Nelson was taken aback by Scalias suggestion that reading the law was too much to expect of justices ruling on its constitutionality Except that's not what Scalia was referring to -- he was talking about the justices (or their staff) having to go through line by line to decide what could be kept vs discarded if the individual mandate is removed. And the point is that the USSC should do that -- that's what Congress should do.

What about Kagan’s comment that all the law is, is the feds throwing the states a boatload of money for poor people.

Senator Kickback, let he who read the bill before voting for it cast the first stone.

” Dear Ben Nelson
Justice Kagan coached the Solicitor General. Ruth Bader Ginsburg helped.
Do you have any concerns about their impartiality?
Screw you.
Sincerely

Too darned polite, if you ask me..

It was reported that Sebelius and Sotomayor were seen at the same restaurant on Monday (presumably having a meal together). So much for Sotomayor's impartiality.
If the justices are having a preliminary vote today, that must mean that by this evening the White House will know how it went thanks to Obama's mole Kagan.
To: BradtotheBone
Note the slant of the reporting. Only the position of the left, of liberals.. only their objections are voiced.
The publication must be named "The Swill".

HOWEVER, I expect the Obama White House to implement the law anyways, by decree and fiat.
Nothing will stop this sociopathic Marxist, certainly not a few men in robes.

Most still do not know whats in that monstrosity, and when they hear what's in
the law they turn a blind eye and spew talking points.
Their arrogance over this mandate is seriously undermining our country and
the court needs to take a bullwhip to every verse of it.

“Scalia mocked the so-called Cornhusker Kickback without seeming to know that provision was stripped out of the law two years ago.”
I heard him say this. It was specifically in reference to whether or not the law would have been passed without arm twisting and corruption, (he used other words). The answer is that it wouldn’t have passed without it.

I suspect what we were hearing was Scalia bristling at the fact that Kagan and the Wise Latina were so openly and brazenly political in cheerleading for the thing.
To: passionfruit
Scalia’s comment concerned sevrability and what comuld remain standing, and not constitutionality!!!

Good catch.
Obama will either be arrogantly giddy, or arrogantly depressed. He can’t help himself.
To: BradtotheBone
Why should the justices have to read this thing; nobody in congress did.

But when your entire worldview is through the lens of
“liberals smart, conservatives dumb”,
you interpret that as “he didn’t know it was taken out”.

Well, we know that Justice Scalia was correct to claim that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to read ObamaCare in totality. Even the Democrats in both Houses refused to read it. They just voted Yea like lemmings. Even Conyers said he never read the Bill.
