The lower court will not like it.
Obama needs to understand that government that serves United States of America works nothing like the third world republics that he idolizes.
Remember how the Obamination and his fellow democrat party hacks mocked and booed the Supreme Court at the First State of the Union?
Obama truly despises the Rule of Law.
Now is the time for the Supreme Court to take up the issue of Obama’s eligibility.
You left out the part about “and we are well-armed”.
That’s a really big difference between us and a communist country. A difference that may come in handy....soon.
Since when does the President have the right to tell the Supreme Court what to do?
Imagine if had done this. We would never hear the end of it from the liberal media.
Wow really cool.
Team Obama “acted stupidly.”
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s case is problematic because he may lack sufficient standing to challenge the health care law?
Is there anything anybody can do or is it past time?
He thinks he is the King.
Now the thug in chief is trying to strong arm the SCOTUS?
That nerve of that arrogent son of a bitch. I hope Chief Justice Roberts, who really does not hide his disdain for Obama, tells him to pack sand and get the hell out of his and his court’s business.
This isn’t the case we want in front of SCOTUS anyway - we want the one going to the 11th Circuit. The one that declares Obamacare unconstitutional.
Obama is just following up on the in chambers chit chat he had with the justices months ago. There is something going on that such a meeting could be had at that time and now with the audacity to tell the court to bug off. I wish I knew for certain what is going on. Millions of other people probably want to also know. In the meantime I’ll put on hold that the justices are honorable and don’t have some peculiar personal circumstances.

The Obama administration is desperately hoping that one of the conservative justices will have to retire from illness prior to hearing this case.
Federal Judge Roger Vinson, who is right here in town, has already ruled Obamacare unconstitutional. He is the second Federal Judge to do so. Our new Governor Rick Scott, has thrown the weight of his office behind it too.
This is a response to the Virginia Obamacare challenge. VA’s AG petitioned SCOTUS to expedite the procedure and bypass the Court of Appeals.
VA won at the District Court level; it’s being appealed at the Circuit Court of Appeals level. VA wants the case expedited. The Administration wants it to drag out as long as possible, including the year or so it would take to get thru the Court of Appeals. That’s what this brief is about, delay and stall.
There is a split between the circuits, always a strong factor in SCOTUS taking a case. The District Courts in VA and FL have declared the law either unconstitutional in its totality, or in part Three other circuits (DC/MI and ???) have declared it constitutional.
The SCOTUS will eventually take this case and/or the FL case, whether expedited or not. This is just in response to VA’s petition to expedite, it’s not a final appeal.
This appears to be in response to Cuccinelli’s filing for a writ of certiorari. If that is the case, this is no big deal and Fox should be admonished for their headline.As the named party in the original case, the United States govt has every right to challenge the plaintiff’s motion.
