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?
They must be thinking two things. One, is that the current court would rule against. Two, is that one of the conservatives will be leaving soon.
Soon you will not be president and btw, I need to thank you for one thing: You have cured the country of ever electing a socialist/communist again. Remember, it's November 6, 2012.
I suspect he told them after his second oath what they would be allowed to touch and do.
?
they probably waiting for an accident to happen to a conservative judge so they can get one of there own in and then they dont have to worry about the Supremes
Amen to that!
Why should the Supreme Court be outraged by this? The Obama administration is a party to a lawsuit, and responded to a request made by the opposing side. Nothing outrageous here.

. . . . !
White House tells Supreme Copurt to stay away from Obamacare.
That isn’t he scary part.
The scary part is they will do what they are told to do.
They were told to stay away from his Birth Certificate too, and they did it.
keep talking oh arrogant elitist one, you might think you;’re a dictator but the more you talk about he court the more you’ll be pissing them off
We don’t have three separate branches. The Supremes evade the problem and the Legislature runs along behind The Won like a little puppy.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This is outrageous. It should be the top news item if Japan’s tragic events were not in the news.
The President is trying to pressure the Supreme Court. Very disturbing misuse of power.
Sorry - not an attorney. I just assumed this was something for the courts to settle, without input from the White House.
President Barack Obama's Justice Department has filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in opposition to a request from Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to have the case come up for consideration before the nation's high court more quickly than it otherwise might. (Source)
This is clearly a stalling tactic (0 knows that the Supreme Court, as currently constituted, would strike down the law), but it's not any sort of misuse of power.
Stay away from us. We'll call you.
Nazi fascists in the White House? This just isn’t the same America it once was. Back in the day, fascist dictators would have been thrown out of the White House on their ass. Now they live there.
There are no bounds that this man will not cross.
Lets agree on a date for this...I’ll be there...
with a sharpened attitude this time!
