Huh? That was their preliminary vote before they write their summary briefs. No doubt Kagan gave BO the bad news of what the vote was - which is why he's coming out trying to sway their ultimate decision. I'm just praying his insulting tactic will backfire, as Cheney would say, BIG TIME!
Well, the Narcissist in Chief sure has a funny way of persuading the 'thumbs down' Justices to see things his way. As usual, he's arrogantly offended them with his thuggish comments, and probably didn't even notice.
Watch him act all surprised when the whole thing goes down in flames.
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.
If that was the preliminary vote, when is the final one? Should a judge become metabolically challenged, how do we know the final vote was/wasn’t taken?
