. Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
Obama may well have been leaked the results of last week's vote and Obamcare is going down 5 to 4. To respond he must demonize the SCOTUS.
I’m not convinced he has inside knowledge of the vote, I think he made these statements to hedge his bets. If it happens that SCOTUS upholds the law Obama will be seen by his base as a strong leader who backed SCOTUS into a corner and forced it to do his bidding. If the law is struck down he still has his villain to run against.
Yep, just trying to set / control the narrative.

To what end? So that the 2012 Demo campaign can say: YOU MUST RE-ELECT US SO THAT WE CAN CHANGE THE 5-4 MAJORITY TO A LIBERAL 5-4 MAJORITY BY APPOINTING MORE LIBERALS TO THE SUPREME COURT. Then there will be no need for us to question the authority of the court performing judicial review.
