What’s so prickly. They nullify Obamacare, it’s left to Obama to explain what to do. Not the USSC’s yob, mon.
Roberts was one of the only things that Baby Bush got right.

The liberals just made a noise about Thomas to introduce moral-equivalence games that would preserve Kagan's deicision to sit on a case when she should recuse herself.
Just more liberal camouflage for their usual stink.
Good morning LG!
Former NYT chief editor Howell Raines said in an October, 2008 article in Conde Nast's Portfolio that the RiNOcracy and the Left had struck a bargain already on healthcare: the Democrats would be allowed their takeover, so that Fortune 500 companies could ditch their (expensive) health-care plans (the ones for the peons, anyway).
This would result in great joy among the blue-haired ladies that both Bushes regarded as the proper objects of their most tender and dogged solicitude, junking entire fleets of aircraft carriers to get them their tax cuts from the "peace dividend"...... and now they'd get a "healthcare dividend" by throwing their employees on their own resources.
According to Raines, it was a done deal, awaiting only the election to pass.
He was right. Boehner won't touch Obamacare. He's already changed the subject once, from Obamacare repeal -- what the People sent all those Tea Party congressmen up the Hill to do -- to budget games and fiscal strategerizing and footsie with Harry Reid and Obozo.
The GOP sold the People out, bigtime, for 30 pieces of silver.
Of course Justice Roberts is going to come out with such pap. The Supreme Court is a club and a mutual admiration society. They will join together to defend themselves against the peasants
Happy New Year! Counting the days until Obozo's unemployed.
Your lips to God’s ears LG. Happy New Year.
Voting out Zer0 is no guarantee of a good Court. I’m convinced a Myth Romney would nominate a Souter-type and a cowed R Congress would rubber stamp him in with the bipartisan blessing of the Dims.
It’s enough to make you sick.
God knows Kagan is big enough to defend herself. Roberts would do well to re-read his Constitution and think about what the founders of America intended!
I would have to assume it is aimed at taking pressure off Thomas - even though he shoud stay and she should recuse, the blitz will be to remove him and leave her which really stacks the deck.
““I have complete confidence in the capability of my colleagues to determine when recusal is warranted,” Chief Justice Roberts wrote.”
Then is a complete fool!! My god we are so screwed. The political elite view us as sheep to be sheared.
Well, lookie—lookie! A prime example of how our courts are stacked today.
Today, our courts MAKE LAW, they don’t defend the Constitution any longer because it is a so-called “living Constitution” and can be changed whenever the need arises to support the current political mood.
The sad thing is that the GOP has stood around for years and only made loud noises, gnashed their teeth, and cried “foul.” Yet, did nothing to stop it.
We can thank the “go along to get along” party in allowing this to happen.
Not unexpected from the guy who swore Obama in. Twice.
If Kagan recuses, and it is 4-4, what good is it?
... and it looks like Roberts makes five libs on the court.
Thanks for the cogent analysis. It is a hard battle when your leadership and your enemy have the same objective.
