With Kagan apparently set to vote in the Supreme Courts ultimate decision on the Affordable Care Act . . . the chances that the law, or part of it, will be ruled unconstitutional are diminished. Justice Anthony Kennedy likely remains the critical vote, though there has been speculation that a more conservative court member could end up voting to uphold the law.

As usual, our freedom depends on which side of the bed Justice Kenndey wakes up on. Thank God Roberts and Alito are there to help Scalia and Thomas drag him to the right conclusions.
Leftists never recuse themselves...while non-leftists always wuss out and recuse themselves at the slightest pressure from leftists to do so. It’s time our side grows a set...for a change.

“Its time our side grows a set...for a change.”
I’d be satisfied if they would only grow a pair... :)
This is exactly why Kagan was named to the Court.
This is not new news nor is it a particularly surprising or insightful conclusion. But it is the very banality of the observation that is so appalling. With this declaration the left acknowledges the thorough politicization of the supreme court. Kagan is a guaranteed vote. It no longer matters what the issue is or what the Constitution says, it matters only whether the left can stuff The Court with its faithful adherents. It matters only who decides.
The left has succeeded in politicizing the one branch of government which should have been free from the baleful effects of their leftist poison. There is not an institution they have left alone from education to even including the weather. Small wonder that the Congress has segregated itself into respective camps.
What does one say to a litigant before the Supreme Court of the United States of America: sorry, you lost because the other side won the last election and put their Justice in?
One last observation: this is merely the inevitable corollary to the Democrats' demagoguery concerning race, class, and gender. If the Democrats can collar 95% of the African-American vote because they run a black candidate for president, then white voters are fully justified in voting for someone on the basis of race. If the Democrats politicize the court and turn this into a country not of laws but of men, then every thinking and voting citizen is a fool if he does not vote his race, his class, and his/her gender.
If Boehner had any guts, he would draft articles of impeachment against her for obvious judicial bias and misconduct in not recusing herself.
But he won’t. That’s why I’m done with the Republicans. I will no longer vote for the R after a candidate’s name. I’m going to vote solely based on whether or not I want the person in office, not the party, and whether or not the person I want to win actually has a chance of doing so.
I think we are looking at a 5-4 for unconstitutional. If Barry and the boys thought it would go their way they would be trying to expedite it.
