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."

Pelosi, delusional as usual. Anyone who ever voted for that whacked out commie beotch needs their voting privilege permanently revoked.

I’m wondering if she already knows the outcome. There were rumors of leaks of the outcome after the hearing on the bill. Also, Robertson made it known he might vote to uphold the bill just to avoid a 5-4 decision if the vote was already in favor.

The constitution is far, far, far above the diminuitive comprehensive ability of this ignorant sl*t.

Ask yourself what this idiot-ess would be doing had she not boinked a millionaire.

Nancy doesn’t know enough about anything to be a greeter at Wal-Mart (when they had greeters anyway).

I've been wondering that myself. After an initial flurry of threats and cajoling from the regime toward the Supremes, suddenly all went quiet.... now this. I'm thinking she already knows the score.

I hadn't heard that about Roberts... when did he make that statement? Is he just wanting to be on the winning side?

Nobody was frivolous with the Constitution and the health of the American people in writing the bill . . .

Yeah, I suppose that is why it had to be passed in near secrecy with little or no debate allowed.

Where does it state that people will have to turnover x amount of their money to people who do not want (as I know 6 people who don't want to buy health insurance for themselves due to their jobs) or is to lazy to get it!

“Also, Robertson made it known he might vote to uphold the bill just to avoid a 5-4 decision if the vote was already in favor.”

Justice “Robertson” while being the least known member of the Supreme Court does tend to cast the ghostly swing vote on the Court.

1. If it's upheld 6-3, then there was a leak.

2. I don't think she'd shoot her mouth off unless there was a leak.

This country is definitely doomed.

Roberts remarks were reported here on FR after the hearings were over. Sorry I can’t provide a link.

What will Ms. Piglosi have to say when the Supremes overturns Obamacare? Surely she has a fall back plan for her next press conference - deny she ever made this statement like she did with the CIA briefing her on “Torture”?

I swear these people thinks they can speak things into truth. It’s laughable. They think they are gods.
