Justice Scalia to Obama’s Solicitor General: ‘We’re not stupid’ [AUDIO] By Nicholas Ballasy - The Daily Caller 3:39 PM 03/27/2012 ADVERTISEMENT
While Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, Jr. made the Obama administration’s case for the constitutionality of the individual mandate in the health-care law Tuesday, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia interrupted, telling Verrilli, “we’re not stupid.”
Justice Elena Kagan, a former solicitor general appointed by President Obama to the high court, sided with Verilli in arguing that young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because eventually, others will subsidize their health care in the future.
Scalia shot back, arguing that young people will make the decision to buy health insurance eventually and do not need to be forced by the federal government to engage in commerce.
The transcript of the exchange is below:

What was Kagan allowed on the court? What a joke.
Depends on whom Justice Scalia meant by “we”; Justice Kagan is absolutely stupid-in-the-bag for the Obamanation.
” “Justice Elena Kagan, a former solicitor general appointed by President Obama to the high court, sided with Verilli in arguing that young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because eventually, others will subsidize their health care in the future.... “”
Communist Healthcare, explained by the least qualified justice in American history.
Why is Kagan even allowed to hear this case? How preposterous. We might as well allow 0 himself to make a ruling.
*********************************************
I see it as a test for Boehner ,, if he doesn’t impeach her then he should be.
Won’t happen.....Boehner is the worst coward we ever had as GOP Speaker.....bar none!
Guess who had dinner with Sebellius last night??
No conflict of interest there.
God Bless you Justice Scalia!!
Man oh man, wouldn’t that be a great way to get the courts back in line and back into their “equal” third they are supposed to be?
Let Kagan sit through this case then impeach her sorry unqualified rear out of there. Wait until after the election. Hopefully, we have enough Senators and a Republican president and we can get a qualified conservative Justice.
The left will scream bloody murder, but it is time they are ignored.
Kagan is proving herself to be Obama’s stooge.
” The left will scream bloody murder, but it is time they are ignored.”
When the left screams bloody murder, we know the Constitution is a bit safer.
Jerry: "It's not there. I'm not stupid."
J's G: "I didn't say you were stupid."
Jerry: "Well, wouldn't I have to be!"
And then Kagan has to dive in and say “hey, wait a minute, I’m stupid too!”
They just don’t write comedy like this anymore.
“young people should be required by the federal government to purchase health insurance because eventually, others will subsidize their health care in the future.”
This is where socialism completes its circle, to control.
Using the same logic, the government could ban cigars, high calorie drinks, high fat meals, you name it. Nothing is off limits.
Mark Levin’s show is going to be interesting tonight. (Well, even more so.)
Did you expect Kagan to be anything other than a stooge for Obama?
She doesn’t give one crap what the Constitution says or means, and she isn’t even pretending in that comment.
That is the whole idea....total control over the population.....we are almost there, anyway. If SCOTUS upholds Obamacare, we ARE there!
I highly doubt Kagan even believes in the Constitution. She has an anthropologist’s view of it - she studies it as a window how a former society organized itself, but leftists like her feel they are well beyond it.
She is Obama’s land-mine to America which will keep spreading her error for decades to come.
This one was juicy.
Why has Kagen not recused herself, btw?
What do Tom Coburn (Okla.), Susan Collins (Maine), Judd Gregg (N.H.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Richard Lugar (Ind.) and Olympia Snowe (Maine) have in common?
