I agree with him and think the result leaked to the dems as soon as they voted after oral argument. Hope I’m wrong.
Preparing for a possible slapdown.
Oh, STFU, Laurence.
I agree, especially because of Robert’s vote against the sovereignty of Arizona.
Limbaugh said yesterday, that he was not surprised by Robert’s vote in regards to Arizona, then started to mention something about obamaCare and Robert’s vote, after pausing he said no can’t go there (or something to that effect).
Limbaugh knows many influential people with great knowledge about the courts workings. Personally, I think Limbaugh already knows the outcome. Which is another reason he said several times yesterday, he was scared.
Does the limited and enumerated power given to Congress entail an unlimited and unenumerated basis of power?
Is the power to regulate interstate commerce the power to regulate EVERYTHING that may have any effect - however tangential - upon interstate commerce.
At its heart - do we live in a Republic with a government of limited and defined powers?
Well, that pretty much sums it all up right there - we're from the gov't and we're here to help you. Because, you know, the problems are just too big for you little fly-over morons to handle on your own.
Could be some of the law will stay and some will go. But if the Court allows the law to stand in its entirety, then we will know that the Supremes don’t have the balls to stand up to Obama. Since Congress has already rolled over and played dead, we can kiss the separation of powers goodbye. What will stop Obama from cancelling the elections and appointing himself dictator?
No wonder people are stocking up on guns and ammo. If we want protection from this tyrant for ourselves and our loved ones, we will have to do it ourselves.
LOL, if there was a leak and I simply KNOW there was not, it would have been all over the news in a matter of minutes. There is no way anyone in Washington could have kept this secret for this long and when I say no chance I mean NO CHANCE.
I am not predicting an outcome because i do not know the outcome and neither does anyone else with the exception of the Justices and the clerks. The clerks would never release the info IMO because having the job of clerk to a USSC Justice is a huge feather in their cap and to lose the job would be a disgrace they would never be able to live down.
I believe so, too, especially in light of Pelosi's prediction of a 6-3 vote to uphold. I suspect Kagan tipped off the regime, who in turn briefed Reid and Pelosi.
Very true and bad for our Constitution.
Does anyone know Robert's wife's political beliefs? That may be a factor.
Roberts defecting on this one would be an unmitigated disaster.
Robert’s performance on the Arizona case indicates that he sees himself as the new Earl Warren.
I think events of the past 3.5 years have already answered that question.
I heard the show and you are misrepresenting what Limbaugh said. His being afraid was with regard to the feds abandoning cooperation with AZ in the rounding up of reported illegal aliens and had nothing to do with the pending decision on Obamacare.
In fact he clearly said he had no information on the outcome of the pending decision.
The focus was on only 4 points of a far larger piece of law. He managed to get through the only really important part ~ check status of people stopped ~ and avoided having the whole law chucked into the crick ~ which one of the Leftwingtards would have done.
If he did the same thing here, look for a sort of reversal of the process in AZ. Let's say Roberts wrote the decision in ObamaKKKare by voting with the/a majority that agreed on maybe only 1 thing, e.g. meddicaid eligibility.
So he takes that and hedges it in a bit, still satisfactory to the working majority.
He then finds OTHER 5/4 majorities for tossing out a whole nest of other things including a 9-0 agreement on chucking out the individual mandate (which is otherwise a very tiny part of the bill).
That would result in something very much like the result described by Ruthy Ginsburg ~ to wit, lots of divisions.
Larry Tribe underestimates his student. Larry would never be that clever mostly because he, himself, is a rather doltish thinker.
Alternatively, he could have early on recognized that the individual mandate was popular with the court's majority, and simply voted with them to get the right to write the majority decision, and left Obamakkkare with nothing but the individual mandate!
That'd be equally divisive I think, but certainly effective.
