Pelosi Has ‘No Idea’ Whether Supreme Court Will Strike Down Individual Mandate

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today said she has “no idea” whether the Supreme Court will strike down a key provision of the health care law that she guided through Congress during her reign as speaker of the House two years ago.

“I have no idea. None of us does,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said.

Pelosi said congressional Democrats “have long believed in judicial review” as part of the country’s constitutional process, but said that as Democrats wrote the Affordable Care Act, “We were careful to honor our Constitution.”

“I hope it’s better than [Conyers' 5-4 prediction], because we have one thing going: the merits,” she said.

I hope the Supreme Court rejects the health care law. It will be a slap in the face of that arrogant witch who rammed it through Congress. In a Congress full of arrogant members, she is the worst. Bleech!

If Kagan votes it down you’ll know the fix is in. The semi-wise latina will vote how she’s told.

I hadn't thought about it from that angle, but you're exactly right!! The votes of these two Obama ringers will tell us boatloads about the backroom deals currently underway.

How could she say as they wrote the health care law they were careful to honor the Constitution when she previously said they had to pass the bill to see what's in it?

If she read it and found out what was in it, she might be able to make a more educated guess.

Pelosi doesn’t have a clue about anything in the real world. She still thinks Americans love or will grow to love Obamacare.

Because she is a lying SOS. She wouldn't know the truth if it bit her in the arse.

Hell can't come soon enough for her.
