Krauthammer, totally wrong once again.
Something happened to Krauthammer (or perhaps me). I used to agree with him 95% of the time. Now I almost never agree with him. He just sounds like an Obama fanboy — anything that happens seems, to him, like a good thing for the magic negro.
Well that’s it then, the states should immediatly motion to dismiss their cases because Krauthammer says overturning Obamacare will be good for his re-election. /rolleyes.
Krauthammer is way off the deep end on this. Having Obamacare ruled unConstitutional in no way removes the negative aspects of the legislation from Obama. It simply more enhances the image of Obama being a failure as a leader.
I had read here at FR someone post the complete opposite to this opinion by Krauthammer and that the ruling would be a win/win for conservatives and I tend to much more agree with that. The opinion stated basically was that if the Courts rule that it is Constitutional then it makes overturning it legislatively more a major issue and if it is ruled unConsitutional then Obama is a failure and it makes keeping it overturned just as much an issue. (Sorry I do not know where this post is to pinfg to)
Basically as it is with most issues the reality is that either way this ruling goes it is up to both sides and the campaigns to make the ruling a win for them. The conservative base is very fired up over this issue and the left had been giving up defending it. I suspect this issue will be more a win for the right either way.
Still I pray that the Courts overturn Obamacare.
Is Krauthammer on drugs?
If the SCOTUS rules for it: yet more evidence of a tyrannical judiciary forcing the public to accept legislation it was vehemently against but Obama crammed it down our throats anyway.
If they rule against it: a major failure for Obama and the key legislation of his entire presidency.
If I understand his reasoning, if it’s ruled unconstitutional because of the mandate, then Obama can say “I tried shaping the debate over the health care bill, but Congress forgot to include a severability clause, and now it’s gone.” That will get him off the hook?
Seems like the only hazard for the country would be it being deemed constitutional - else, the Nation wins big time as Obama and the Dims suffer another humiliating (but well-deserved) trouncing at the voting boxes.
The curse of intellegent men is their informed but wrong conclusions of reality.
Obamacare will destroy America and repeal or destroy is a win win for Americans.
He’s right. Obama will use it to run against the “right-wing” court. He’s attacked the court before, including in a state-of-the-union. He said the even leftist courts, like the Warren court, didn’t go far enough. He’d be satisfied either way and maybe more satisfied if it is struck down because it would set the stage for his actual goal of single payer.
Let’s be clear -
If the SCOTUS rules it Constitutional - we don’t have a meaningful Constitution anymore. We no longer have a Federal government of “limited and enumerated powers”. If anything - this MOTIVATES the anti-socialist Americans. The final statement of “see what happens when you don’t pay attention.”
We have a central government of apparently unlimited powers.
If unemployment is not below 7% - a gay teenage Martian centipede will beat Obama. It is about the economy - not Obama’s socialism.
PA, MI, and Ohio voters have seen enough. THe Jews in FL - have seen enough. All the lieing media in the world is not going to save this clown.
Krauthammer’s right. People here just feel obligated to disagree with him for some reason. If the Court rules it unconstitutional, it will become a rallying cry for liberals who must turn out to vote to assure an Obama victory — if for nothing else than to turn the Supreme Court liberal.
That's a stretch. "Mr President, will you champion a new health care reform bill that includes an individual mandate?
It seems like this will put focus on the Supreme Court and remind voters that we dare not let Obama be the one to appoint any more Justices. Also, rulings don’t take topics off of the table, ie look at abortion. Sometimes a ruling highlights and revs up discussion.
I don’t think this will be a win-win for Hussein.
SCOTUS ruling it is constitutional...well, it will still be unpopular with a political solution: defund the damnable atrocity. The Republican nominee can show over and over again how the conservatives in government want to apply the LAW-MAKING POWER OF CONGRESS (see: Article I, section 1) to the health of the nation. “We will repeal this unwise legislation.”
SCOTUS ruling it UNconstitutional...well, break out the sound bites and the celebrations Hussein held over this singular piece of legislation—the Republican nominee will be able to show constant reminders of how Hussein put the country through nearly 4 years of unconstitutional law—and how much it COST us in jobs, peace of mind, etc.
Obamacare is the cornerstone of the AnointedIdiot’s foundation; as such, I respectfully disagree with Krauthammer’s assertion(s).
(that means Nancy Pelosi is Igor - kinda works, doesn't it?)
I was listening and that is NOT what Kraut said. He said that obamaprobably considered it a win win.
