Wow. Sounds like the rantings of a lunatic.

[boomop1]

He needs to be purged from the court for being an idiot.

[Dick Vomer]

he's a liberal. "facts" don't matter. look at this video in it's entirety and you'll see why he and the other liberal CAN'T be persuaded by facts. Even if they are placed in front of their very faces. These people would somehow blame Bush if a muslim tied them up, put them on their knees, cut their heads off and videotaped it for later broadcast.

For the quick view go to about 2:50 into the video...but the entire 9 part series lays it all out. This isn't a Russian or KGB thing.. It's a COMMUNIST/UTOPIAN/SOCIALIST war against freedom and the United States has been at war since the late 40's. It is a great world wide anti freedom war.

Senile dementia. Say, where’s that drawing of Ginsberg asleep on the bench? The Liberal Wing of the Court would be a laughing-stock but for the damage its done.

[Bigun]

EXCELLENT analysis and explanation!

Thanks!

[Not A Snowbird]

This one needs to retire.

[crosshairs]

What I want to know is, did his outburst wake up Ruth Buzzie Ginsberg? Or did she continue to sleep through it?

[Paine in the Neck]

Wow. Sounds like the rantings of a lunatic.

Indeed. I'd like to think that someone on the USSC could construct extemporaneously a grammatically correct sentence, never mind a coherent paragraph. This is the kind of stuff you hear from derelict winos. If this is a window to his disordered thinking I'm surprised he could find his way to work. It sounds like Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi, briefed with all the talking points, but not able to assemble them into actual English.

And still, after all the dust, obamacare is not at all about regulating the interstate commerce of "health care." It is about regulating the health insurance industry, which is by design not interstate.

This comment on Justice Breyer's nonsensical musings, when combined with those of Justice Kagan, should alarm every citizen who cherishes the Constitution's underlying principles, as articulated and explained by America's Founders and Framers of that Constitution's protections for liberty.

My post from another thread related to Kagan:

"Kagan: "'The exact same argument so, so that really reduces to the question of: why is a big gift from the federal government a matter of coercion?
"'In other words, the federal government is here saying: we’re giving you a boatload of money. There are no, is no matching funds requirement. There are no extraneous conditions attached to it.
"'It’s just a boatload of federal money for you to take and spend on poor people’s healthcare. It doesn’t sound coercive to me, I have to tell you.'"

This statement tells us everything we need to know about Justice Kagan's concept of "coercive power" versus "individual liberty" and the Constitution's protections for the latter.

America's Founders viewed "government" as "coercive" by nature.

America's Founders understood that "government" creates no money, has no money, and cannot "gift" money without first "taking" it from someone--a "coercive" act in itself.

Besides, this "boatload of money" is not "federal money." It is "the People's" money, and who is naive or uninformed enough to believe that "taking" it from the people, sending it to Washington, and then doling it out to the States is an efficient way to provide "poor people's health care"????

Oh, how far we have come from the genius and wisdom which gave birth to America's Constitution, America's liberty for all, and America's prosperity and greatness!!!

I hope that these members of the Supreme Court will understand that future generations of Americans and individuals all over the world, given the new technologies which enable them to study the Founders' ideas, will judge them by the Framers' standards, not by the standards of the so-called "progressive" politicians in this Administration.

"Ideas have Consequences" (Weaver). America's Founders' ideas produced freedom, opportunity, prosperity and plenty for hundreds of millions of oppressed people.

The "progressives'" ideas of redistribution (socialism) have produced approaching tyranny and oppression, mediocrity, and want, in every society where they have been tried.

:: he’s a liberal. “facts” don’t matter. ::

The only thing that matters is how the liberal interprets the “facts” at that very time and moment if it furthers the neo-communist cause.

[jurroppi1]

BTTT.

[Bigun]

Excellent post!

BRAVO!!!

[combat_boots]

So, Kagan and Sotomayor are idiot plants, Breyer and Ginsberg are withering, potted, idiot plants.

And the Senate put them there, making the Senate nothing but weeds masquerading as ‘plants.’

[FreeAtlanta]

We need to win enough seats in the house and senate (60%?) to impeach and remove at least one justice just to get the courts attention.

Kagan would be the easiest after not recusing herself, but I would be happy with one or more of the liberal “make laws up as we go” justices.

While I agree with most of this article, I must point out that there is a minimum speed, 40 mph is the norm, on the interstate. You will be fined for driving below that speed.

That said, Bryer is definitely a Liberal, who will vote to retain Obamacare, regardless of logical arguments against it.
