How do they do that? SCOTUS is a completely separate branch.

No one dare speaketh of what should be front page headlines - that Obama's health insurance law has been nullified because he has changed it without going through the proper Constitutional channel appropriated by law.

If he isn't the lawless one I will eat my hat and the crow that sits in it.

Pressuring a Judge? Isn't that, like, you know ... illegal?

Obama is probably just applying the same methods he used on Justice Roberts. Hey, it worked once. Might as well go for two.

Pressuring a judge...illegal? Not in the post-Constitutional regency of bh0, where his diktat is law.

“... It needs to be reversed “FOREVER” just as prohibition was reversed...by a Constitutional amendment.”

::::::::::::

Yes, it does, and post haste. This legislative horror story needs to be prevented in the future, and severe penalties need to be put into place for the OBVIOUS law breakers and for those deliberately working to support political agendas as opposed to working FOR the people. The breaking of the Presidential Oath should be a major felony in my opinion.

“If he isn’t the lawless one I will eat my hat and the crow that sits in it.”

He’s one of them, I believe. THE one? For whatever reason, my sense is no. I imagine someone worse appearing, someone able to fool most of the other half who hate Obama.

Aren’t muslims exempt from 0bamacare for religious reasons?

There are several reasons why an individual could claim exemption, being a member of a religion that does not believe in insurance is one of them. Islam is one of those religions. Muslims believe that health insurance is “haraam”, or forbidden; because they liken the ambiguity and probability of insurance to gambling. This belief excludes them from any of the requirements, mandates, or penalties set forth in the bill. Other excluded groups include Amish, American Indians, and Christian Scientists.

Those NRA files sure are a boon for a “Chicago Way” tyrant.

Re Muslims exempt from Obamacare, it seems as though they are not explicitly exempted.

From Forbes:

Your “sect” has to have been in continuous existence since December 31, 1950, and the Commissioner of Social Security must agree that your sect “has the established tenets or teachings” consistent with opposition to medical benefits. While there are some on the Internet who believe that this religious exemption applies to Islam, it doesn’t appear that way to me, as Muslims are not exempt from Social Security. Instead, the exemption is meant for groups like the Amish.

--- end of snip ---

The bottom line is that it all depends on how some regulator interprets the ACA rules.

Perhaps the season has caused her to reflect and then fear for her immortal soul. Or not.

This is pure political theater. There has never been and will never be any doubt that the Sotomizor IS obama, want exactly the same thing and are going through the process of implementation in a way they feel will hurt them the least.

An argument could certainly be made comparing John Roberts to the most treacherous of American traitors.

It would be quite an irony if Sotomayor turned out to be Obama’s Earl Warren. Eisenhower appointed Warren thinking that he was appointing a rational jurist, only to find out that he had appointed an unprincipled left-wing tyrant with no respect for the law or the Constitution. Obama appointed Sotomayor thinking he was appointing an unprincipled left-wing tyrant. How ironic if it were to turn out that she actually respects the law and the Constitution.

This relentless pursuit by the administration to gain acquiescence from religious institutions which morally object to the mandate is nothing short of religious persecution.

I am not a fan of Sotomayor, but she is in my prayers today ... prayers that God will give her the strength to stand up to the evil that is the Obama Administration. They are the Devil's thugs, determined that people of God will forsake their God and instead will bend their knee to the government.

Wouldn’t it be easier if Holder just sent a couple of his homies over to her house with some pliers and a blowtorch?

How do they do that? SCOTUS is a completely separate branch.

"John! How are you? Kids doing well? Jack, and...Josie? Good! Good! Listen, I need a favor. Talk to Sonia for me, OK? Tell her we've got some interesting things we'd like to discuss with her. Compensation? Sure! Sure! You know we take care of our own, right John? Excellent! Talk to you later! Bye!"
