The dems are obviously applying political pressure on the court, but that could backfire big time I think you're right ... I don't think any of the justices, left or right, look favorably upon intimidation or threats ... especially if done publicly.

Does that sound like a not so veiled threat to anyone but moi? Absolutely sounds like a threat. I hope SCOTUS feels the same way...

“Blumenthal: When in doubt, uphold the law”
Hypocrite! For 50 years that’s NEVER been the attitude taken by liberals when reviewing any state legislation limiting abortion, any immigration laws, any laws restricting race quotas, etc.

Everybody learns in the first year of law school that the law thats challenged is presumed to be constitutionalHe is right about that, the way things are taught; laws are like a person being accused of a crime being innocent until proven guilty. Laws are Constitutional until proven not Constitutional. That is the system.

Two things I guarantee the SCOTUS doesn't like:
Public lectures from Obama and threats, veiled or otherwise, from members of congress.

“The court already has no credibility”
Declaring greenhouse gas a pollutant, and letting the EPA do what they want to control it, sure helps their credibility case!

That plant Kagan should’ve recused herself in the first place and we could of drove a stake in this thing already.

I hope they do threaten SCOTUS. I hope these commielibs push the judges, especially Kennedy, far to the right with their threats and tantrums. What exactly about “unconstitutional” do these marxists not understand?

A rigorous, transparent, and heavily vetted process?
Hmmm.. And 0bamacare still managed to get passed without a severability clause? I guess such ineptitude explains why 0bama was also considered 'eligible' to be president without a birth certificate.
To: Sybeck1
Everybody learns in the first year of law school that the law thats challenged is presumed to be constitutional, Blumenthal said. That is a heavy burden for anyone challenging the constitutionality of a law to overcome. When in doubt, uphold the law. There is a lot of room for doubt here, and there is a lot of clear precedent that requires this court to uphold this law. This is a very telling statement on the thinking of liberals. The fact a law is passed deems it "Constitutional". Thus creating a bar which must be overcome in disqualifying that law. I think we have a window into the process of creating this boondoggle of a law, the process that the democrats and socialists used in drafting this monstrosity.
It doesn't matter what it is, what's in it, or how unconstitutional it is. If it becomes law, it will be next to impossible to overcome.

What they mean is that it will be the Democrat party that will suffer grave damage.

John Kerry was in Vietnam. He got shot in the butt with some rice over there.
