If the court goes 5-4 Obama — Obamacare wins. Republicans in the U.S. Senate must reject any liberal he nominates to the SCOTUS. They must stand as one — no deals, no compromises.

When SCOTUS rules ObamaCare unconstitutional, will next year’s State of the Union speech resemble one of Saddam Hussein’s State of the Tyranny speeches where he would name the disloyal and have them removed (forever)?

A bold prognosticator, that Breyer.

A turnover of about 75 democrat seats in the House in November 2010 would be nice to have on record, insofar as the SC is becoming more of a secondary quasi-legislative body; ie endorse what the voters want.

And if it goes 5-4 against Obama, Obamacare loses. This stating the obvious stuff is fun!

Bill Ayers could get confirmed for Stevens’ seat and not change the vote count on this. Kennedy is the only one to worry about and last I checked, he isn’t the one retiring.

What I was implying is this — there are two more years left of the Husseim Obama regime — alot can happen on the court’s structure in that time period. I was not specifically referring to the upcoming court battle, but rather on any and all SCOTUS appointments made by this guy during his entire term.

Did AJ Breyer boldly predict which way AJ Breyer would vote?

Stevens is a liberal PITA, Obama can't do the Court much damage by replacing him ..... Ginzburg is the other likely early retiree. It would be helpful to replace either or both of them with more moderate AJ's.

Pray for the health of all the conservative federal judges.

They are all that standing in the way of the abyss.

We just have to keep everyone healthy until 2012 (and hopefully beyond of course) and hope that Ginsburg’s desire for power overrides her desire to retire. :)

With Ginsberg and her husband both having health issues, we could be looking at another retirement in the near future. Especially if she thinks the WH will flip in NOV 2012.

Since Obama signed the bill, perhaps SCOTUS can ask for a birth certificate?

The USSC COULD declare "Original Jurisdiction" over this case today IAW Article 3, Section 2 of the US Constitution.

Why they don't is both baffling and disheartening for the final outcome.

No only that, but he's the author of the Citizens United free speech decision, against which Obama and his accomplices are waging jihad, and plan to continue to wage jihad into the confirmation hearings for the next justice. Guess what, Kennedy will probably be the deciding vote on Obamacare.

I have much more confidence in Breyer than I do in Ginsberg, Souter, or Sotomayor.

Slightly less than 7 months until the next election.

Republicans should, but won’t, filibuster until then and then fight hand over fist for each nominee.

It is too important to the survival of the nation.
