About the only thing Stevens’s statement tells me is how Stevens would vote on the case.
And that of course is totally irrelevant.
What I need to know is how Justice Kennedy will vote on the case. I don’t think Stevens knows that (I’m not even sure Kennedy knows).
The scary thing is that four of the nine people on the supreme court look at it in exactly the same way. And a fifth one might depending on which way the wind is blowing on that particular day.
Agree, and a question I’ve posted in the past seems to gain no ground, but here it is again: Wondering if the wording should be changed from “regulate” to “Mediate” interstate commerce.
Seems to me the word “regulate” has been a boon to the Leftists, therefore a change to “mediate” unresolveable differences between the States.
Take the responsibility away from the Federal Government to “regulate” as that seems to be a feeder for the Left’s goal of centralizing government so they can do to us as they are today, and place the responsibility to the States with the Fed acting as mediator upon request only.
Ultimately we have to take away the perceived power of the Federal Government OVER the States, and return to States rights. The Fed as the entity chartered to maintain the affairs of the Union of the States only.
Anyway that’s my take on it.
A whole lotta thanks for nothing, Gerald Ford, you RINO. You and GHW Bush and Warren Rudman can all go suck eggs.
Should it be the case then it’d be the first shot heard round the world, IMHO.
Why does the SCOTUS get a 3 month vacation every year? I’m so sick of these overpaid morons living off the public and then spouting opinions about the “law”. There’s only 2 sets of laws that truly mean anything... 1: God’s law and 2. Nature’s law. All the rest is plain old man-made bullshit. Just as most of their pontificating opinions about the law is just plain old bullshit.
If Obama care is constitutional then any law or action by the federal government is.
Nice try, MSM. Ain’t gonna fly. It just bit the dust. I saw it, it cratered big time. It is now a worm-burner.
The chances of either happening are somewhere between slim and none.
Absolutely!! All Stephens is trying to do is sway the court.
Stevens:(
What do they care. The Supremes will have top notch healthcare for themselves and their families for life. Why wouldn’t they screw the rest of us in the name of social justice.
A paper trail exists. I don’t think it is slim at all.
Obama and the Democrats will be out of power by 2012, and so will this healthcare foolishness.
Make that after 2012.
That old man has harmed this society in so many ways with his liberal activism on the bench.
HE SAYS WHAT THE LSM WANTS TH HEAR AND SETS THE TEMPLATE FOR DISSING SCOTUS
Levin on now discussing it!
This has got to be the dumbest interpretation of Obamacare comparisons that I've heard.
