WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As the U.S. Supreme Court prepared to announce a decision on President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, one of the legislation's chief supporters predicted that it would be upheld by a 6-3 vote.

Nancy Pelosi, the House of Representatives' Democratic leader, said she can see Chief Justice John Roberts siding with Obama in an anticipated divided Supreme Court ruling on Thursday.

"I believe 6-3," Pelosi told the Reuters Washington Summit on Wednesday.

She reasoned that a decision upholding the law would require the support of Justice Anthony Kennedy, a moderate conservative who often controls the outcome of the court's rulings since the justices frequently are split in their decisions.

"If you get Kennedy, I don't think that Roberts would want it to look political" and oppose it, Pelosi said, alluding to the fact that Roberts has said he favors unanimity on his court.

Pelosi said that? Now I feel better about tomorrow. She’s always wrong.

Hey, Nancy,
The supreme court will have to issue their decision so we can see what’s in it.

Fun thought about the purse, but Steny is holding John Lewis’ hand. The other hand is empty. The partially pictured woman next to Steny is carrying the purse.

Damn, you're right. But I'm going to ignore it and make up a story, just like those leftist congresspeople did when they said they were spat upon and called racist names while making that walk. Yep, Steny's holding a purse, and John Lewis is humming It's Raining Men. Pelosi is telling a little girl in the crowd that she'll get her and her little dog, too...to feed to Obama for lunch.

"Oh it's “swings” I read swigs."

It's Nancy Pelosi we're talking about here. I think you're far more correct.

"If you get Kennedy, I don't think that Roberts would want it to look political" and oppose it, Pelosi said,

.....and here I foolishly thought that the court's decisions were made based on the rule of law.

Is that a purse Steny Hoyer is carrying? For Nancy?

An even better question: Who is they guy he is holding hands with - and why is he holding hands with a guy, while carrying a ladies purse?

I have to go out to the garage and cuss every time I see that pic of communist butt licking bastards.

Pelosi: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”

[Brilliant]

It’s possible. Roberts is not a conservative. Moderate at best.

[LostInBayport]

I hear you. We got some laughs out of it on this thread, but the first time I see it after a long while...well, there’s nothing funny about it. Whenever liberals whine about bipartisanship, that picture should be shoved in their faces.

NO REAL MAN holds hands with another unless they are ill or weak.

You mean like Ahab the Arab and Dubya, out at Crawford?

[ducttape45]

Why won’t this “entity” just retire and go away? I’ve seen bad Speaker’s of the House in the past, but this woman makes me cringe every time I see, read or hear of her saying anything!

[God luvs America]

they are setting Roberts up as the bad guy if and when it goes down tomorrow....SCOTUS wannabe laurence tribe said the same thing as pelosi: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2899995/posts

and Roberts battles with obama in the past are noted...when it goes down they will paint Roberts as a racist...

[hinckley buzzard]

Six of the nine went to harvard law school (one liberal flunkie finished at columbia); the other three went to yale. That should give you some idea of what they think of "the Law."

[The Sons of Liberty]

All right. Now let’s hear from somebody who is not a complete retard.

Well, I've heard SanFran Nan's hubby has ties to organized crime. I don't know if that's true or not, but maybe Roberts has been made an offer he couldn't refuse.
