Obama says Supreme Court should never have taken up health law case, in blunt challenge

Fox News.com ^ | June 8, 2015

resident Obama bluntly challenged the Supreme Court over a pending ruling on the validity of ObamaCare subsidies, complaining Monday that the court should never have taken up the case -- and warning that a ruling against subsidies would be a "twisted interpretation" of the law.

The president and his administration's legal team for months have fought the Affordable Care Act court challenge, which is over whether people who enrolled through the federal HealthCare.gov are entitled to subsidies.

But the president's comments on Monday, during a press conference on the sidelines of the G-7 summit in Germany, were perhaps his toughest to date. He strongly suggested the court would be running afoul of established legal guidance if it rules against the administration, and took the rare step of saying the court should have stayed out of this fight.

[McGruff]

Today I signed an Executive Order banning the Supreme Court.

[Kaslin]

I despise this arrogant pos more and more every day

[jospehm20]

I do not think I have ever heard Obama make any statement which did not contain at least one lie.

[Kaslin]

He would do it, especially if the Supreme court rules against him. There is no doubt in my mind

[sauron]

Wow. Just...wow!

Now, he's telling the Supreme Court what cases they SHOULD have taken up, or not. It's a window into his thinking.

And he's issuing this criticism while on foreign soil, in front of a foreign press.

[Kaslin]

He’s a liberal aka communist. So what do you expect?

[Rumplemeyer]

I think you are correct, he knows his “signature legislation” is about to be overturned.

He will be remembered only as a fart in a gale.

[SunkenCiv]

The expert on the Constitution weighs in. Thanks Kaslin.

[EBH]

Whoa!

[babble-on]

Yeah, I can see the outcome going either way, but it’s pretty ludicrous to say the case shouldn’t have been heard. He’s a jackass.

[bgill]

[loveliberty2]

While on foreign soil, might criticizing and challenging the Judicial Branch of one’s own government appear to be an unseemly tactic for establishing one’s own leadership qualities with other foreign leaders?

[Kaslin]

His arrogance screams to heaven

[NohSpinZone]

Checks and balances - what is that, a new brand of cereal?

[48th SPS Crusader]

Oh my God. The Supreme Court did not do what Obama thought it should do. Shame on them, who the heck do they think they are!

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

(from the article):" resident Obama bluntly challenged the Supreme Court over a pending ruling on the validity of ObamaCare subsidies,
complaining Monday that the court should never have taken up the case --
and warning that a ruling against subsidies would be a "twisted interpretation" of the law."

This empty suit has nerve talking about "twisted interpretation" of the law."
The administrations lawyers argued that ObamaCare wasn't a tax, and the legislation was 'deemed' to be lawful as taxation by the Supreme Court. He praised the Court.
Now that the over 1789 pages of legislation, now law, is challenged due to punctuation and intent, he believes that the law is above reproach or judicial review.
Typical Narcissist behavior !
How many changes were made in the interprettion of the law that was passed by Congress just to keep it afloat ?
I quit counting after 32 changes to keep the Affordable Care Act alive ; changes that were not brought before Congress .
The United States of America is a nation of laws ; laws provide consistancy and equality of application.
With Obama , it's HIS way of intreretation of law,..or the highway!, ..or prepare for a HISSEY-FIT !

[Genoa]

This is significant. He is insulting the Supremes. He must already know that the decision is against him in this case, and hopefully in the sodomy marriage law case too!

[samtheman]

The Great Constitutional Scholar doesn’t understand the constitution.

Is there a nobel prize for that?

[Yosemitest]

ANYTHING OBAMA SAYS is worthless.
Watch what he does, and not what he says.
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF wants ~ and is DIRECTING the policies that regulate ALL health care plans
in the United States ~ TO FAIL !
NEVER FORGET THAT !

Many of us have said for many years that Obama is doing this INTENTIONALLY.
He using the old Soviet Plan from 1934 or earlier.




