I’m not confident that Supreme Court will strike down O-care. There is much intrigue at play. O has heralded his status as a “law professor” and there is a line of thinking that the USSCt is not necessarily the final arbiter of what is constitutional. Yes, Marbury v Madison said so, but that was written by CJ John Marshall. O has openly expressed his disdain for prior court interpretations and even the substance of the founding documents. The Court knows he might well tell them to shove their decision. He and Congress have strangled judicial branch on pay raises and budgets for a supposedly “co-equal” branch. So even the conservatives are squemish in this case. No one took him to task court on the interum appointments of Cordray and others. No one challenges his Executive Orders or creation of czars, or EPA’s and other rules. I think Congress is afaid to take him to court because they think he will ignore the courts. Congress does not even squawk about appointment of independent counsel in Fast & Furious or other crimes. They will not even file subpoenas. Gutless abdication to the Emperor by the other branches.

You read the tea leaves like my sister and I do. We live in very interesting times. Hopefully we will not reap the rewards of cowardice come this November.
