Good move to speed up Holder's slow-roll strategy.

[FlipWilson]

Oh goody, now Anthony Kennedy can show us his true colors that much faster.

[Defiant]

What was the reason the DOJ didn’t appeal to the entire circuit? I haven’t read an explanation. I am assuming that they thought that the circuit would rule against them and maybe even void the entire law, and that they didn’t want that to be what they had to appeal from.

Those were Rush’s thoughts.

[Libloather]

The first people to read the bill?

[celtic gal]

Let’s hope for payback for insulting the Supermes at the State of the Union... B*t*Y Slap him a good one!

What you are inferring is that our country is ruled purely by emotions and not by constitutional jurisprudence.

Sadly enough, you’re probably right.

.. Ping!

Mods, should this go in Breaking?

[vigilence]

Time for Sotomayor to recuse herself!!!!!

[proudpapa]

Just a quick FYI, the cost to appeal ANYTHING to the SCOTUS is going to be north of $50,000.

HAHAHAHA! This is GREAT! I know you were listening to Rush this morning, so this will make sense to you. The NFIB just got out in front of the ODumbo parade, and look at the list of their litigators. Thank you, NFIB!

[lonevoice]

should this go in Breaking?

I agree. To paraphrase: "This is a big effin deal."

[Faith]

The first people to read the bill?

Bingo!

[trisham]

bump!

[GoldenPup]

Agree...but it’s not going to happen. Obviously, it would weaken Obozo’s chances.

Anthony Kennedy is the most powerful man in America. In his hands rests the fate of this country. Let’s just pray that this power does not go to his head and that he does the right thing.

Time for Sotomayor to recuse herself!!!!!

You're going to turn blue holding your breath like that.

[luvie]

I PRAY that the justices do the right thing and remove this albatros from around our necks!
