Predictions were that if the Supremes' preliminary vote on Friday dumped Obamacare, Kagan would leak and WH would start slamming the Court.

Maybe it's time to ice some champagne?

The president stressed that the judges are "unelected" and noted that the law was deemed as passed by a democratically elected Congress.

There...fixed it.

"the president said Monday afternoon at a White House press conference that included ‪Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper...." As a Canadian, allow me to say I'm offended that our Obama drew our P.M. into this domestic U.S. issue, at a press conference about international matters.

Hmmm.... That coming from a constitutional scholar? There are three branches of government within the United States of American. Executive, Legislative and the Judicial. When our forefathers established this it was to make checks and balances on government.
What will Obama do when SCOTUS finds ObamaCare unconstitutional?

The 19th Century gave the world heavyweights like Max Planck and Albert Einstein.

The 20th Century gave us towering figures like Enrico Fermi, Winston Churchill and Werner Von Braun.

The 21st century gives us a featherweight named Barack Obama in the presidency to show how far we have fallen toward the lowest common denominator.

"I'm confident this will be upheld because it should be upheld"

Well then, that should give the Supremes all the intellectual and historical guidance they need.

Soooo. . . . This is going to be his 'straw man' argument!

For him to take conservative opposition to what they describe as "judicial activism" and attempt to turn it against the Court's appropriate role of interpreting the Constitution's limits on government power is the maneuver one might expect from him. Meanwhile, his own appointee knows exactly what conservatives have meant when they speak of "judicial activisim."

When conservatives complain about "judicial activism," they are describing the same kind of "activism" as his appointee to the Court, Sotomayor, described in her meeting at Duke University when she stated that the "court of appeals is where policy is made," and then added, "I know I shouldn't have said that, but . . . ."-- with a smile.

His open attempt at intimidating what he referred to as the "unelected" branch of government is a reminder of the wisdom of America's Founders in their making it just that: an "unelected" and, hopefully, an independent and objective group of individuals who would look to the approbation of future generations, and their liberty and freedom, rather than the railings or approval of a temporary and Partisan political leader of the moment.
