WASHINGTON -- Long-simmering resentment between the conservative Supreme Court and the Democratic Congress and White House approached a boil Wednesday, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid criticized Chief Justice John Roberts and his fellow conservatives for striking down limits on corporate political spending.
"Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?" the Nevada Democrat said at a meeting of liberal bloggers. With all nine justices having been drawn from the lower courts, the Supreme Court lacks understanding of the practical impact of its decisions, Mr. Reid said, according to the Web site Huffington Post.
A spokesman for Mr. Reid, Jim Manley, confirmed the remarks and added that the majority leader strongly backed President Barack Obama's push for legislation requiring corporations to disclose their political spending and imposing other regulations.

Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?" It's not his job to, Harry. His job is real simple. It's to understand that "Congress shall make no law" means just what it says, without regard to whether Dems and liberals think that's a good thing.

As I have always said, the resemblence between Harry and Norwegian puppet leader Quisling (World War II) is Striking.
Put spectacles on Quisling and you have a `seperated at birth` situation.

"Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?" So, let me get this straight...it's appropriate for two branches of government to denigrate another so that some clown in a congressional district can get re-elected?
The constitution is toilet paper to this fool.
