Has an administration ever before orchestrated demonstrations by activists in front of the Supreme Court to gin up support for its signature legislation? I don't recall this in my lifetime.

This is corrupt behavior of the highest possible magnitude. The executive branch agitating the masses to fight the judicial branch about near-illegally passed legislation...and legislation this is, on the face of it, unconstitutional.

Every day I fear more for our nation.

Even sympathetic administrations in the past where hot issues were concerned (e.g. civil rights) didn’t reach out to gin up their own protests, but waited for the legal and political processes to speak. Any protests were private and not government sponsored. Obama promised a revolution, well he certainly cannot be blamed for not trying his darnedest to keep that promise.

“On Wednesday, White House officials summoned dozens of leaders of nonprofit organizations that strongly back the health law to help them coordinate plans for a prayer vigil...”

Lol! Do they even understand what god it is that they so faithfully follow...?

And if the administration does, it might very well backfire on them. The rumor has it that a few members of the Supreme Court are still rather angry about the completely unprecedented and out-of-line "lecture" Obama gave them at the State of the Union address a couple years ago. If he tries this, even some of the more liberal leaning members may decide it's time to teach him that the Supreme Court is an equal branch of government and will not be lectured or pressured by another branch. And what better way to do that than to destroy his signature achievement, Obamacare.

Coordination IS important. They need to decide who will draw the pentagrams, who will bring the sacrifice, and who will read the Black Mass.

I don’t believe the Supremes will be moved (by this ruckus) to consider the turd adequately polished.

plans for a prayer vigil

To whom, or more correctly, to what are they going to pray?

“dozens of leaders of nonprofit organizations”

“Dozens,” doesn’t sound like very many. And could it be these are really not “nonprofit” from this Arbeitsziehungslager?

Another thought: Just yesterday or the day before...wasn’t a solitary man who was silently protesting in front of the Supreme Court arrested? If so, will this administration-organized protest be treated the same way?

Let's get this straight!

A "prayer vigil"?

What happened to "separation of church and state"?

There is a certain irony here which would be laughable, if the implications for the future of liberty were not so serious.

An Executive Branch which considers the U. S. Constitution to be "flawed" because it prohibits elected representatives in government from imposing their will on citizens is not an Administration which respects the First Amendment's protections for freedom of conscience and free exercise of religion.

Even the Creator endowed individuals with a free will.

Will "prayer warriors" at this "prayer vigil" ask the Creator to grant to this Administration a coercive power He, himself, has not imposed on His creatures?

I doubt Moloch will listen to their prayers.
