Obama To Overrule Supreme Court? President Considers "Mitigating" Obamacare Ruling

Having had his omnipotence chipped away at last week, President Obama has - seemingly - been pushed too far by the Supreme Court's decision on contraception and Obamacare this morning: The White House stated...

• SUPREME COURT DECISION ON CONTRACEPTION COVERAGE JEOPARDIZES HEALTH OF WOMEN EMPLOYED BY THESE COMPANIES
• WILL WORK WITH CONGRESS TO MAKE SURE WOMEN AFFECTED BY RULING WILL HAVE SAME ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION
• WILL CONSIDER WHETHER PRESIDENT CAN ACT ON HIS OWN TO MITIGATE EFFECT OF SUPREME COURT RULING

Totalitarian? You decide... One wonders if the phrase "do you know who I am?" was uttered this morning?

 

As The Hill adds,

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said women should be able to "make personal health decisions for themselves,” and called contraception "vital" to the health and well-being of women.

 

...

 

"We will, of course, respect the Supreme Court ruling,” he added.

King Obamatron is not amused

It’s good to be king.

Here it is. It didn’t take long.

[Jim Robinson]

“Borrowing” a little more power is he?

[circlecity]

Consequence free recreational sex is “vital” to women’s health? Puuuleeez.

[GeronL]

“Override the Supreme Court”??

Wouldn’t he need both houses of Congress to do that?

[I want the USA back]

Up to now he has been doing whatever he wanted. He doesn’t respect the Constitution. Never did. Hates this country.

But it’s fun to see him mad.

[djf]

Well, he’s on the air right now saying he is going to “mitigate” immigration!

[nickcarraway]

I said this on a thread earlier. Why wouldn’t he just ignore the ruling?

[FlingWingFlyer]

How dare the Supreme Court mock the low to no information voters’ “messiah”? He’s the boy king! That’s child abuse! hrumpf! hrumpf! I’d like to see the Supreme Court shove that phone and pen up his ...!

[SkyDancer]

“Will respect the SCOTUS ruling” meaning that we can choose to ignore it ....

[rockinqsranch]

“........White House press secretary Josh Earnest said women should be able to “make personal health decisions for themselves,”.....”

AND THE REST OF US DON’T!!!!

FUBO

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I actually predicted this, but I thought I was joking.

"So it is written! So it SHALL be done!"

Obama and the Dems are presenting this as a ban on contraceptives. We have to battle this perception and remind people that contraceptives are STILL available and can STILL be purchased. Women just wont be able to force their employer to pay for them through the company health care plan.

[GeronL]

does he know what that word means?

[Star Traveler]

Obama has had over 12 US Supreme Court decisions against him which is unprecedented for any President in US history!

[Responsibility2nd]

This thought has occurred to me more than once:

What if The Kenyan simply decides to crush any and all private insurance carriers who refuse to offer contraceptive care?

Hobby Lobby wants to exclude abortificants from its group insurance? Too bad. It might be legal, but the tax penalties for those companies sent them into bankruptcy.

Or compliance with ObamaCare rules.
