This from yesterday, but I have not seen it posted. Interesting to hear Stretch Kerry and other Dems to respond. Imagine how stupid some like Ben Nelson will feel having this struck down after it ending thier career.

If like Kerry says this has been totally vetted, why did they exclude Republicans completely from participating?

"The court commands no armies, it has no money; it depends for its power on its credibility."

Do liberals really think this way?

The court depends for its power on its Constitutional status as the highest level of the judicial branch of government.

Idjits.

I keep waiting for lightning to strike these people.

Their dishonesty is breathtaking.

““The court commands no armies, it has no money; it depends for its power on its credibility. The only reason people obey it is because it has that credibility. And the court risks grave damage if it strikes down a statute of this magnitude and importance, and stretches so dramatically and drastically to do it.”

Kind of like creating a right of ‘privacy’ and then twisting and torturing the English language to make abortion legal?

Kery : “I can tell you that we had one of the most rigorous and transparent legislative processes that I have witnessed in almost 3 decades here in the Congress.”

...

We had to pass it to find out what was in it. How is that transparent??

Just the usual suspects "warning" Supreme Court justices.Kinda like Osama Obama dissing certain members of the Court in a State of the Union speech.

“Everybody learns in the first year of law school that the law that’s challenged is presumed to be constitutional,” Blumenthal said.”

I didn't know that. It explains why the Necessary and Proper clause is kryptonite to the Left. Since the people are the sovereign, there should be a presumption of liberty and not a presumption of constitutionality.

Three hours. Tops. For members and the public to read it, prior to the vote. 2700 pages. So, 15 pages per minute, to read it. Result? NOBODY read it. That's Rigorous. That's Transparent.

Vetted? Really? By whom? The Dems that voted for it didn’t even read the damned thing. This is a blatant attempt to intimidate The Court by 3 sitting Senators by referencing the Courts reliance on the Senate for funding.

How low-brow of Kerry and his merry band of democrat senators to threaten the Judicial Branch.

By threatening the "credibility" of the Court the 'rats are essentially detaching from the rule of law, dropping yet one more of their many masks of sanity.

Yes, I can clearly see why the Democrats would claim that the SCOTUS, upholding the rule of Law according to the letter of the Constitution, would see this as a “discredit”.

BUT DO IT ANYWAY! Discredit me please!
