“You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages?”
Didn’t he go on to clarify why he said that - that basically doing that WOULD be judicial activism [which they’re being accused of anyway] and that, Constitutionally speaking, any combing through of the bill that’s done is the legislators duty?
The fact that tactics such as the “Cornhusker Kickback” were even considered tainted the whole process.
Am I wrong on this? The job of the SCOTUS is not to rule through every single line - that belongs with Congress.
“You have to read the bill to know what's in it.” Pelosi
Start reading the entire bill, you old goat.
FU Sen. Nelson, you sorry piece of human scum.
From what I understand the ObamaCare is an all or nothing bill.
The SCOTUS would only have to read the bill until they find something that is not permitted in the Constitution. Then they would not have to read another word.... Kagan might be doing alot of reading right now.
It is the Congress that is supposed to read the entire bill. (But according to the powers that were in control: “We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it.”)
sucks to be you Ben
Scalia is the best. Great men nominate great judges.It is no wonder Reagan nominated him.Scalia has one of those rare blend of qualities one rarely finds in a SC justice, the brilliance of distilling complex issues into simple terms coupled with a cutting sense of humor to underscore his point. He is the only justice where a reader of his opinions will guffaw while the reader is being enlightened
Nelson, did you read it before voting on it???
Screw you - go back home to rot on your porch!
If Kagan leaks the results of today's meeting, she's going to discover she'll be doing a lot of coffee fetching in the future, while the real work goes on without her. (She's the most junior Justice, and as such has to do the go-fer stuff.)
So Benedict Nelso is PO’ed. because Scalia won’t read the act. Well TFB, how many hours did you spend reading, Benedict? I dare say you spent as much time as everybody else - ZERO!
Crocodile tears are not real.
On the other hand, her former associates in the White House may be able to make a pretty good guess by observing her demeanor and whether she seems happy or sad.
She’s a reliable vote for Obamacare. It’s all that matters.
Alexander Bolton mocked Justice Scalia without seeming to know that Scalia was talking about the CH in general and gave no indication that he believe that it was part of the bill.
That's the first question any reporter with an ounce of spunk should have shot back at him.
