Is anyone really shocked? Disappointed, sure, but even surprised? I’d like to post a few comments I made last night. They will mean nothing to the non-believers among us, but I trust the Christians will take heart:
“I’m not expecting a plug nickle from the Supremes. They’ve given us the finger too many times already.”
“[It doesn’t] hinge on SCOTUS. I’ve thought for a long time that the key is Obama’s poll numbers. I don’t trust any of the pollsters—not even one—but after a certain point even they can’t cover for the slide. The rise in gas prices and inflation were inevitable, given Obama’s policies. His numbers are on the way down, and this time they won’t rally. I believe God will cause the right situation to arise at just the right time. We may have to wait a bit yet, but the day of reckoning is coming.”
“I hope I’m too cynical where SCOTUS is concerned. The whole Obama situation has jaundiced me toward the courts. Fortunately, we don’t rely on the courts. God is our ultimate hope, and I still trust Him to pull a rabbit out of the hat when we need it most. In that sense, I’m the last cynical of all, because no matter to what degree the institutions of man let us down, God never will.
Obama has been a lot of things, but lawless is foremost among them. You no doubt know what the Bible has to say about lawlessness. God will deliver us from this regime. It may not be on our preferred time table, but it will happen at the perfect time. That is my firm belief.
I wish I could infuse all of FR with a wave of optimism. Our future doesn’t depend on seven or nine people in black. God has resources at His disposal these people never dreamed of. After however many temporary setbacks, we will prevail. Meantime, we have God’s peace to see us through. A good deal all around. :)”
Bottom line: we’re doing just fine. Obama is riding for a fall any way you slice it. His popularity is slipping, and when it hits a certain point, we’ll start seeing what we want to see. Till then, ignore the SP and keep your focus on Providence. God sees every detail of the future, which is why His time-line is not ours. His is perfect, though, and we’ll frankly be amazed and awed when we see it finally play out.
I would be shocked if any court got involved in these questions.
The Supreme Court sees a House of Representatives that is controlled by the opposition and that can, at any time it wishes, subpoena the Hawaiian birth records. If the GOP doesn't want this issue pursued, how can anyone expect the Supreme Court to become interested?
Well said.
The dominoes are lined up. If any one of them falls many more will fall quickly.
No one person or organization wants to be the first domino. That includes SCOTUS.
Like Watergate, the dominoes need a nudge that usually comes from the press/media. That said, remember that Gibbs directly told the pool to NOT report everything.
Orwellian....