Only idiots and the evil voted for Obama, or ANY of the Democrats.
AND NOW, WE CAN ADD "Establishment Republicans" TO THAT LIST, ALSO!
They've lied to us, constantly, and really are "Collapsing the System".
And now, these "Useful IDIOTS" who voted for them, are buying the lies that "Obamacare was designed to work." ?
It was designed to fail from the start.
THEN ... THEY GO TO THE "SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM".

obama master plan on health careover the years in his own words--SINGLE PAYER!!! ( 3:38 )

They've been sucking our wallets dry for over four years now on the "Obamacare" LIE.
AND NOW THEY WANT MORE TAXES ?
Our Founding Fathers would have hung them already!

Lets review:

Who was it that cut future funding for Medicare by $575 billion?

...the president and the Democratic Party successfully bamboozle voters... The 2012 election could turn on this falsehood.
The truth is that the Obama health law reduces future funding for Medicare by $575 billion over the next 10 years ...

Mr. Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius frequently make that false claim.
Indeed, even Medicare's mailings to seniors repeat the claim
that reducing spending on Medicare will make it more financially secure for future years.
The fact is that Mr. Obama's law raids Medicare.

"In early 1968 President Lyndon Johnson [DEMOCRAT] made a change in the budget presentation by including Social Security and all other trust funds in a"unified budget." "

Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?

The History of Medicare

In 1965, the Social Security Act established both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare was a responsibility of the Social Security Administration (SSA), while Federal assistance to the State Medicaid programs was administered by the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS). SSA and SRS were agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created under HEW to effectively coordinate Medicare and Medicaid. In 1980 HEW was divided into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The first U.S. President to propose a prepaid health insurance plan was Harry S. Truman [DEMOCRAT]. On November 19, 1945, in a special message to Congress, President Truman outlined a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan for all people through the Social Security system. The plan included doctors and hospitals, and nursing, laboratory, and dental services; it was dubbed "National Health Insurance." Furthermore, medical insurance benefits for needy people were to be financed from Federal revenues.

Over the years, lawmakers narrowed the field of health insurance recipients largely to social security beneficiaries. A national survey found that only 56 percent of those 65 years of age or older had health insurance. President John F. Kennedy [DEMOCRAT] pressed legislators for health insurance for the aged. However, it wasn't until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R. 6675 (The Social Security Act of 1965; PL 89-97) to provide health insurance for the elderly and the poor.

On July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill (Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Act) in Independence, Missouri in the presence of former President Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony; Lady Bird Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Mrs. Truman also were present. President Johnson remarked: "We marvel not simply at the passage of this Bill but that it took so many years to pass it."

Medicare extended health coverage to almost all Americans aged 65 or older. About 19 million beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Medicaid provided access to health care services for certain low-income persons and expanded the existing Federal-State welfare structure that assisted the poor.

The 1972 Social Security Amendments expanded Medicare to provide coverage to two additional high risk groups disabled persons receiving cash benefits for 24 months under the social security program and persons suffering from end-stage renal disease.

So Democrats,

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR INSURING THE FAILURE
OF THE MEDICARE/MEDICAID PROGRAM,
and now YOU DEMOCRATS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INTENTIONAL DESTRUCTION OF THE U.S.A. ECONOMY!!!

So DEMOCRATS ... SHUT UP!!!

You have no integrity!!!

Sen Mark Kirk's statement Thursday, Dec 1, 2011 ...

"There are 55 million Social Security beneficiaries that will see little or no extra cash from this 2012 tax holiday;
instead, the dedicated payroll contributions meant to pay for future benefits are being diverted from the Trust Fund
and replaced with Treasury debt that does not even have a AAA credit rating.
Social Security was designed to be independent and free from the danger of Congressional manipulation,
and maintaining the firewall between the Social Security Trust Fund and general government funding is the best way to maintain the solvency of this important program.
Neither bill protects the Social Security Trust Fund
so I voted no. "

It's not our fault that DEMOCRATS raided the Social Security Trust Fund.
Let's remember ...

Not ALL are to blame for the empty lock box.

It's the Democrats Communists.

Let's take a deeper look.

Obama: "I Don't Want the Folks who Created the Mess to do a lot of Talking" "

Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!

[Mariner]

"that Congress never intended to exclude people"

Easy fix:

Vacate the law, but suspend it for 6 months.

Notify Congress they have 6 months to fix the offending language:)
