Mourdock: USe of Tarp Funds in automotive industry was illegal

Good point. Kennedy is big on Judicial Sovereignty. (See Casey) I only read Kagan’s comment just now; I’m like a dog who caught the car, too excited to know what to do 1st...

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, wasn’t that an amazing statement. This guy should lose his law degree for a few years over that one.

Cuz her handlers told her to do it. She doesn’t have the faintest idea whether SCOTUS has or does not have jurisdiction. She just does what Rahmbo and Axlerod tell her to do. Why do you think they chose someone so inexperienced if not to be able to pull her strings like a marionnette?

[BCrago66]

I think Kagan is a woman (but she looks like a man.)

[patton]

Oh, darn. Typical. Thanks!

[DoughtyOne]

A full referral? Excellent...

Ginsberg deserves congrats for getting this one right.

Has a sitting President ever refused to follow a ruling by SCOTUS?

[Mr. Lucky]

I don't think the Indiana State Police are unionized.

(By and large, they're honest hardworking, dedicated guys)

[DoughtyOne]

LOL, oops...

[BCrago66]

Here’s the gub’mint brief, I presume by Kagan of the Solicitor General’s office. I haven’t looked at it yet, but some commentary says that the issue deals with what is the proper use of TARP money, not the secured v. unsecured creditors issue.

bttt

[mrsmel]

LOL

[DoughtyOne]

I don’t think this qualifies as an activist court type of decision. It’s merely a strict adherence to the law decision, unless I’ve missed something you’ve noted.

[GonzoGOP]

Ok on a re-read it just says their pension fund. So it might not be a union, but you are still taking money from a police officer through intimidation. Never a good idea.

[teletech]

Ginsburg is a LIBERAL and SHE just smacked Obummer BIGTIME! Go figure.

[POWG]

I never thought I would say this in my lifetime, but here it is:

Way to go GINSBURG!!

[Unlikely Hero]

I was more reacting to the posts by various FReepers who seem to regard this as reigning in Obama. And that now the SCOTUS is the guardian of freedom, whereas before it was interdicting Bush’s much-needed plans.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I was hopeful until three letters popped into my mind: CFR.

You don't pull on Superman's cape.
You don't spit into the wind.
You don't pull the mask off the Lone Ranger
And you don't tell SCOTUS they have no authority to rule on a case.

- appologies to Jim Croce.
