Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committees, Socialist Patrick Leahy, threatened Chief Justice Roberts weeks before the Obamacare case decision is to be made public.
Senator Leahy -
I trust that he will be a chief justice for all of us and that he has a strong institutional sense of the proper role of the judicial branch, said Leahy. The conservative activism of recent years has not been good for the court. Given the ideological challenge to the Affordable Care Act and the extensive, supportive precedent, it would be extraordinary for the Supreme Court not to defer to Congress in this matter that so clearly affects interstate commerce.

RNC = RINOs with NO CAJONES! I think this should be RNC = ALL Republican politicians with absolutely no Cajones (which is Spanish for no balls for those in parts of the country).

Not a peep out of the RNC to this interference.. Well, no. There should not be. If the RNC swings at this, it will be proof to the feeble minds of the Left this really is all political.

Leaky’s boat is sinking...and he’s in it. Good riddance to a perfect @$$hole. He can’t be gone soon enough.

Leaky Leahy giving his opinion that it's time for a dictatorship to help guarantee the survival of his political party and a progressive agenda whether the people will it or not..

Senator Leahy is a semi-senile old man who has lost tract of how things really work. He has only the Democrat’s playbook as a reference. What he says is of no relevence to reality. Obamacare will reap what it has sown.

Until is Wickard v. Filburn is overturned, even the failure of one person to get out of bed in the morning will be held to "affect interstate commerce". And Communist Rat bastards like Leaky Leahy will continue to run our lives and bring ruin to America.

The Left is sure getting whiney lately. Justice Roberts doesn’t stike me as a pushover. Wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall to hear what the Justice really says about Obama care?

He should be in prison or at least North Korea or Havana. The boy isnt an American.Leahy represents the Socialist State of Vermont! The patriots who adopted "Don't Tread on Me" as a motto..., long ago stopped spinning in their graves over the condition of their bel;oved State!
