WASHINGTON -- Long-simmering resentment between the conservative Supreme Court and the Democratic Congress and White House approached a boil Wednesday, as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid criticized Chief Justice John Roberts and his fellow conservatives for striking down limits on corporate political spending.
"Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?" the Nevada Democrat said at a meeting of liberal bloggers. With all nine justices having been drawn from the lower courts, the Supreme Court lacks understanding of the practical impact of its decisions, Mr. Reid said, according to the Web site Huffington Post.
A spokesman for Mr. Reid, Jim Manley, confirmed the remarks and added that the majority leader strongly backed President Barack Obama's push for legislation requiring corporations to disclose their political spending and imposing other regulations.

What an inflammatory feeb.
“Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?”
Harry, I think he understands perfectly.
I think I could live for the day when this sorry assed pipsqueak gets his ass handed to him.
Reid loathes free speech...for conservatives. And if I want to give $10,000,000 (which, alas, I don’t have) to a favorite candidate, who is Reid to forbid it?
“Do you think John Roberts knows or cares how people get elected?”
That’s not their job to know or care. Their job is to measure laws against the Constitution and uphold the Constitution.
0bama and his Democrats are working hard to bias the court against themselves for the next time some of their unconstitutional legislation is up for judicial review.
They have no sense of history, no sense of honor, no sense of value or values, just the desire for pure, raw power, and the ability to use it.
May God preserve us!
Puppet.
Another Obamarionette.
The aging lesbian will be looking for work at that “Pawn Stars” place by the end of the year...
Keep it up, whiners. Public opinion will go against you obamanuts on this one.
The USSC may be wrong on some of its decisions, but it needs to stay out raw, open politics. And (other than the political nature of appointments) politics needs to leave it alone so the justices can make decisions based on law.
I know the nitty-gritty working of the USSC is not perfect, but it is what we have.
I do t think filthy Harry knows how people get elected, because he’s been doing exactly the opposite for some time now.
Do you think Harry Reid knows or cares about the Constitution of the United States?
Buying votes with Health care? - Other peoples money?
I don’t think filthy Harry knows how people get elected, because he’s been doing exactly the opposite for some time now.
I hope Harry’s thrown out of office so hard he breaks his damn neck.
You nailed it: They are waging a PR campaign, thinking they’ll turn the people against the Court in preparation for packing it with a slew of leftist hacks.
It’s not working, but in their arrogance they probably think it is.
Obama is a Communist.
Everything that spews from this administration must be filtered through that fact.
He and his crew are going after the Supremes.... either to shame these guys out or to “expand the court”. Bet on it... that will be the next communist trick up his sleve.
Bring back Dueling.
10 months and youre outahere, you POS.
This is just more conclusive proof that this ugly twerp of an alleged human being, Dinghy Harry Reid, is an utter Moron and hopefully in November will follow in Tommy Daschle’s miniature foot steps! The day Dinghy Harry leaves the Senate for the last time will surely be a Glorious Day for AMERICA!
>>With all nine justices having been drawn from the lower courts, the Supreme Court lacks understanding of the practical impact of its decisions<<
Either this guy thinks the public is stupid or he is woefully ignorant of the laws that govern the very people he is supposed to be representing. The supreme court’s job is to know the constitution. This law was nconstitutional.
Harry, if it is such a travesty, get busy on that next constitutional amendment.
Yeah, I suspect this too. The Democrats have been bashing the Court for months. Any day I expect Osama to announce that it only "makes sense" to expand the court to 12 and then submit all far-left nominees.
Correct...
That pesky little document...
fyi

you forgot: pay for third party useful idiots to act as vote splitters to divide opposition voters.
If they attempt to pack the court by adding more justices,
they’re going to find out why firearm and ammo sales were up 300% since nov ‘08.
I’m hoping that 41 Senators would never agree to “pack the Court.”
Good Bye Harry, you nasty, hateful toad.
“...the Supreme Court lacks understanding of the practical impact of its decisions, Mr. Reid said...” NO. Harry just DISAGREES with the practical impact of the Court’s decisions...that is, when the Court does not advance the agenda of the radical left.
..........And if I want to give $10,000,000............who is Reid to forbid it?...etc...
= == = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
He would definitely be on board if it was earmarked for him....
To be successful they need to get public opinion on their side. To get public opinion on their side they need to demonize one or all of the conservative members on the court.
They have been planning this for a while; who knows what secrets they have in store for us?
And later -- Most of FDR's socialist agenda was gutted by the Supreme Court.
The more history changes, the more likely it's just repeating -- Note the kids ring around the FDR. With these Oppressives it's all about the children, didn't you know? Stalin would call the people who were conned with promised freebies to vote for their own imprisonment, useful idiots. The very same types Chavez uses in his socialist paradise of Venezuela where a country of 28 million has a higher murder rate than the USA with near 10x the population. I am sure they are murdered for a good cause. Hardly any of the crimes are solved in Venezuela, do you think that is by design?
One of the more obscure things about FDR, the NAACP thought his election would end lynching, which was carried out by Democrat operatives for the most part. FDR refused.
Democrats taking cold shower after FDR died -- WOW, that was really bad -- The dead body of FDR was just barely in his grave when the 22nd amendment was passed preventing more than two presidential terms. I wonder why the Oppressives don't like to bring that point up when talking about FDR and his New Deal social justice crapola?
Read the history of FDR and his New Deal, it's very informative when talking about our new dear reader "social justice" Oppressive president.
Lessee now, the Commiecrats offended/dissed the following powerhouses:
1- The CIA/FBI
2- Israel/Mossad
3- The US military
4- The UK/MI6
5- SCOTUS.......and above all, most Americans!
I find it remarkable that 0b0z0 and his thugs aren’t afraid of eventually going to jail.
Maybe, Judge Roberts and the rest of the conservative judges will find one, just one, citizen or entity that has STANDING!
It’s about time to toilet-train 0kaka by dumping him and his thugs in the toilet they belong!
“Long-simmering resentment between the conservative Supreme Court...”
The Supreme Court is CONSERVATIVE???? Since when???
Excellent post. Finding and demonizing a boogeyman is the oldest rat trick in the book. Newt’s gone, DeLay is gone, Rove is gone - - they failed miserably with Rush and Palin - - so now maybe it’s John Roberts? If so, they are more desperate than I thought.
Anyway, in Robert’s case it’s not about impeachment, it’s about the next Ubanga nominee.
Interesting remark coming from one of those who would nullify the power of our elections by inserting language into a bill stating that it can never be repealed.
Does this include the SEIU and other unions that support the RATS?
This makes me wonder if Mr. Reid was born without a sense of irony or if he had it surgically removed.
I find it interesting that he singled out the ENTIRE SCOTUS, even the “wise Latina.” That could work against him and his friends eventually.
