When Chief Justice John Roberts fractured the Constitution and prostituted his own integrity by rewriting the individual mandate in order to find the Affordable Care Act constitutional, it understandably drew both public and media attention away from the Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision that, although the Obama Administration’s Medicaid expansion plans were constitutional, the federal government would NOT be permitted to withhold Medicaid funding from states which refused to implement the expansion. In short, the Obama Regime is not allowed to extort state compliance with its massive increase in Medicaid outlays by refusing to pay the Medicaid funds legitimately owed each state by the federal government.
The decision was quite clear and well represented as two of the Court’s left-wing members even joined the majority. Only Ginsberg and Sotomayor decided that the federal government had the right to use extortion to force the participation of unwilling states in Obama’s racket of providing taxpayer funded insurance (Medicaid) to young, healthy individuals.
And what is the purpose—the real purpose, that is–behind ObamaCare’s expansion of Medicaid? Why is Barack so intent upon forcing states to provide countless billions in “free,” federally provided healthcare benefits to young, “able bodied” individuals?

Why should Hussein obey any Court? What enforcement capability has the Court? Is not enforcement of a court’s decision in the hands of Hussein’s DoJ? Hussein has already established by unchallenged precedent that his DoJ can enforce things selectively. DoJ only has to enforce what the President wants it to enforce. The courts command no troops.
Just an aside, but in that decision, it stated that the entire practice of the Federal Government withholding funds to force states to comply with their “wishes” was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. If implemented, this would mean that states could set the drinking age back to 18 without losing their Federal Highway funding.
I believe!
Accusations that he was blackmailed seemed conspiracy theory back then, but now that we know Sheryl Atkinson’s computer was infected with malware, the executive branch spied on the Senate, that dossiers of political officials exist under NSA spying, that we spied on international world leaders - the idea that the head of the supreme court had a file with incriminating information used to switch his vote is no longer far fetched.

I was accused of having an aluminum helmet back then, too - until all the data started leaking out by way of diligent FReepers and others around the blogosphere that confirmed what I knew intuitively was right.

BTTT for #8
Even though we know it now...won’t they be able to do it to him again?
I actually considered it a conspiracy theory then. Now it seems the likely reality.
