Obama says he will ‘respect’ Supreme Court's ruling on his healthcare law
The Hill ^ | 4/3/12 | Sam Baker

Posted on 04/03/2012 12:43:05 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama softened his rhetoric Tuesday about the possibility of a Supreme Court decision striking down his healthcare reform law, after Republicans accused him of “threatening” the high court. (Snip) Obama said Tuesday that he would respect the court’s opinion, but still believes the justices should not overturn the healthcare law. “The point I was making is that the Supreme Court is the final say on our Constitution, and all of us have to respect it,” he said. “But it’s precisely because of that extraordinary power that the court has traditionally exercised significant restraint and deference to a duly elected

President Ratso Rizzo changes direction

Thuggery can be "enlightening*" for those subjected to it.

If direction is changed by this man, it only means a different path leading to the same place.

*or life-altering/ending

Bullshit. A federal judge has already RULED it was unconstitutional. All implementation should have STOPPED until the question was resolved.

A federal judge also found the clown’s moratorium on offshore drilling was unconstitutional, too. And Obama and his lackey Lazar ignored that judge.

Obama ignores the overwhelmingly passed (by both houses of Congress) and signed (by a Democrat Oval Office occupier) Defense of Marriage Act.

So his bile about “respect” for SCOTUS is “just words”.

More lies. I hope the SC will do what’s best for the people; not what’s best for them and Obama. The odd thing about Obamacare is there is no health care and senior citizens are sentenced to death. We did not vote this in. It is illegal and it should be stopped. If it has to go to the SC they should throw the entire illegal thing out.

The SCOTUS refuses to be organized, like a community, by Mr. Soetoro.

“I don’t anticipate the court striking this down,” he said. “I think they take their responsibilities seriously.”

Shees.

Implication being that if the supremes don't agree with him - they are not taking their responsibilities seriously.

Narcasism palooza!

Guess the attack on the Supreme Court focus-grouped badly or polled badly.

Ya think?
