Strong Majority my ass !!! IIRC, the vote in the House was 219-212, or about 50.3% !!!
WHY does anyone listen to this loser???
“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.
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.
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!
The SOB is crossing the separation of powers line,
AGAIN.
Threatening the SCOTUS??
I can see Ginsburg voting this down just to assert the power of the court.
Overturn the damn travesty of a law
Then kick his illegal ass out of the Presidency
The guy is completely delusional. He is so far out of it. He has to go!
I find it interesting that Drudge has a sub header indicating Obama recieved a leak of the result.
my money would be on sotomayor or kagan.
May 1, 2012 BREAKING: SCOTUS rules Obama ineligible, President to resign, may face arrest...DEVELOPING
The reason they are not elected, Barry is so they are above the need to pander to win elections, and to greatly reduce the risk of corruption and influence.
