Senator Schumer is pretty sure that the Supreme Court is not one of the equal but separate branches of government, so as such its possible that Chucks advised the White House that they have the power to tell the Supreme Court what to do:
The Obama administration told the Supreme Court on Monday night it should stay away from a high-profile challenge to the 2010 health care law until after a lower court has had a chance to review the case.
Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal wrote, there is no basis for short-circuiting the normal course of appellate review. Katyal also says Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinellis case is problematic because he may lack sufficient standing to challenge the health care law. [...] In his filing last month, Cuccinelli said theres a palpable consensus that the high court will ultimately have to pass judgment on the merits of President Obamas health care law and should do so without delay. Furthermore, Cuccinelli argues that his case involves pure issues of constitutional law that appellate judges on the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals will be unable to definitively resolve. Team Obama has said theyre absolutely convinced of the health care laws constitutionality, so with that in mind wouldnt you think theyd welcome a fast-track opinion on the law and ultimate thumbs-up from the Supreme Court?
I hope the Supremes take note of the attitude coming from the White House.
Only in our dreams but this SC is very passive. As the nation burns they sit on their buns. There is no place to turn in this world but toward God. If this bill is not found in it's entirety to be unconstitutional then there must be an all out revolution or live in a communist state.
I hope some of the Supremes are still ticked at Obama for
turning the State of the Union into a heckling of the Justices. I hope they have verrrry long memories...
“Katyal is best known for successfully defending Salim Hamdan, Osama bin Laden’s chaffeur, before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2006. His victory forced Congress to craft an alternative plan to George W. Bush’s military commissions and the legal ramifications of Hamdan v. Rumsfeld are still resonating throughout the legal and policy world”

And his arrogance is built on argon gas...inert.
It is time to impeach this charlatan.
With all his putative education, it would seem Obama never learned the phrase “separation of powers.”
Oh how I hope that the Supreme Court is drafting a letter telling 0 to go suck an egg. We’ve seen the damage that always results when this nutcase gets his way.
And in Bloomberg's line of work, that's saying something!
It is a delaying tactic intended to allow the implementation of as much of Obamacare as they can before the SC declares it unconstitutional.
They need more time so that they can arrange for an unfortunate accident to befall one of the conservative SC justices.
This isn’t a “separation of powers” issue. The administration is a party to a lawsuit. The other side (Virginia, etc.) filed papers in the Supreme Court requesting expedited review. The administration, as a party to the case, responded by filing papers opposing expedited review. Where’s the separation of powers issue here?
“SCOTUS should demand to see some ID.”
“SCOTUS should demand to see some ID.”
“SCOTUS should demand to see some ID.”
My understanding is that the Chief Justice of SCOTUS is the chief administrator of the Federal Court system and can take any case once it is in the Federal Court system. Bush V Gore 2000.

Even the liberal supremes should be outraged by this.
At least Il Duce made the trains run on time.
And if you’ve ever had to deal with the Italian railroad system you’d understand that had Benny even come close to doing that it’d rank as one of the greatest feats of the Twentieth Century........
