Senator Schumer is pretty sure that the Supreme Court is not one of the equal but separate branches of government, so as such it’s possible that Chuck’s 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 Cuccinelli’s case is problematic because he may lack sufficient standing to challenge the health care law. [...] In his filing last month, Cuccinelli said there’s a “palpable consensus” that the high court will ultimately have to pass judgment on the merits of President Obama’s 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 they’re absolutely convinced of the health care law’s constitutionality, so with that in mind wouldn’t you think they’d welcome a fast-track opinion on the law and ultimate thumbs-up from the Supreme Court?

Scotus should take the case and rule it void by next week.
SCOTUS should demand to see some ID.
They need more time to get one of the Conservative justices to retire...... or to bring phony charges up to muddy the waters....
The libs are idiots repeal Commiecare now and make it a campagin issue..
Does the SCOTUS have original jurisdiction?
Do you notice a pattern of “no standing” no matter how/what is challenged with this administration??? My teeth are going to ground to nubs.
lol
Justice Alito should contact the WH and suggest that should have been conveyed to them at the SOTU address.
Orders from our communists black Muslim dictator and they better listen.
Hmmmm. I wonder. Does F. Chuck Schumer have standing in this case?
I find it interesting that a law that directly affects my well being and economic welfare is passed, I believe it is unconstitutional, and yet I have “no standing” to file a suit.
We’re all going to be babbling idiots by the time this creep returns to Chicago or wherever it is Marxists head for today...
Outstanding!!!
Amen. Well said.
