In a dispatch on King v. Burwell, the closely watched Obamacare challenge, NPR’s Nina Totenberg observed that the plaintiffs’ attorney, Michael Carvin, argued before the Supreme Court with “red-faced passion.”
Indeed, Justice Sonia Sotomayor hadn’t even finished the preamble to her first question when Carvin interrupted her to finish an earlier thought.
He then caught himself and apologized, at which point Sotomayor tempered him: “Take a breath.”
Carvin needed that moment, because Sotomayor was about to ask a bombshell question about federalism, a subject that later dominated a key portion of the hearing.

As if she even understands what federalism is.
Ah, yes. The Wise Latina stikes again.
Hey, whatever it takes, right?
The Wise Latina has all the brains of a New York hotel maid.
“Take. A breath.”
Good one. Carvin is at least 10X as smart as the Wide Latina.
No wonder he was “red-faced,” having to listen to her bilge.
And that’s even insulting to NYC hotel maids.
The decision by the justices will not be based on any logical interpretation of the law and the constitution. The 4 hard Left justices have no regard for the constitution; they are motivated and animated by a totalitarian Marxist statist ideology. Roberts is a globalist member of the Knights of Malta and he will side with tyranny. Kennedy seems to be motivated by the vanity of his reputation among his elitist friends in legal and political pseudo-intellectual circles.
6-3 for tyranny.
Totally agree. The same thing fir amnesty for invaders. Only Scalia, Thomas and Alitto are in our corner.
Muchas gracias Senior Bush. Muchas gracias por Senior Roberts!!
And they want us to elect his damn brother.
5-4 Against Burwell.
Nina Totenberg! I remember her her during the Thomas hearings. She;s a total asshole!
Ain’t affirmative action great? You get to see another “person of color” show why they got their job.
When the wise Latina is about to set off a bombshell, don’t light a match.
I think this article would be more aptly titled: “Justice Sotomayor uses circular logic to short circuit Justice Kennedy’s brain”.
Exactly.
This is in the bag for Obama. And that’s what the wise latina meant by “Take a breath”. In other words, “Calm down. You’re preaching to the choir. Don’t work so hard. It’s a done deal.”
Neat!
Who cares. Obamacare, the law, was unconstitutional on the face of it.
All that matters is that Benedict Roberts created law from thin air to uphold Obamacare as law. Justice Roberts destroyed the Unites States of America as we knew it. He is an arch-traitor.
America will never ever be the same.
Those days are well numbered. Roberts is empty.
