2. It is the game of expectation in order to row-up the base when expectations are not met.
3. It is wishful thinking based on a faulty left-wing premise that the it be 5-4 and Roberts will cast the vote in favor to make the decision “Nonpartisan”.
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.
