” Im not convinced he has inside knowledge of the vote”
You should be. Do some research on Kagan.
I guess my fear is this is all a giant rope-a-dope, and when the actual ruling is released we will find out we have been enslaved with the help of SCOTUS. I don’t doubt that obama and his minions are capable of communicating about this through back channels, I’ve just lost faith that the constitution means anything to these people any longer. And, bam will set up an argument for either way the ruling goes so he doesn’t look bad.
