Pelosi: Obamacare Will Be Upheld 6-3, Because I Know the Constitution By Elizabeth Harrington May 31, 2012 Subscribe to Elizabeth Harrington's posts
(CNSNews.com) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of President Barack Obamas health care law, predicting a 6-3 decision because, as she remarked, I know the Constitution.
At a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday, a reporter asked Pelosi, Madame Leader, the Supreme Court is getting ready to rule in the next month or so on the health care bill, and youve expressed pretty high confidence I think you said 6-3 but Im just wondering if Democrats and the Democratic leadership have had any discussions or meetings to plan for any sort of contingency plan given the possibility that the court could strike provisions from the law or the whole law, Im wondering if Democrats are having any meetings to discuss contingency plans?
Pelosi, in reference to how the nine-judge court will rule, said, 6-3. Thats it. 6-3.
She was then asked why she was so confident about her prediction.
Because I know the Constitution, Pelosi said. This bill is ironclad. It is ironclad.
Nobody was frivolous with the Constitution and the health of the American people in writing the bill, she said. So, thats where my confidence springs from, the merit of the bill and the nature of the Constitution.
The makeup of the court, well, well see, Pelosi said.

She and the rest of the idiots that passed this are going to get bitch-slapped by the Supreme Court.
I’m not holding my breath. The guilty in DC would require a new jail built, and Don’t forget to throw away the key.
I firmly believe she is a robot with the software personality of the greatest megalomaniacs in history.
“And, she also predicted she would still be the speaker of the House after the 2010 elections.”
You’re right she “predicted” that too. Guess it probably doesn’t pay to put much stock in Nancy’s “predictions”, hey? Like all libs, she sees the world the way she’d like it to be, not the way it really is. I wonder if anyone pays any attention to anything she says any more.
That was the theory Rush was warning us about a month ago, that if they broke 5-4 to affirm, then CJ Roberts would cross over for appearances.
That's why the thread caught my attention. Ordinarily I'd say, "Well, Nasty has been enjoying her weed again", but this made me suddenly wonder if she's been told something by one of the justices.
Right after the oral arguments were over, it sounded like the thing was going to go 6-3 the other way, that Obamacare would be knocked down in whole or in part. But if there has been a secret lobbying effort (including sending Nino some candid pix of his grandchildren at play, or Clarence pictures of his wife out shopping), then who knows what the outcome could be? Always assume that the Left will lie, cheat and steal to get their way. Always assume that they will do anything -- anything -- to win.
She did mean the USC,right? just checking.
She’s probably been told the vote. As has obama and Leahy. This way they can say their “advice” (threats) to the court is what made them vote to uphold the law.
I was thinking the same as you, Williams. I hope not!
I don’t want to seem hostile, I don’t want to seem dismal, and I want to have faith she’ll... put away the dagger
Yes, that was my first thought as well.
She's stupid AND evil AND addicted to Botox.
Oh my! I don’t know her that well ... and wouldn’t want to.
It’s not hard to figure out. When she is determined to be wrong she now teaches her moonbat base that the Supreme Court is the reason to vote for Obama. Forget his crap record, just vote the Court. She knows what she is setting up.
If I was Pelosi I’d be laughing and flipping everyone the bird too.
She’s got her seat for life no matter what she says or does.
Who says crime doesn’t pay?
I fear you are right. The SCOTUS knows that overturning the healthcare law is not what any of the parties want. Provides to much fodder for the base.
If Pelosi is not a classic psychotic, who is?
Re-elect Obama, the economic genius who brought you the Solyndra success story!
Hitler surrounded himself with criminals, deviants, and psychotics.
Obama surrounds himself with.......
She swore she would still be speaker in November of 2010. To be fair, she was until January of 2011. We will see.
More like put her out of OUR misery.
It's the Washington disease. Anyone who knows something has to crow about it. Otherwise, how do you get chops?
