Criticism before a decision is made? It wasn’t a criticism, it was an attempt to influence their decision.

Then there was his 2010 State of the Union address…

Kagan probably already told him what the decision will be.

Funny, but some on the left are now bemoaning her moving to SCOTUS, as they would have rather seen her as Solicitor General last week than Verrilli. 👍

It may not be. We could very well see a 6-3 decision with Chief Justice Roberts writing the decision.

Do you mean 6-3 upholding the law. The theory goes Kennedy affirms so Roberts doesn’t want a 5-4 decision and goes with the majority and voila it is fait accompli. Regardless, there is not enough players among our ruling elites who give a tinkers dam what the future characteristics of this country will be. Too many folks have had their hand out so often for so long and their numbers are growing. It will not be long before they are the majority. There will be more takers than producers, then the real trouble will start. :eek:

Look at Greece, look at Spain.
 
Many have commented that last week was the worst week (so far) for the Obama administration, but I don’t think the apparatchiks have quite yet realized how bad things are going to get for them. The decision to insult and attack the Catholic Church was spectacularly stupid, even as a crass political tactic, since there are some 77 million Catholics in the country, representing about a fifth of the population. True, Catholics tend no longer to vote as a bloc (the old FDR coalition has splintered as the Irish and Italians moved out of the cities and up in the world), but a thumb in the eye to one is a thumb in the eye to all, especially when that one is the Cardinal-Archbishop of New York.

Now it’s the judiciary’s turn, and that is likely to end equally badly for the president. Because this isn’t simply an attack on a judge or court because of one ruling; it’s a pre-emptive strike on a decision that has yet to be issued. Worse, it’s not really a blitzkrieg against even the Supreme Court but is rather a direct strike against the Constitution and the Founders. And a majority of Americans understand that the Constitution is the only thing separating us from tyranny on one hand and barbarism on the other. We’ve understood for a while now that Obama finds the separation of powers inconvenient, but this takes his will to power to a new level.

Wow, did anyone hear the audio of this 5th Circuit Judge?
Federal Judge Demands Obama Explain ‘Obamacare’ Statements
Click to expand...
In a remarkable, partisan exchange in a Texas courtroom Tuesday, a federal judge demanded that the Obama administration formally explain recent statements by President Obama that some have construed as questioning the authority of courts to review, and potentially strike down, his signature health care law.

I wonder if the DoJ will complete its homework assignment.

Of course, Obama’s allies on the left are crying foul:

At the risk of being judgmental, I perceive that the average Catholic obama voter does not regret having voted for him and will still defend his choice to the death. IOW, obama has lost few Catholic votes.

The average Catholic Obama supporter is so poorly catechised that they believe that the ends justify the means.
