He needs this win to have any chance of being re-elected.

My theory is .. they are trying to disarm the GOP. They know the Supreme Court will rule against it and once it does, it will no longer be a campaign issue. As a result a lot of people who were fiercely motivated to defeat Democrats in 2010 will lose one of their main motivation to head to the polls.

They want an early ruling so that, if the court goes against them, they can cobble together a corrective piece before the elections. They have nothing to gain if they wait, because after the elections they won't even have the Senate.

Just wondering.... Why is it when someone is opposed to a president, they always refer to it as “This Administration”? The Lefties did it when Bush was in office.

You never hear someone that is in favor of the sitting president say “This Administration”.

Just curious as to why that is.... (lol)

They want a rat administration defending this in the SCOTUS - not a republican admin. i.e. the rats have taken into consideration they won’t be in power after the next election.

Obama”care” was robo-signed by Congress, and is therefore illegal.

Obama”care” reduces competition, and therefore is illegal by the 1890 Sherman Anti-Trust Law. Obama”care” is designed to be a monopoly.

Obama”care” also is illegal according to the US Constitution, because it violates our freedom of choice.

Will THE NINE SUPREMES notice any of these three violations? I seriously doubt it.

Impeached Bill Clinton proved that the US President is above US Federal Law, so anything the President wants he gets, regardless of the Federal Laws that he has violated.

Maybe they have a “sure vote” for their side and want to win before somebody gets cold feet.

All I can say is:

A. It ain’t over till it’s over. Who knows what’s going on behind the scenes, or what the court will decide?

B. I wouldn’t trust Obama any further than I could kick him. (Secret Service: that’s a METAPHOR!) Who knows what the Chicago Mafia might have up their sleeves?

... we have the votes and the legislation is un-Constitutional it will get defeated. We know this!

I don't understand your comments here. How do we have the votes? We do not know if the votes exist to overturn Obamacare in the Supreme Court because we have no idea how Kennedy will come down. And in Congress, we most certainly don't have the votes to overturn it considering Democrats control the Senate.

Much time and money has been poured into putting Obamacare into effect. Even if we win everything in 2012, we are going to need big majorities to kill Obamacare. I would not be surprised if a lot of Republican Senators won't have the stomach for it, so massive majorities will be necessary to ensure the complete death of Obamacare.

While trying to remove this as an election issue may be one reason; another may be to avoid having it heard by the full 11th Circuit.

A full hearing by the court would have more judges weighing in; given SCOTUS more opinions to derive their ruling from. Since the 11th is fairly conservative, Obama figured he'd get slapped down anyway; and why give SCOTUS more unfavorable opinions to weigh from??

I believe SCOTUS could bounce this back to the 11th asking for a full review, thereby delaying a ruling until possibly 2013. Which by then the whole thing might be moot if we take the Senate and Presidency next year.

If he loses, he can run against the "right wing" Supreme Court.

Time basically ran out. If they'd appealed the 11th circuit to the full court they may have lost, giving the Supreme Court even more ammo.

If they don't appeal a Republican president might be left to appeal ObamaCare and they would rather control that appeal.

We pretty much know it'll be 5-4 one way or another.

Even Obama now realizes he will lose the next election. So he wants the ruling to occur while he still has some control. We know he has no problem putting pressure on the court. IMHO.
