Kelso and Lawrence v. Texas both make me shiver. I enjoyed reading this, but I am not totally optimistic. It could very easily go against us.
However, the one thing, the major thing that I keep coming back to, is that Obama has seriously offended the Justices of the Supreme Court on more than one occasion — and judges have long memories.
And remember, the Supremes — like congress — is a co-equal branch of the government. Even the Liberal justices are probably a bit irritated about the disregard Obama has showne for the rule of law.
I just hope I am not clinging to straws.
Remember the public bitch-slapping Obozo gave the Court during the SOTU address two years ago?
Coming on this thread late but... Obama 'publically' on naional and International TV, insulted the 'Supremes'....I doubt very much that they saw that as a simple offense...they may very well "play with the Broccoli" in full view of the audiance because Obam knows what the Broccli issue was about...even if the audiance might not. Bottom line...I don't think you're pulling at straws at all... and it is a major thing.
You are kidding yourself if you think the Supremes will make a decision by a minor slight obambi said at a State of Union message. I actually hope they are not that biased and rule by Constitutional intent.
