Justice Ginsburg looks shocked: “What did he just say?”

[wintertime]

The SCOTUS is one of them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I hope SCOTUS will hear one of these birth certificate appeals.

Remember ObiOne voters fall in 2 camps 1)the “elite” college crowd (free ride with tenure) & 2) inner city “community organized” and unions. The first understand he’s lying but “the means justifies the end.” The second don’t listen or don’t understand what he’s saying but vote for him because they’re racists and/or free lunchers.

ObiOne knows that and can say anything he likes. Only conservatives will point out the fallacies and the machine will smear critics for any reason whatsoever and the headlines will obscure any rational argument.

Here is video of President Obama during his State of the Union Address essentially trying to intimidate the Supreme Court by berating their decision to give free speech rights to American Corporations in political campaigns.

After Obama slammed the Supreme Court for their decision, you could see Justice Samuel Alito shake his head and appear to say to himself "not true," as the Democrats stood and applauded all around the Supreme Court members.

I don't know if there is precedent for a President to do something like this or not in a State of the Union Address with the Court sitting in front of him, but it seems to me this was way out of bounds and totally disrespectful.

I think it's time to invoke the 25th Amendment...give him a knock out pill put him in a padded cell...this guy is NUTS.

[SuperLuminal]

And, in 98-99, we were sure that it couldn't possibly be worse than billary and hitlary...

Now, as I reread many of the threads from that golden era on FR that I archived, I almost get weepy-eyed thinking back to those halcyon days...

Where is Joe M. now that we really need him (drunk or sober)?

I'll bet even old K is dancing in hell laughing at us...Saying "I told you so!"

[keepitreal]

That video is just unreal. I cannot believe what he did to the Court. “With all due respect” my rear.

On FoxNews, even Juan Williams said immediately after the speech:

"I'm not sure that is was appropriate for the President of the United States to scold the Supreme Court, as the Supreme Court sat there ... allowed members of Congress to stand up and applaud in opposition to that recent decision. It worries in term of intimidation a branch of government."

Like that’s gonna happen?? LOL! He’ll kill the banks but not the unions!

Come on, Juan!!! He was just "Getting in their faces!"

Your comment makes one of my all time top 10 FReeper phrases I’ve ever read. LOL! Still laughing over here!

[American Constitutionalist]

" They will only be more than happy to railroad his a$$ every chance they get. They can also grease the skids for his impeachment. "

Perhaps one of those lawyers who are trying to get a case before a court to open his records for discovery would be the Supreme court, who would be more than inclined to grant " standing " to one of the plaintiffs.

no, no, wait, wait, if they do that, the Supreme Court would be on Janet Napolitano's Department of Home Land Security watch list.... Sarcasm...

The libs are still furious over this SCOTUS decision. I have been in huge arguments with them. The part they cannot answer is when I point out that the Kansas City Star, the LA Times, the Chicago Tribune are all owned by corporations and THEY have free speech and even endorse candidates just before the election. Furthermore, NBC and MSNBC are owned by General Electric.

That means that SOME corporations would have free speech while others would not.

The point being, is that just like the Tim Tebow “pro-life” commercial in the Super Bowl, if a conservative doesn’t like what someone says, we provide our own speech. When a lib doesn’t like what someone else says, they silence them.

Ping for a link to the pic..........

Yep, and I believe the donations were from twenty-five dollar disposable CC’s.

It is my understanding she is suffering from pancreatic cancer. Just thought you would like to know

Obama is such an embarrassment to us and the rest of the world. How shameful to make such a comment. This guys is sinking fast.

President Abraham Lincoln blasted the court's decision in the Dred Scott case in his first inaugural address in 1861:

"The candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions, the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their government to that eminent tribunal."

However, there's a world of difference between the Dred Scott case and the SCOTUS' most recent decision that puts businesses and unions on equal footing in contributing to the political process that affects them both (and us) when translated into public policy.

Ginsburg looked like a peruvian mummy they wheeled in from the Smithsonian.

Now that's funny. I don't care who you are.

I was also thinking she looked horrible (near death?)...
