Yes, I agree. This is insane. What will be more insane is when the SCOTUS strikes down the obamacare mandate later this week and obozo simply reinstates it by EO.
Tell me he won’t.
I keep thinking SC tested the water today. I wonder what they expected? I would not count on anything clear from the SC on oblabla care. I would count on it being just as outrageous as this one today.
I’ll tell you he won’t reinstate the mandate by EO because he won’t have to. The SC ruling will be so ambiguous as to allow him to interpret the law his way again. Congress will do what they have always done so far... NOTHING.
Bet on it and I’d be thrilled to have to pay up to you but I doubt very seriously that I will.
Everyone on the right is trying to play by the rules and avoid a conflict or a scene or a crisis. They know that the right thing to do is unprecedented, dramatic and could destroy the nation in many ways. Insurrection, riot, civil war, attack while we are weak or in disarray.
This may be like having a 2 year old in a nice restaurant throwing a screaming wall-eyed fit with everybody looking at you and the only thing you can do is remove the 2 year old... but you can’t go. I’m really not sure what it is like though. We’ve never seen a president this insolent, lawless and out of control. It could only be thus if he hated the nation and just does not care what happens so long as he gets his way and his power. He is a despot and a traitor and an insurrectionist. He is tearing the guts out of the United States and enjoying it.
I believe Roberts is having to compromise massively to preserve even a shred of dignity in the SC. He is fighting a losing battle. The three witches and their warlock, Kennedy have revolted and will outrageously embarrass the court now if they get a chance. Roberts is probably just trying to figure out how to keep from having an event that would cause a crisis that would shake the republic to the ground.
There is no telling what will happen from here. I expect the worst but don’t know what form it will take.
Far too optimistic. The Supreme Court may or may not strike it down. If they were to do lawfully sensible things 2005's Kelo case would have been the opposite: declaring that the 'projection' of increased taxes does not qualify as a "public use" as required by the 5th Amendment.
