“Dems Warn Of Grave Damage To SCOTUS If Obamacare Is Struck Down”
Nancy Pelosi’s wig will have to work overtime scrambling to come up with an Obamacare II.

How can you have the Speaker of the House at the time say “We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it,” and then claim rigorous vetting, constitionality, and transparency.
Once again Senator Kerry reminds the nation of the dodged bullet for not electing his partisan hack brain dead a$$.

Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) said the law has been thoroughly vetted. As a senior member of the Finance Committee, he said, I can tell you that we had one of the most rigorous and transparent legislative processes that I have witnessed in almost 3 decades here in the Congress.

It serves as a warning as to why we CANNOT let the dems control both Houses of Congress...article III has a hidden bomb in it: In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction.In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make. what that means practically is that Congress could, simply by passing a law, make a case off limits for the SC to hear. So far the Congress' respect for due process and democracy has caused them not to exercise that power, but with these guys?
To: Sybeck1
If the do not overturn this POS law and I really do hope they kill it, they should eliminate every exemption that have been passed. Eliminate all of them, every company has to pay into it especially the Cadillac plans, eliminate the exception for muslims and the such.
If it is good for everyone than force everyone to pay into it and force them to use it, otherwise kill it.

Yes, I agree with the Dems that “Grave Damage To SCOTUS If Obamacare Is Struck Down”. I saw Maddow argue this the other night.
At least Kagan is unbiased on this case and has a head start on it too.
This reminds me of something I noticed during Bush’s first term. Back then Republicans were complaining about the SCOTUS decisions so CNN and few others liberal MSM started doing shows and segments on how Republicans questioning the SCOTUS would undermine the ‘rule of law’. Not the decisions themselves, but the criticism.
It’s amazing how tables can turn.

” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D), a former attorney general of Connecticut. The court commands no armies, it has no money; it depends for its power on its credibility. The only reason people obey it is because it has that credibility.”
No, you sick, twisted psycho....people obey it, because it is the L A W

You fat cats need to pay their fair share.
As long as there is a SINGLE poor Hispanic kid in AZ then you are not paying enough $$$ to Obama, and more of them are on the way :)

The Dems don’t want to kick Lucy’s football twice. No tax increases on Big Oil, to pay for another bankrupt green criminal enterprise.
Dems “Go F yourself, Obama!!”

Yes, we need to tax oil to make it cheaper, Obamas experts promise us that it will work at least as good as Obama-care and the stimulus did.

I have always believed that liberals are so determined to get their way that they are willing to risk civil war to do so. I dont know what the issue will be (maybe its this one) but one day it will happen. They are NOT going to allow rule of law, the constitution, will of the people, or any of that to keep them from getting what they want.
As far as Im concerned, they can start now. Let it happen while Im still young enough to carry a gun and fight. I would hate to see it start when Im in my late 70s or 80s and unable to do my part.
I honestly think they think we will just lay down and accept it.
However, if it does lead to a war. I agree. Lets get it started. I am young enough to fight and my kids are old enough to be ok with out me. I am raising my kids the right way, outside of the nest of the government. Neither attend government schools (my wife teaches them)
we started deprogramming them 4 months ago. Both are turning in to great little capitalists with the ability to help rebuild our nation once what infects it is rooted out and removed.

I doubt that will happen unless shes passes away.
She’ll stay until a democrat can replace her or she is dead. (of natural causes)

The Dems dont want to kick Lucys football twice. No tax increases on Big Oil, to pay for another bankrupt green criminal enterprise.The ones who see others' wealth as their own don't care about govt. boondoggles. Hell, some of them want to govt. to spend as much as possible on Solyndras. But grabbing private citizens' wealth and property via the power of taxation and "redistribution" is the main goal.
But I think you are partly right. Some of them know it would be foolish and wrong.

The court commands no armies, it has no money; it depends for its power on its credibility. The only reason people obey it is because it has that credibility.Logical conclusion from this statement: If Obamacare is struck down, the Supreme Court has no credibility. If the Supreme Court has no credibility, it's ruling can be ignored. Therefore, the Executive Branch will continue to enforce the law.
What then?
