The democrats never stand up to their own, but were willing to take all the help they could get when bringing down Nixon. James Baker was more Democrat than Republican.
None of this could happen without the help of some powerful Republicans. Mark my words the Supreme Court will issue some very bad decisions soon.
Bad for whom? Us or the Dems? If you say bad for us, I am afraid you might be right. Everyone seems to be convinced that the Supremes are going to trash Obamacare and the Arizona law — I’m less convinced.
I think the Arizona law may survive, but my gut feeling on Obamacare is that they are not going to strike down the mandate. I am not sure how they will justify it, but they won’t.
I do, however, expect a very strongly worded dissent from Justice Scalia.
