It’s time for the Supreme Court to play chicken with Mr. Chickensh*t.

This bastard actually thinks he gets to dictate!

I sure hope he gets his ass handed to him.

For our sake.

As though Obama hadn’t had his say already—through the pathetic, stumbling, rambling “arguments” of his Solicitor General.

Kagan probably already told him the outcome. So does this mean she said it would stand or be overruled.

Obama wants to be a dictator and go full- rouge.

The court is going through what was brought before them.

His Obamacare was a scheme by him and the democrats who were in control. Now, they want to threaten the court. Praying the court rules the entire thing is unconstitutional.

I do not think Obama Chicago gangsta politics is going to impress the less feeble members of the Supreme Court.

Since when does a president lobby the SCOTUS. They are independent branches. I hope they send his letter back saying that they will not consider it.

Grrr.

I hope the Supreme Court realizes, even if dimly, that their very significance and existence hinges on this ruling. If they cave to the wishes of the Executive, then that's it. The latter days of the Roman Republic. I was just reading about that, by chance:

And yet when Cicero was carrying on his Cilician campaign in strict accordance with Rome's great tradition, the Republic was dying and all but dead. That was in 51 B.C. Nine years before, three powerful party leaders had come together; they agreed to pool their resources and take the government into their own hands. But it was all completely unofficial and no one need take cognizance of it if he chose not. The senate met; the consuls presided; the old political forms were strictly adhered to ...

We need to call BS on this.

There have been other cases in which courts have ruled laws unconstitutional. For him to say it is unprecedented to overturn a law passed by a democratically elected Congress is intellectually dishonest!!!

Republicans need to add this to the list of things to use against Obama in the campaign.

Liberals have no problems when courts overturn laws, such as abortion laws, which liberals don’t like. That’s why it’s patently absurd for him to say this. Liberals love the courts to overturn laws they don’t like. Liberals love it when courts impose new standards, such as affirmative action or homosexual marriage.

But I guess we can’t expect the liberals to be intellectually honest can we????

The man is a tyrant. He already said he’s smarter than all his own policy people, and he thinks he knows better than all the rest of us.

You can’t blame him for being arrogant - look what he’s gotten away with so far!
The first half black communist non-citizen POTUS of the US. The whole thing is mind boggling but as I said - can you blame zero for thinking he’s better than everybody? He might not even belong in this country but there he is riding around on AF1.

For a guy who was touted as a “Constitutional Scholar”, he could use a refresher course or two...

As opposed to all those laws passed by minorities, that the SCOTUS could rule unconstitutional....

And the appointments made by the president, without the advice and consent of Congress, while congress was in session.

Friday and today Obama was agitated and did not look particularly “happy” about the upcoming decision. Contrary to those who believe he's simply setting himself up to look like he was right all along when the decision is finally announced, I'm of the opinion he is furious that the preliminary count is to hold the mandate unconstitutional, and I'm still not sure about the rest.

I believe Kagan has already passed the bad news along to him, and he's reacting as would a spoiled brat who's not getting his way.

A little concept known as checks and balances seems alien to Great Leader.

Obama: “. . . the kind of action that many conservatives for years have criticized as overreaching “judicial activism.”

“. . . unprecedented act”

So now he is redefining what “judicial activism” and “unprecedented” is. At least Bill Clinton limited his redefinitions to sex.

The Court “finding” a right to abortion in the Constitution was true judicial activism. The federal judges in California nullifying election outcomes regarding illegal immigration and same-sex marriage - that’s true judicial activism.

The DOJ suing the state of Arizona and a federal judge putting on hold a law passed by the same state to protect its borders - something the federal government is supposed to do, but doesn’t - that’s judicial activism.

The DOJ saying it won’t prosecute acts of voter intimidation committed by minorities - that’s judicial activism.

“Unprecedented?!!” Just because the Congress passes a law automatically means the law is constitutional??

Why are there not articles of impeachment being drawn up against this President who is refusing to enforce the law and protect the Constitution? Who flagrantly says he will not protect our borders and citizens from threats and intimidation - who is trying to silence opposition - who refuses to stop a private political group - the “new” Black Panthers - from issuing a $10,000 reward on a private citizen being kidnapped - dead or alive?

This rant, “The Supreme Court is over-stepped its bounds”, is the template for the election if Obamacare is struck down. We must be ready to counter Obama and the DNC’s talking points on this.
