She must have a very small file to blackmail her with if they haven’t bent her will by now.

Hmm, maybe we will get to see just how wise the Wise Latina really is. Or maybe just how independent the Judicial branch really is.

Thank You John Roberts. All of this horror story could have been avoided.

This is something that should never be. The Supreme Court was set up totally separate from the "checks and balances" system.

I believe Madison said that was the danger of this court.

There should be absolutely no contact between this court and any branch. The court is unique.

And it was given a job for "life" so no one would be beholding for a job when they left the bench.

I suspect that Sotomayor is allowing this because it is advantageous to the administration to do so.

I don't know what the end game is but I just don't believe the wise latina would jump ship on this issue at this time.

Given that she was nominated by the demonstrably most idiotic president we’ve ever had, I had absolutely no respect for her.

However, she may have a bit more cojones (and undoubtedly more intelligence) than the DORK in chief.

Perhaps she’ll make a good justice after all.

No one dare speaketh of what should be front page headlines - that Obama's health insurance law has been nullified because he has changed it without going through the proper Constitutional channel appropriated by law.

If he isn't the lawless one I will eat my hat and the crow that sits in it.

Wouldn’t it be easier if Holder just sent a couple of his homies over to her house with some pliers and a blowtorch?

OBAMACARE IS ANOTHER OF OBAMA’S HIDEOUS MORALLY INDEFENSIBLE POLICY ON ABORTION.

“Obama, the man who is carrying out the slaughter of the innocents with the same enthusiasm as Herod and Pharaoh calls for us to find a way to live together as one human family. “

THE BLOWBACK OF NOTRE DAME

Exclusive: Joseph Farah flays Obama
for lecturing Catholics about abortion

May 18, 2009
By Joseph Farah
________________________________________
As if to rub salt in the wound opened by Notre Dame’s invitation to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree yesterday, Barack Obama lectured Catholics about abortion.

He said it’s time for common ground on the issue and an approach to the life-and-death debate with “open hearts, open minds and fair-minded words.”

I suppose that’s understandable.

If I were presiding over a public policy that called for the murder of unborn babies for any reason or no reason at all, that provided mandatory public funding of those procedures both domestically and in foreign countries, that required doctors and nurses to perform abortions even if they were conscientiously opposed, that permitted experimentations on living human embryos, that promoted even partial-birth abortions outside the womb and that called for the extermination of infants who somehow defied all the odds and managed to survive efforts to kill them before birth, I guess I would want to frame the debate in such a way as to diminish the hideous monstrousness of my morally indefensible.

He doesn’t really want people who recognize what abortion is to approach the debate with “open hearts.” He wants us to harden our hearts.

We won’t do that.

The only hearts and minds being opened in this debate and the hearts and minds of little innocents – sliced open surgically in the most barbaric fashion because of activist judges exceeding their authority and morally bankrupt politicians like Obama and his cohorts in the Congress.

These are the most “fair-minded words” I can muster to describe Obama’s efforts at soft-pedaling his own bloody and extremist policies on abortion.

Obama said: “Each side will continue to makes its case to the public with passion and conviction. But surely we can do so without reducing those with differing views to caricature.”

Let me translate this for you.

“Now that my side in this debate is in control of all the levers of power and is enforcing its will on the other side, it’s time for a nice civil dialogue on abortion.”
That’s what Obama would like.

Let me be the first to say, “No way, buster!”

You want to kill babies? You’re going to have to accept the consequences of righteous moral indignation. You’re going to have to accept being called out for what you are doing. You’re going to have to accept the conviction that comes with the abomination of child sacrifice. Your going to have to accept being labeled for what you are.

Obama even acknowledged he knows what this debate is all about – characterizing abortion as a “heart-wrenching” decision for any woman.

Why is abortion a “heart-wrenching” decision for a mother?
Because it’s a decision to kill one’s child – materialistic reasons, for reasons of convenience.

It should be “heart-wrenching” to decide to kill one’s child.

Obama’s policies are meant to remove the guilt, remove the consequences of irresponsible decisions, remove the issue of right and wrong, remove even the “choice” of those who disagree with him not to participate in any way in the slaughter at the altar of Baal.

“We must find a way to live together as one human family,” he said in closing.

That’s quite a statement.

The man who is carrying out the slaughter of the innocents with the same enthusiasm as Herod and Pharaoh calls for us to find a way to live together as one human family.

How do we learn to live together as one human family when our offspring are being sacrificed to false gods and man-made religions?

How do we learn to live together as one human family when it means accepting coercion into active participation in the worst kind of evil perversion?

How does one live with oneself if it means tolerance of the intolerable?

No, I won’t play that game.
No, I won’t play by Obama’s rules.

Government lawyers say the nuns’ insurance is a “church plan” that is not required to provide contraception coverage and has decided not to, so they have no legal basis to complain.

Then why did the nuns waste their time and effort to sue if they were told they didn't have to provide the coverage? Can all church organizations go to a "church plan" and forgo the contraceptive coverage?

Obama can’t tell Sotomayor what to say or do.

Three branches of government totally separate:

Judicial
Legislative
Executive

Dershowitz: ‘Brilliant’ Case Led to Obamacare Contraception Delay

The case brought before the Supreme Court that led Justice Sonia Sotomayor to delay the Obamacare contraception mandate for religious groups was “brilliant,” Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said on Thursday.

“The lawyers picked a brilliant, brilliant case to bring in front of Justice Sotomayor ... What could be more sympathetic to anybody, whether you’re Catholic or not Catholic?” Dershowitz asked on “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.

“Justice Sotomayor grew up basically in the shadow of that kind of teaching — and these are nuns, who say they can’t violate their own religious principles,” he said.
