Obama v Supreme Court

Good day all. Last week the United States Supreme Court spent three days listing to arguments about the constitutionality of Obamacare.

The questions from most of the justices were very tough for the Solicitor General and he didn’t handle himself very well. The probable reason is that he knows this law is blatantly unconstitutional, and while he is required to defend it, ethically, he is an officer of the court and can’t lie about it.

As I said, the questioning was very tough and thoughtful in most cases. Justices Kagan and Ginsburg-Bader showed their usual contempt for the constitution. In fact, Justice Kagan should have recused herself due to her prior work in ramming this POS through in the first place.

In any case, the questioning has lead most of Obamacare’s supporters to think that at the very least the mandate will be tossed out, (Which guts the law for all intents and purposes), and may throw the whole mess down the crapper due to a lack of a severability clause. This has caused the left to go into a blind panic.

They are looking to blame anyone for this thing being declared unconstitutional. The Solicitor General’s poor performance is popular and now they are starting their accusations that the conservative justices are going to legislate from the bench. It is inconceivable to them that their pride and joy, the virtual enslavement of the American People to the federal government, is going to be thrown out. It hasn’t occurred to them that this piece of drek was bad from the get go.

For to long, since at least the Roosevelt administration, the courts have generally deferred to the Congress when it came to taking power and rights away from the states and the people. Now it looks like the court is finally beginning to understand that things have gone to far and that Obamacare was nothing more than an absolute power grab.

Obama has never liked the constitutions limits on his power and he has been generally ignoring those limits, safe in the knowledge that the Democrats would generally back him and the spineless cowards in the Republican party would do nothing to stop him. Now Obama is taking on the court. There are rumors that the decision was leaked and he knows that he has lost. Now he is accusing the USSC ((The Supreme Court of the United States)) of indulging in “Judicial Activism.”

Here’s the scoop from Reuters:

President Barack Obama took an opening shot at conservative justices on the Supreme Court on Monday, warning that a rejection of his sweeping healthcare law would be an act of “judicial activism” that Republicans say they abhor.

For Democrats, as long as the courts rule their way, it’s “Upholding the constitution. If they rule against them, even when it’s obviously an unconstitutional law, it’s activism. Of course, Liberal Progressive Democrats are masters of projecting what they are doing on others, such as Bush was going to ignore the constitution when Obama HAS been doing just that. Or that Bush was taking us into illegal wars as Obama did in Libya. ((Leon Panetta tells congress Obama can start wars without them)) Now the shoe is on the other foot and the Democrats don’t like it one bit.

“Ultimately, I am confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress,” Obama said at a news conference with the leaders of Canada and Mexico.

The one thing missing from that statement, but no doubt implied was “Or Else.”

“And I’d just remind conservative commentators that, for years, what we have heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism, or a lack of judicial restraint, that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law,” Obama said.

Of course, the problem is the law wasn’t “Duly constituted.” It was jammed down the throats of the American people against their wishes. Now we’re beginning to see just how bad this thing is. The first steps, the suppression of the Catholic Church, (As well as other religions that are pro-life), have begun.

Obama’s advisers say they have not prepared contingency plans if the measure fails. But the president — who expressed confidence that the court would uphold the law — made clear how he would address it on the campaign trail if the court strikes it down.

My guess is, he will do what he always does. Ignore the court or the Congress. After all, he is “The One.” He is “The Light Bringer.” “How dare these little people stand in the way of My greatness?”

Yeah, Obama has the same sort of megalomania as Hugo Chavez, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin and other tyrants throughout history.

The Supreme Court justices are expected to issue decisions in the dispute by late June, a time when the presidential campaign season is likely to be in full swing.

This was exactly the one thing Obama and the Democrats did NOT want to have happen. If the court strikes down Obamacare, then people will have confirmation that Obama’s signature legislation, (That he really didn’t do much to get passed), was unconstitutional. If the court upholds it, it will enrage an already angry electorate, probably causing an even bigger blowout of Democrats than in 2010.

I suspect that if it was upheld, one of the first things to start happening would be a full blown effort for the states to call a Constitutional Convention to strip power away from Congress and the President. Failing that, the probability of an outright civil war increases by several orders of magnitude.

Do you need a reason to vote in November? Here it is. We need to clean out the rot on both sides of the aisle.

Remember in November!
