Pelosi: Obamacare Will Be Upheld 6-3, ‘Because I Know the Constitution’ By Elizabeth Harrington May 31, 2012 Subscribe to Elizabeth Harrington's posts
(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care law, predicting a 6-3 decision because, as she remarked, “I know the Constitution.”
At a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday, a reporter asked Pelosi, “Madame Leader, the Supreme Court is getting ready to rule in the next month or so on the health care bill, and you’ve expressed pretty high confidence – I think you said 6-3 – but I’m just wondering if Democrats and the Democratic leadership have had any discussions or meetings to plan for any sort of contingency plan given the possibility that the court could strike provisions from the law or the whole law, I’m wondering if Democrats are having any meetings to discuss contingency plans?”
Pelosi, in reference to how the nine-judge court will rule, said, “6-3. That’s it. 6-3.”
She was then asked why she was so confident about her prediction.
“Because I know the Constitution,” Pelosi said. “This bill is ironclad. It is ironclad.”
“Nobody was frivolous with the Constitution and the health of the American people in writing the bill,” she said. “So, that’s where my confidence springs from, the merit of the bill and the nature of the Constitution.”
“The makeup of the court, well, we’ll see,” Pelosi said.

What a vacuous, delusional hag.
Hey Nancy, it will go down 6-3 or 7-2 because in passing this mess it shows that you do not know the Constitution.
And, she also predicted she would still be the speaker of the House after the 2010 elections.
Maybe Kagan or Sotomayor have told her what the result will be. I hope not, but to make such a bold prediction seems a bit crazy to me.
Simple - today’s media is largely nothing more than the propaganda arm of the DNC.
It’s a shame all of the Supreme Court Justices don’t know the Constitution.
This is the same Idiot that said “well, we have to vote on the bill to see what’s in it”.
This country needs some kind of divine intervention when ignorant voters keep electing retards like this. Making us all suffer the effects.
I’d settle for a eathquake along the San Andreas Fauilt that takes that Commie infested state into the ocean as a good start.
Someone should get that over sized gavel that Nazi has and bop her on the head every time she speaks nonsense in public.
Nancy dear, you have to read the Constitution to know what’s in it!
She spells Constitution: worthless piece of paper.
Nancy reads SCOTUS opionions before they are issued like she votes on stuff before they vote on it to see whats in it....her whole district ought to be dumped off Fishermans Wharf and left to fend for itself...

I had to check if this was Satire,...
*sigh* It’s not.
Dear Airhead Pelosi, You don’t know jack!
You have to parse what she’s saying.
Don’t assume she means the US Constitution. Like most of her reality, it does not, nor could it exist, so she lives in a delusional fantasy land where a naked Obama rides his pet unicorn across rainbows.
And she certainly doesn’t mean the “Bill of No Rights”, by Libertarian Lewis Napper:
