedy are on the same side. This is based on a bunch of convoluted inside baseball stuff about precedence and who writes what and who assigns who to write what and all that good stuff. Roberts hasn't published any opinion for the last two months and that would make sense if he's been working on the majority Obamacare opinion for the last two months.

So thus, it will be either 5-4 to strike it down (to whatever degree, just the mandate, or the whole things, or anything in between) or 6-3 to uphold it all, with Roberts and Kennedy joining the 4 libs.

The argument for Roberts joining the libs to uphold is that he wants as a large a majority as possible and/or wants to limit it as much as possible by joining in and writing the opinion to uphold himself.

Another tea leaf in this direction is Scalia is grumpier than usual. They say for the last 10 years or so, he always gets really grumpy, writing fire and brimstone dissents on other cases when he loses the big one of the term. His Arizona law dissent definitely was pretty scathing and grumpy.

However, former clerks of Roberts don't buy he would go along with the libs for such cynical purposes on such a fundamental constitutional question.

And on the third hand, all of this could be wrong this time around, so who knows.

who knows. all i know is i will never pay any fine for not having health insurance.

I think it's going to stand when the court punts and does nothing (but says that they won't do anything until some is actually "injured" by the law). SCOTUS doesn't care about the constitution. Just look at eminent domain decisions to see why. We're all being played by this "three card monty" system. Not sure why everyone thinks this other government entity is there to "save" you. It's not.

Enjoy your obamao "care"...

Latest is they think (Ruth Buzzi) Ginsburg is writing an Obamacare opinion as well. If that's true and Roberts is writing the other opinion, then it's certain to be 5-4 to strike down. Ginsberg is the most senior lib, so that would make her the one if Kennedy went with the conservatives.

Lowbeyond : and then they'll jail you for it.

If it is upheld it is a serious win for freedom minded people. We can pass a law that everyone is required to own a firearm.

Lowbeyound’s attitude is not unique. Long Prison stocks?

Geo Group Inc. (GEO)

Cornell Companies Inc. (CRN)

Avalon Correctional Services Inc. (CITY.PK)

Which looks best?

I think Oblablah scolding the USSC was a tell that he was given a headsup that it was going down. So it was posturing/positioning for him. He'll be able to claim he did what was best in bringing the law and that he's needed to bring it back. SC is the scapegoat.

Well then I have a choice dont I? Admittedly some pics poor ones but a choice nonetheless.

Isn't that the LITERAL definition of a SLAVE?

Yes pretty much.

Aint that a hoot.

PS. I dont/wont fault anyone who does pay the fine or goes out and get insurance. That is their choice. Everyones circumstances are different, so no worries there.
