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.

I had to look to see if this is satire. What must the world think.

Obama just sent out a message to his fellow travelers...

Look for multiple articles and talking heads to push the idea of a E.O. after the court rules...

Which of the 20,000+ pages that discuss subsidies is twisted? Pre- or post-suit? Today’s change pages?

Don't y'all think BHO (or his Handlers) is capable of having a Supreme Court justice "offed," or a credible threat thereto, so as to blackmail the outcome of this case?

I do. Oh, yeah.

The Saul Alinsky prexivent bristles at any suspected incursion into his putative banana republic.

I hope SCOTUS lays the bricks to ‘em.

...appear to be unseemly....?

How about just being blunt.

This whining c*** s******, c**** dressing usurper dares to criticize our very form of government to various heads of state while on foreign soil. No, this is waaaay beyond unseemly by umpteen orders of magnitude.

There have been rumors for some time that Sonia Sotomayor has been leaking Court business to Obama.

I wonder what would happen if he said, "John Roberts has made his decision. Now let him enforce it."

Beginning to wonder whether the Supreme Court as an institution is flawed. Justices nominated by one branch of the State, confirmed by another, and thus beholden to both; yet, with life tenure, unaccountable to the citizens, should any justice prove to be a louse. With the State as final arbiter of all constitutional questions regarding Citizen vs State, is it any wonder, the inexorable accretion of State power at the expense of society since 1789?

This isn’t the first time the Executive Branch has been critical of the legislative or judicial branch since 2009.

President 0bamugabe sure has been threatening poor lil Johnny Roberts about this case for the past couple of weeks. I guess the 0bamugabe figured that since it worked last time it would probably work again.

If SCOTUS didn’t you DUmmie, the appellate review rulings that went against your OBotcare would have stood. ... It was soooooo much easier to blackmail a Supreme Court Justice to change his mind.

Supreme Court? We don’t need no stinkin’ Surpreme Court.

I believe from this day forward he will simple ignore all rulings that he disagrees with. The solution will be for all the rest of America to ignore him.
