D.C. abuzz over Obama's Supreme Court remarks

The chattering classes in Washington are still buzzing about President Obama's comments -- or were they threats? -- about the pending Supreme Court decision on the health care case.

The republicunts spent years stacking courts with unelected judges who rule based on politics instead of law, and now the republicunts are bitching because Obama mentioned it?

In Pennsylvania, Judge John Jones called a lawsuit "breathtaking inanity" for its feeble attempts to promote creationism in schools. The republicunts even whined about it despite the fact that Jones is openly christian and republican - appointed by George Bu**sh**. A rightwing judge chose to obey the US constitution and law instead of promoting religion and politics, and the republicunts bitched about it, both then and now.

You have completely missed the point. Obama has laid down a challenge to the Court's authority to up-end any laws duly enacted by the Congress. That is a complete anathema to the Court's purpose to, in fact, determine consititutionality of duly enacted laws. He went so far as to say it would be "unprecedented" which, for a "Constitutional Law Professor" to say, means he produced a lot of Constitutional illiterate lawyers.

Someone wrote about the statement the boy who would be king made regarding the Supreme Court: "I have tried very hard to have even a modicum of respect for the office of the presidency, but today he (Obama) proved himself to be an idiot."

Exactly!
