President Barack Obama took an opening shot at conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, warning that a rejection of his sweeping healthcare law would be an act of "judicial activism" that Republicans say they abhor.
Obama, a Democrat, had not commented publicly on the Supreme Court's deliberations since it heard arguments for and against the healthcare law last week.
Known as the "Affordable Care Act" or "Obamacare," the measure to expand health insurance for millions of Americans is considered Obama's signature domestic policy achievement.
A rejection by the court would be a big blow to Obama going into the November 6 presidential election.
Republican presidential candidates, who are vying to take on Obama in November elections, have promised to repeal the law if one of them wins the White House.
Obama's advisers say they have not prepared contingency plans if the measure fails. But the president -- who expressed confidence that the court would uphold the law -- made clear how he would address it on the campaign trail if the court strikes down the law.

This guy should have been impeached two years ago.
He had a great sinecure at the University of Chicago, “constitutional law lecturer” that he held for 12 years without publishing a single paper or article on any legal matter, let along constitutional law, a real academic prodigy, especially at a top drawer school like U of C.
Thanks for taking responsibility for your error, but P.O.E. also made the same mistake by echoing Mark Simone's echo of the liberal propagandists.
It's important that we counter all such false data wherever we find it. The crap self-perpetuates, even on our side. We simply shouldn't allow that.
You may recall Obama dissing the Supreme Court Justices before Congress and the American public in his annual State of the Union speech a couple of years ago. He doesn't have many admirers among those that sit on the US Supreme Court. This will only add insult to injury ... the Supremes are going to give it back to him in spades.
Sinecure, good word. Is that not our current POTUS as well?
We’ve never actually seen proof that he was a “constitutional scholar”.
Well said, but personal inflections cannot be determined afterward. Nor should they be. It was all me.
I guess I should’ve said “supposedly” has any expertise. IMHO, everything he knows he learned in (muslim) kindergarten. And his hatred of traditional America and its values runs rampant across the spectrum.
In any event, he’s mostly a puppet. I’d love to see a thorough expose of who’s been moving him along all these decades. I’d guess it’s way more than just Soros and Ayers.
This is the second round. Remember the scotus jab at his state of the union speech?????
Four members of the SC would just kiss his butt. These four have no idea what the Constitutions means and are hard core socialists.
This guy was a community organizer which means rabble rouser. He is a first class crook. However he is smart and that makes him very dangerous.
Perhaps the other poster neglected to italicize your statements, and they appeared to be their own. I went back and looked at their post, and I only responded to what looked like their comments.
That is why I put it in quotes! LOL!
Thanks tobyhill.
Nevermind then ‘Windflier’. Better?
