So there are Four Nazis on the Court?

[neodad]

Key parts? Strike down all of it! What I worry about is the Republicans trying to “improve” it rather than repeal the whole monstrosity.

[I_be_tc]

Would that not cause the whole bill to be void? How can we pick and choose parts?

[GeronL]

If you pin your hopes on the court it means you are losing

[BocoLoco]

Aren't you supposed to ask whether or not the bill you were voting on was Constitutional before kicking the can down the road for SCOTUS to take care of? Sheesh. Whatever you do, don't vote for this illiterate man.

“Pence: Odds are on Supreme Court striking down healthcare reform “

Mr Pence, please don’t bet your farm (and you damned-well better *NOT* bet *my* farm) on the Supremes —

Defund (at the very least) and Repeal!!

Do your job, Mr. Pence!!

[ColdOne]

What a strange way to say that.. I do not like the “odds” wording. They do not have big brass ones. They have none. Do not pay for it.

[3niner]

They can’t strike down the whole thing, only parts of it. We really need to win this in Congress, not the courts.

[marron]

I like Pence, but this kind of thinking irritates me. It reminds me of congress passing McCain’s “campaign finance reform”, and Bush signing it, hoping that the Supreme Court would throw it out. No one had the guts to stand up and argue against it, so they hoped the Supremes would do their dirty work.

Which is why the Left see it as so necessary to fill the court with judges who don’t believe in the constitution. Because with this mentality both intellectually corrupt and cowardly at the same time, we wind up with judges who think they are kings because we have elevated them to kings.

I expect this next congress to throw out everything O has signed into law and I mean everything. If they don’t, we’ll have to have another round of Tea Party rebellions to turn another load of Repub incumbents out of office. Any Repub who doesn’t have the stomach for a fight needs to go home.

[PATRIOT1876]

Even if the Supreme Court doesn't kill it, the November Republicans can defund it or pick it's vile corpse apart piece by piece, throwing each dangerous, infected part out one at a time.

btt

[lurk]

It’s a bad idea to decide matters in the court.

They need to deal with this in the Congress on Day 1.

[Interesting Times]

Just repeal the damn thing so we don’t have to find out.

[kingu]

Mike Pence should stop waiting for SCOTUS to do the work he's supposed to be doing. Mike, there's something you might want to know. Congress provides the budget for every dollar of funding. You simply block any bill that funds this crap. Period. I don't care if it's the ‘Anyone who votes against this bill hates dogs Act’, you block it until the funding provisions are removed, and you go on.

You put riders on every bill that makes sure that none of the funds in the bill can be used for anything related to a national healthcare act.

In other words, Mike, you find a set of balls and you use them.

[Mojave]

The crux of their argument is that the individual mandate — the section of the law requiring individuals to have health insurance of some sort — violates the Constitution.

Does the section of the law requiring individuals to have Social Security numbers violate the Constitution?

[BenLurkin]

Trust SCOTUS? Big mistake.

[pissant]

DOn’t you DARE count on that happening Mr. Pence. Don’t even give it a chance to get to court. You had sure as hell better kill the POS before it ever gets there.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Maybe a tie. Kagan advised Obie as Solicitor General. Her advocacy would taint her objectivity impelling her recusal.

[gathersnomoss]

What the hell is Pence smoking? With today’s Supremes you will continue to get progressive rulings.

Hey Pence...next time you are on Jeopardy, don’t take “The Constitution”, why not try “The Grand Illusion” for $100.

[Let's Roll]

Yeah, the way they did Campaign Finance Reform.

These guys need to get over expecting someone else to do the heavy lifting and step up to the plate themselves - it’s their job to kill it.
