Pelosi: ObamaCare Will Be Upheld 6-3, "Because I Know The Constitution"
realclearpolitics.com ^

Posted on 05/31/2012 12:49:10 PM PDT by tsowellfan

When asked why she is so confident the Supreme Court will uphold the health care law, Pelosi says, "Because I know the Constitution."

"This bill is ironclad," she continued. "It is ironclad. Nobody was frivolous with the Constitution and the health of the American people in writing the bill,” she said. “So, that’s where my confidence springs from, the merit of the bill and the nature of the Constitution. The makeup of the court, well, we’ll see."

I believe she has it backwards.

It will be 6-3 against, not for.

If it isn’t, it will be 1860 all over again.

Pelosi's predictions are about as useful as she is.

I think anybody with some intelligence who gets a leak would only say that the bill would be upheld. You would have to be a real Pelosi to leak the vote numbers and expose the whole charade. These clowns can’t control themselves.

Obama didn’t threaten SCOTUS if he didn’t know Obamacare was lost.

This bothers me a little. The decision should be forthcoming next month, and she has left herself no wiggle room. Normally, you make those kinds of predictions far enough in advance so that people forget what you predicted by the time you're proven wrong.

She has to be aware of this, and that's what my concern is.

“.The makeup of the court, well, we’ll see.” ..

Ahhh the huge caveat! Cover your rear Nancy...cover it....

Lets see..... 70% of Americans don’t want it......It’s an economic/job killing disaster, AND it’s not Constutional ...... despite this moonbats pronounciations.

But heck, we can always blame it on “activist, extreme right wing judges” ....and when it’s overturned it will be a win for our side because it exposes the right and it’s un-American agenda!/s

********************************

After claiming that they’d have to pass it to see what’s in it, she now claims that they were very careful to make sure this legislation was Constitutional......LOLOLOLOLOLOL (when will the moonbat lies ever stop?)

Nancy does indeed know The Constitution.

In fact, I hear she sailed on its maiden voyage.

Nancy predicted that she would be Speaker of the House in 2010. I take everything that this idiot says with a grain of salt.

“This bill is ironclad,”

She may be correct on the eventual outcome. Six to three striking the mandate but upholding the remainder of the legislation. The rest of Obamacare is implemented but with the inevitable funding crisis. Given such a crisis, Obamney will push for single payor to avert the crisis and of course the GOP-E will go along. Ultimate socialist goal achieved.

my confidence springs from, the merit of the bill and the nature of the Constitution

It's the nature of the Constitution that's important. Wasn't that made clear back when clinton ruled?

LOL! Pelosi got her ‘Constitutional Law Degree’ from the same place Obama did....from the inside of a pack of matches.
