The Politico is a tad late since the case has already been decided.
It just hasn’t been released to the public.
So, Politico says that Supreme Court Judges should only make popular decisions?
According to national polling for 2 years, Americans want Obamacare to go away. So that would be the popular decicion.
Silly me, I thought their job was to defend the Constitution. Here’s a case where scuttling Obamacare will be both popular and a defense of the Constitution.
WIN-WIN.
The point is moot at this stage, Politico............
Dr. Robert
The Beatles - Revolver Album
Ring my friend I said you’d call Dr. Robert,
Day or night he’ll be there anytime at all Dr. Robert.

He does everything he can, Dr. Robert.
If your down he’ll pick you up Dr. Robert,
Take a drink from his special cup Dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, he’s a man you must believe,
Helping everyone in need,
No one can succeed like Dr. Robert
Well, well, well your feeling fine,
Well, well, well, he’ll make you Dr. Robert
My friend works for the national health Dr. Robert,
Don’t take money to see yourself with Dr. Robert
Dr. Robert, your a new and better man,
He helps you to understand,
He does everything he can Dr. Robert
Well, well, well, your feeling fine,
Well, well, well, he’ll make you Dr. Robert
Ring my friend I said you’d call Dr. Robert (2x)
Dr. Robert!
What a pathetic picture, the once mighty SC now a collection of political hacks and affirmative action types.
The Town that steals from the rest of America while telling us all how to live, Washington, D.C.
Roberts is a brilliant man who has accomplished very much in his life. These type of people don’t take well to threats. In fact something like this is much more likely to push him in the other direction.

Rush’s opinion is always interesting. Good to post somewhere on FR. But this item is NOT breaking news.
As if anyone who matters cares what “politico” thinks.
why are the leftists attacking roberts with such specificity?
is he this thin skinned? do the leftists believe that? seriously?
Rush knows.
He is much too confidently telling us how wrong the media can be, unless he knows something we don’t know. Not one story about how a lib might vote with the conservatives on the court?
Rush knows what the individual mandate decision is, and what he’s telling us here is that it’s going to be a 6-3 decision, or better, to strike down the mandate. One or more of the libs went against Obama.
Do these morons at Politico not know the decision has been finalized probably since April and the rest has been about forming the sides and writing the opinions and dissents. It’s like the scene from Last Hurrah when the returns start coming in and Pat O’Brien and Jim Gleason start heading back to the streets to find a way stop the voting trends. Spencer Tracy has to remind them that the votes are in and only have to be counted.
Straight out of the Alinsky playbook.

Couldn’t Roberts find some “penumbra” finding that Obama care is unconstitutional?
Only liberals are allowed to be daring. They can take prayer out of schools, make the crime of abortion legal, protect pornography under the first amendment etc. but conservatives are supposed to be timid little lambs.
What’s that thing sitting in the front row on the far right?
Politico may not be inferring that a Chief Justice who swears in a president elect who promised to honor, preserve and protect the Constitution, but who told the world he was a naturalized citizen - “I am a native-born citizen of the US.”, is derelict in his duties. "Native-born" is the language of the 14th Amendment, the naturalization amendment based upon Article 1 Section 8, the congressional mandate "To establish and Uniform Rule of Naturalization." The 14th Amendment never mentions natural born citizenship. Its author, Congressman John Bingham, repeated the US common-law defintion, but using slightly different words, to emphasize the intent: "...of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty". Can anyone not see that Obama's British-Kenyan father owed allegiance to a foreign sovereignty, and that this characterizes Obama's unsuitablility, apart from our law? Roberts knows, and Obama knows, and every US Senator who signed SR 511 in April 2008 knows that a president must be a natural born citizen, and not a naturalized citizen.
Roberts, with some difficulty, administered the oath of office, depending upon the ignorance of most citizens, that a naturalized citizen is not a natural born citizen. Any naturalized citizen knows better than most natural born citizens, because our State Department requires a citizenship oath in which candidates swear sole allegiance to our Constitution. Roberts is either too weak to execute his sworn duty, not just as chief justice, but the duty of any officer of the court, or he has agreed with Obama’s politburo, that the Constitution is antiquated and old Supreme Court decisions are no longer relevant.
As Baraka told us about our Constitution, “It doesn't allow me to do the things I believe our country needs.” “The Constitution is a doctrine of negative liberties.” Obama wants a new bill of rights, rather like FDR, who also tried to pack the courts. This time it appears that the court has been packed because Roberts has evaded his responsibility, not only as chief justice, knowing, as did every Senator, that Obama was not born to citizen parents, but his responsibility to report a felony - campaign finances were illicitly solicited by the candidate and/or the chairwoman of his party, Nancy Pelosi, who affirmed Obama’s eligibility with a signed affidavit.
