Well, well, here you are on more than one thread, assuring everyone that the Supreme Court is ready to affirm Obamacare with only Clarence Thomas dissenting.

What are you accomplishing by making such a prediction?

You are here to dispirit, to depress, to make people want to give up the fight.

There is no way you know any such thing is going to happen.

Troll.

Your point would actually be valid if you were talking about proposed congressional action. How are my posts making people want to give up the fight? Do you want me to lie and say that I think the court is going to strike it down when they've given every indication over the past 70 years that Congress can basically do whatever the hell it wants. Well, well, I'm sorry if that upsets you, but it is the TRUTH.

In actuality, however, what does the margin matter? Does it matter if it is affirmed by a vote of 5-3 or 8-1? Is it any more or less bad if it is affirmed by a smaller margin? No, it is horrible EITHER way. I was simply prognosticating as to what I thought the Supreme Court would do. I am stating FACT that there has only been ONE justice on the Supreme Court that has been willing to take a constitutional view of the Commerce Clause, and that justice is Clarence Thomas. You can insult me and tell me I'm wrong all you want, but I actually read most of the important opinions that SCOTUS releases every term and I know how their minds work.

Anyway, when the case goes before the Supreme Court, what are you going to do to change their minds? They're not Congress. I'm not trying to dispirit people about a law's chances in Congress, where enthusiasm and activism and passion could actually have an IMPACT. The Supreme Court justices are appointed for life and they are not accountable to anyone. Nothing anyone says on any internet forum is going to have ANY effect on their ruling.

Come on, please quibble with anything I said above, txrangerette. It's easy to call someone names when they say something you disagree with, but it's the mark of someone who doesn't have anything worthwhile to say about the topic.

P.S. — so much for your supposed “manners and decorum.”
