“Oral argument seldom changes the justices’ minds regardless of how impressive an advocate’s performance is. “
That’s what I think, too. And none of them REALLY want to say no to the king. He would simply impeach any opposition by executive order and get rid of them. Who would stop him?
It’s all a “dog and pony show”, the Justices made up their minds months ago, nothing that happens will sway their vote one way or the other.
There isn’t a person in this world who would have looked good representin his case yesterday. He had absolutely nothing to work with.
You can make a man chip paint, but you can’t tell him how fast he’s going to chip, or how good a job he’s going to do.
Who COULD defend the indefensible? Most liberal tenets have to be bolstered with pretzel rhetoric, revisionist history, distortions and outright lies, and this one’s no exception.
The mandate is clearly not constitutional, under contract law, equal protection, separation of powers, states rights, restraint of trade, and it also alters the individual’s relationship to the government. Obamacare is not merely un-constitutional, it is anti-constitutional.
The only thing that’s not clear is how the Supremes will rule.
Hard to sound confident when lying and defending the undefendable.
Lipstick on an Obama pig bill is still just lipstick on an obama pig bill.
If the Obama administration had wanted a solicitor general who could win, they should have offered Robert Bork $100 million to come out of retirement and write and then argue the case before the Court....
But the left would have lynched themselves before they’d resort to doing something like that.... (giggle!)
The fix is in.
They will back Obama.
Can’t have the first negro president go down in the history books as a blihering commie nincompoop.
Even though he is.
*sigh*
Obamacare is not merely un-constitutional, it is anti-constitutional.
It should be a crystal clear forgone conclusion...
Seems to me that the Commerce Clause is too often used as a 'Commie' Clause.
Maybe the guy is choking on purpose. Maybe Obama wants this to fail so he can re-submit the healthcare issue as an actual tax for establishing 100% socialized medicine. It would appeal to his base of loser takers.
I agree with your observation. Hard to sound confident when your arguments are hollow.
When will the Supreme Court’s final decision on this case be made public?
Sometime in June. I think this is all formality and the decision has already been made. I’m not full of confidence.
It's really hard to argue that bullsh*t doesn't smell.
Then he can run against Congress and the conservative Supremes.
And he can drum up his lethargic base, by proposing the "only" thing he can now do about the health care "crisis"... SINGLE PAYER... which is what he and the left wing really wanted all along.
I’m afraid I agree with you. The ruling will probably be something like “We’re going to rule that the government can force the citizens to purchase insurance but that doesn’t mean the government can force the citizens to purchase a Chevy. We’ll consider future forced purchases on a case by case basis.” Then, as Rush said and as we all know, that is the end of the constitution and liberty.
Don’t flame me. It’s just mho.
