Regime to Justice Roberts: Catastrophe If You Rule Against Obamacare
Townhall.com ^ | March 4, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 03/04/2015 6:31:11 PM PST by Kaslin

RUSH: Here's how the Regime's doing it. The Regime and the Drive-Bys are trying to intimidate the court, trying to influence the court, trying to shape the court. Josh Earnest, press briefing at the White House today. A reporter said, "One of the justices this morning suggested the court could give states time to prepare for the impact if it decided to rule against the government in this case. I'm just wondering if you have any response to that, Josh. Would that be feasible? Just wait 'til next year for a decision like that to take effect?"

EARNEST: It's important for people to understand that there is no contingency plan that could be implemented that could prevent the catastrophic damage that would be done by essentially undermining the Affordable Care Act with an adversarial, uh, ruling on this. The truth is that there are no easy answers! There is no simple step, no obvious step that anybody can take that would prevent this catastrophic damage from taking place.

RUSH: Okay, and what that's supposed to here is Justice Kennedy and Justice Roberts are supposed to go home tonight and turn on the news, and they're supposed to see the White House press secretary say that if they rule against the administration, "It's gonna be a nationwide catastrophe! You don't want that on your shoulders, Judge, and you don't want that on your shoulders, Mr. Chief Justice. It's gonna be a catastrophe! We don't have any contingency plan. You're gonna be wiping people's health care out."

That's how it's to be reported, and it is not just Earnest doing it. This is happening throughout the Drive-By Media. The reason is, they think it worked on Roberts the first time. They are convinced that it worked on Roberts the first time. Note, by the way, it worked on Roberts, not Kennedy, the first time. Everybody thinks Kennedy is the swing vote that we need to be worried about, and I'm thinking you may need to change your focus on that, folks, just a little bit.

Mr. Roberts, it is not your job to make a better contract.

The four corners rule applies.

It is what it is.

If you pull a stunt like you did in 2012, the catastrophe may be far worse than that which can be contained.

Laws have meaning.

Not penumbras and emanations.

What about the 4 million Americans who got thrown off their health plans, left high and dry with Obamacare.

Where was all the concern then about catastrophic consequences?

We’ve got liberal social activists like Kagen and Ginsburg pimping socialized medicine on what is supposed to be the highest court in the land. The fools in the state controlled “media” are calling her psychobabble “brilliant”. I guess it won’t be long before we’ll be seeing Medea Benjamin advising the Pentagon.

"Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices."

We are watching, Mr. Roberts.

The Court has already ruled in Imam Obama’s favor once. This has nothing to do Constitutional interpretation and everything to do with politics ala the elites against the people. And in the case of Roberts, possible blackmail..

Interesting to me that the administration feels that following the Constitution is a “adversarial” position. Very revealing.

a catastrophe is when those who liked their insurance lost it and replaced it when insurance with high deductables and costly premiums. But that really doesn’t bother the obama regime.

Sure Obama, cause a crisis and then scream it’s your political opponents fault. That’s so Alinsky of you and so completely expected.

What about blackmail:

The Roberts married in their early 40s and adopted two children within a few months of each other in 2000.

I guess it depends what the regime “has” on Judge Roberts.

They did do it to Hillary.
Obie used her and abused her.

I rather liked it but was stunned that no one saw what was happening when the media and obie praised her the following day.

He made her the fall guy and stripped her of all power.

None of you appear to be hearing.

The Admin is telling Roberts he can expect a catastrophe for the wrong ruling.

I don't know how much more clear they can be to him.
