It seems to me that his arrogant, piss-poor attitude towards the justices just may piss them off, and have a negative effect on his signature legislation being kept intact.
I believe he did it on purpose to make sure they knock it down.
He’s got at least three issues to run on then.
1. Re-elect me to “fix” the court.
2. Re-elect me and I’ll pass healthcare again.
3. Re-elect me to keep redistributing whitey’s money around to you folks who really deserve it.
