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.

“Everybody learns in the first year of law school that the law that’s 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.”

Barf! What rubbish!! The RATS did everything they could to ram this down our throats, illegally using the reconcilation procedure, excluding the Republicans, and then now claim it is the most constitutionally protected bill ever put forth! The Rats are smoking weed!

Looks like White House Insider is right again.

“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.”

READ: If the court doesn't rule the way we want, we don't have to obey the court.

After that shameful thing Obozo did during the last “State of the Union” speech where he made negative comments about the Court. I believe I’d be very careful about any challenges or implied threats to or about the Court. Be they Big Time judges, they are still human and can respond, in their own way, to what might be said or done!

A handful of Senate Democrats sought to assure doubtful liberals that the Supreme Court justices aren’t ready to strike down their crowning achievement, standing before cameras and mics Wednesday in front of the court. One warned that doing so would ruin the court’s credibility.

Are these fools threatening the SCOTUS!!???

Wednesday, I posted the following. I noticed that Rush L. voiced similar concerns today. [Did he read my post?]

I’ll bet ol’ obama is wishing that he hadn’t pissed the scrotums off in his state of the union address. Payback is a bitch and now it’s getting paid back...

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

Sounds like Blumenthal is paraphrasing Stalin when he asked; "How many divisions does the Pope have?"

Dems Warn Of ‘Grave Damage’ To SCOTUS If ‘Obamacare’ Is Struck Down

Are they going to 'Breitbart' them? Maybe have Black Panthers put out 'Wanted - Dead or Alive" posters - with big rewards?

Or threaten their parents and families?

Or stick the 'oh so biased New York Times and Washington Post on them?

Spooooo many ways to be thuggy - so little time.

The biggest detriment to the bill is in the one justice who asked why they should be the ones to go through the 2700 page bill and pick-and-choose what to keep and what to throw out.

That would seem to indicate that the justices don’t want that task.

[I hope they declare it, in its entirety, unconstitutional. Send it back to Congress. Let Nancy read it and find out what is in it.]

“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.

Dude! The Senate dropped their own legislation and picked up the House version lock, stock and barrel without debate and passed it using a technicality. What rigor was involved here?

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

Wow. That's quite a statement. “As a senior member of the Finance Committee,” he said, “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 worked with some of the brightest, most thoughtful and experienced constitutional lawyers in order to make sure that the law was constitutional.”

Yeah, that's what was being reported during the whole process. Nothing but "transparency" the whole way.

Well then from their view the Court already trashed it’s credibility two years ago with Citizens United.

So who cares?

The SCOTUS was absolutely sacrosanct in the eyes of leftists during all those years it returned liberal decision after liberal decision. Now that they’re facing a possible significant loss, the Left is threatening it with quotes from Joseph Stalin: “How many divisions has the SCOTUS? Not enough to prevent us kicking their butts if they rule against us.”

Is this not an out and out threat?

What are the odds obama will go “Andrew Jackson” on the Court?
If he did, would MSM and both Houses Of Congress react at all?

I have wondered if that was a real possibility. Could Obama and the left force a Constitutional crisis as a way to sow more turmoil?

For the first time I’ve really just considered that a civil war, or succession may actually be in the near future.
