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.

Mr. Obama, it is the “unelected group of people” that is charged with writing what is yet unwritten in this law that we fear far more than this particular group to whom you refer.
The Supremes are “unelected” for a reason. They are appointed for life terms because the founders felt that one of the branches of government needed to be free of having to campaign for votes, thereby retaining the ability to be impartial.
As a constitutional scholar, I’m sure you were aware of that...../sarc
“John Roberts has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”
He QUESTIONS how the Supreme Court can strike down a law? Ok it goes something like this YOU FREAKING DUMMY!!!!: The Supreme Court is a co-equal branch of government. For a law to stay in effect, it requires the assent of ALL THREE of the separate and co-equal branches of government. NOW GIT THE HELL OUTTA MY HOUSE!
An initial vote is not the final vote. Saying something like this could tweak one of them to change it because they want to be able to do their job without the executive branch threatening them and appearing to bow to its wishes and appear subordinate. Doesn’t matter if you’re liberal or not. They can’t set the precedent of appearing to be lesser than the executive branch, or be schooled by the executive branch on their exclusive branches’ power. Much less the executive branch’s blatant threat against them.
Of course Obama could also be doing this to guarantee they have to strike it down, in order to use it as a campaign issue for 2012.
Yep. Perfect. :-)
I am going to hold my judgement until the decision is out. The courts will need us to defend them if they do the right thing. We will need to shun and turn our backs to them, if they do the wrong thing by supporting the monstrous Obamacare.
To think this headline was satire a few hours ago....
I can actually imagine "The Won" saying that. Actually strike that, that is something that BiteMe would say. (Wile 0 was playing golf)
“questioned how an “unelected group of people” could overturn a law approved by Congress”
That shows Obama is as dumb as his picks:
The liberal Supreme Court justices have demonstrated profound and shocking ignorance of the American health care system. Here’s one of the most jarring examples:
“What percentage of the American people who took their son or daughter to an emergency room and that child was turned away because the parent didn’t have insurance,” asked Sotomayor, “... do you think there’s a large percentage of the American population that would stand for the death of that child — (who) had an allergic reaction and a simple shot would have saved the child?”

I know what he’s doing.
He wants Obamacare struck down.
He wants to run with this as a 2012 election issue.
Vote for me, I will make sure the court gets the right people on it.
There will be a lot of upcoming retirements. If he’s in the next 4 years, all the libs who retire get replaced with Sotofatasses or Boatload Kagans. All the conservatives who retire get replaced with Sotofatasses or Boatload Kagans.
Then the court will have no judicial activism because they will all be liberal and when liberals do judicial activism, it’s not judicial activism.
This is what is going on. Start getting prepared. We have to make sure our cnadidates pledge to nominate only strict constitutionalists to the SCOTUS and EVERY position underneath it. No moderates or liberals anywhere. We are already swimming in them and are suffering for it, some for decades now.
i think he meant democrats not democratically.
No, because Holder has already established the precedent of selective enforcement in regard to the Black Panthers at the polling site and has seemingly gotten away with it.
I’m actually encouraged by this.
I am 100% sure that Elena Kagan leaked the results of the vote to Barry as soon as it was over.
This reaction sounds like a bit of a freakout, indicating that he has lost and lost big.
That’s what I’m expecting, Andrew Jackson redux.
It doesn't matter what the truth is, just the impact of the statement.
Even if someone makes a big deal of it, it's vague enough that the other side can then be painted as having their "tin foil wound too tight".
It also gives a narrative for the MSM to push out to the masses who don't know Robert's Rules of Order from a Chick-fil-a menu...
Hospitals that have emergency rooms cannot turn anyone away for emergency medical care. There are already laws for it. Wow she doesn’t know anything. I wonder if she really knows American law?
Hell, nobody expected Carter to lose all 50 states either. What was it 49? No matter. It was “unexpected”.
