Supreme Court shocks life into Obamacare challenge
WND ^ | Matt Barber

The emperor wears no clothes. The bloom is off the rose. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Pardon the barrage of stale metaphors, but it’s difficult to put into words the utter pasting Mitt Romney put on Barack Obama Wednesday night.

Pat Buchanan called Romney’s “the finest debate performance” in 52 years “with the possible exception of Ronald Reagan’s demolition of Jimmy Carter in 1980.”

Indeed, when all of CNN and MSNBC – to include Chris Matthews, Lawrence O’Donnell and Rachel Maddow – hysterically admit that President Obama got smoked; he got smoked. Bad.

Liberal blogger and Obama sycophant Andrew Sullivan captured the universally shared “progressive” panic as the brutal mismatch came to a close: “How is Obama’s closing statement so f—ing sad, confused and lame? He choked. He lost. He may even have lost the election tonight.”

For those of us who have long recognized the messianic myth that is Barack Hussein Obama, Wednesday night was especially gratifying.

The world had fallen prey to a cartoonish hoax. This media-crafted Iron Man has proven a mere mortal, a tin man, an international embarrassment.

The jig is up.

On Wednesday night, Mitt Romney stripped away the costume and exposed, naked beneath, a man more closely resembling Robert Downey Jr.

You know Obama's in trouble when leftist publications like The New Yorker mock him!

I thought the same thing. Seriously bad headline. The SCOTUS stuff comprises the second half of the article.

Why does the title have nothing to do with the excerpt?

Help me understand.

FTA:

Long story short: If the Supreme Court ultimately hears the case on appeal – which is highly possible as the claims are unique – and rules that the employer mandate and Free Exercise claims are legit, Obamacare dies on the vine. It’s effectively overturned. It’s like a shiny new Chevy Volt without the exploding battery. It goes nowhere fast and is towed to the junkyard of really, really stupid ideas.

Great article. I was thinking this summer after the first challenge that because Obamacare was so large and so intrusive that it was going to take more than one time at the Supreme Court to bring it down.

We all expected the Court to swipe it away in one splat when it is probably going to take many splats. It is the nature of the beast that requires the correct guns and the correct boxes of ammo.

One more point. When Pelosi said that they had to pass it in order to find out what's in it, I thought to myself that the best way to explain how it was written is to say that they had one computer and they invited everyone to step up and add what they wanted. HHS, Obama's leftist professor buddies, leftist democrats in Congress, anyone with a marxist ax to grind, all stepped up and popped in their memory sticks. Constitutional? What is that?

Click on the article. I thought the same thing until I read it. It is quite interesting and encouraging.

John Roberts will never let anything happen to Obama/Romneycare.

Chief Justice Roberts will not vote for anything that would kill any part of Obamacare.

The New Yorker gives both Romney and Clint Eastwood legitimacy. Unbelievable.

I think he is looking for an excuse to "make a new decision" after getting pummeled by conservatives.

I'm also thinking that he's looking for a do-over. The zeitgeist in DC is about to change and maybe he now wants to be more socially acceptable (that seems very important to him) to the incoming tenants.

I apologize to all; I read it and am encouraged...why isn’t anyone covering the possible appeal? Certainly Thomas and Scalia would back Roberts if Roberts accepted this...and it would be a path to recovery for him.
