I'm posting a piece from the liberal New Republic because I think conservatives should be prepared to counter an assault on the Supreme Court, especially if the Slaughter scheme is used to pass Obamacare without a vote and the Supreme Court hears a challenge to its constitionality.

I think Rosen is wrong about the politics. Obama is not popular, especially among non-black voters who judge him based on his performance rather than his race. I bet the Supreme Court is more respected than Congress.

The character of a man shows in his enemies, and John Roberts’ character shines through Obama’s cheap-shot shenanigans.

Thank God for John Roberts! I knew he wouldn’t turn out to be another wimpy traitor like Souter.

...Last week, the chief justice described the president’s State of the Union condemnation of the Citizens United decision as “very troubling” and complained that the speech had “degenerated to a political pep rally.” Roberts was making an argument about etiquette--dissent was fine, he said, but Obama had somehow transgressed the boundaries of civilized discourse by delivering his attack to a captive audience. But he was implicitly making a political argument as well

Idiot - no he wasn't.

Roberts simply stated that there was a place for dissent - and that the STOTU speach was not the place.

In battles between a popular president and an anti-majoritarian Court...

Stopped right there.

Excellent reasoning, guys. There's always a reason, when the 'Rats start squeaking in unison about something or someone.

Scholars 200 years from now will have a fine old time dissecting the Great Rat Conspiracy in politics and media. Assuming they're free to study and aren't locked down in a police state.
