President Obama, employing his strongest language to date on the Supreme Court review of the federal health care overhaul, cautioned the court Monday against overturning the law -- while repeatedly saying he's "confident" it will be upheld.

oh right after that secret vote by the court you can bet Kagan was on the phone calling her boss what and how the results and and who voted how went
?????
“questioned how an “unelected group of people” could overturn a law approved by Congress.”
Congress? The 8% approval rating Congress?
Guess what 0bysmal - You are done! So are the rest of our lame-@ss “leaders” in DC. The tide is turning.
Please hold the line, people. This can be a turning point if we don’t wimp out.
Looks like he’s warning them that if they don’t uphold obamacare, he will ignore the decision based on it was judicial activism by unelected people. It wouldn’t be the first time a president has ignored a SC ruling. And Ginsberg would probably agree with him.
Marbury v. Madison is the landmark case that Democrats revere, where Justice John Marshall stated:
"It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is ..."
Or did our "esteemed" Constitutional Perfessor forget this ???
If I was a law student who was "taught" by Obama - I'd ask for my fuggin' money back ...
And how do we deal with this little arrogant pr#ck? In November we vote in mass, we give him such a smack down that his mother will feel it

Obama sets a very high bar for himself but this may be the most arrogant and offensive thing I have ever heard him say. It ought to be noted that 22% of this “unelected” court are his own nominees and that all seven were confirmed by the votes of 100 elected U.S. Senators.
Maybe we should remember this the next time Eric Holder of one of the hundreds of other “unelected” czars and cabinet appointees makes a decision.
If I’m Romney or Santorum, I hit this comment with both barrels.
FUBO!
Aren’t his Czars an “unelected group of people”
That’s what I thought.
Friggin pathetic excuse for a pResident.
right here.
What about the panel that decides who gets health care? Who elected them?
This tact could backfire badly for BO. I still think this is going 6-3 to overturn the whole enchilada; but the legal opinion for the majority could be great fun to read after this Al Sharpton move by the President.
Bowbama and his unelected Attorney General and his minions, are going after the states who have passed certain laws Bowbama doesn’t like! What about those laws passed by elected officials? What a putz!
A strong majority? LOL Barely passed by bribes and lies
“Good news. This indicates he did not get a secret phone call from the SC saying they voted to keep Obama care. If anything the call was bad news for him.”
I kind of agree. The SC judges had a preliminary vote in chambers Friday. The most likely leak back to the White House is that sleazebag Kagan, his former solicitor general, who should have recused herself anyway. I was looking for Obama to start attacking the SC preemptively if he did get word back from her that it did not look good for Obamacare.His attacking the SC today may be a good sign.
The SC can rule it is unconstitutional. But it has no ability or power to enforce its ruling. If Obama continues like it didn’t happen, who will enforce it? Holder? Good luck. He can continue pressing forward like it never happened. CMS has already issued guideline that regardless of the ruling they will continue implementing all the parts of the law related to cost savings and compliance. He is laying the groundwork for ignoring the ruling.
I keep seeing this over and over. I'm wondering if there are cases already that show reversal of a decision due to a judge NOT recusing themselves. If so, even if O-care is held up, why not more suits due to Kagan herself? She clearly has a conflict of interest here and cannot be impartial.
