Odumbo/Dictator WARNS, 'unelected' Supreme Court against striking down health law'

[PiggyBank]

Quote from AK Forty Seven:

Fact-Obama wasn't selected under the old system,he was selected under the current system


Why try to get the selection under the old system when you know that system is no longer being used

For the last time, the system was changed to incorporate minorities (who obviously couldn't compete solely based on grades), under the original system the top student was pres, he was NOT the top student. That was my point in the post that u quoted, it still stands.

Plus while he may have graduated in the top 10%, I don't see anything that specifies that he would automatically be an editor.. we don't know his class size, nor the amount of editors in his class. Plus he has admitted himself that he "may have benefited from AA during his academic career". We don't know what his grades were before Harvard and we don't know if he was admitted to HLS based on AA or not. But assuming his grades were exceptional and he qualified as an editor without AA.. see first sentence.

What does this matter anyway? his comments about the SC this week display either ignorance of the Constitution and role of the SC, OR disregard for the same laws and roles outlined in the Constitution.

Legislating from the bench is a bad idea, unless of course you're on the other side of the argument. Then it's a good idea, very good.
I guess in a world where corporations are people, anything is possible, even making people buy health insurance whether they want it or not. Rome continues to burn.

In the laugh of the day column. Here is Nancy Pelosi's prediction today on the SCOTUS vote on ObamaCare.

"I'm predicting 6-3 in favor," Mrs. Pelosi told the Paley Center for Media. "We shall see. It's a lesson in civics, and I respect it."

She didn't say which six justices she thought would uphold the law.

We all agree with that.

Now its not legislation if a law is struck down because it runs counter to the life and liberty protected by our constitution. That is the courts role.

Finding new laws and new powers is what is legislating from the bench. Making special classes of people and contorting plain meaning... that is legislating from the bench.

Quote from Mav88:

not impressive, it was a symbolic position given to him because he is black.

President of a journal is simply a title, get a brain. How many journal articles was he first author of? It really is laughable that the man's best intellectual achievement is 'Audacity of hope'

==============

Well perhaps he is worried about [a] the logic of Rep Nancy saying pass that bill so we can find out what is in it

Perhaps he is worried about all the conservative victories [state, national ...elections] in the past 2 years/3 years..Ted Kennedy's seat, WOW, went ''Republican '' LOL

[z] Perhaps further worried about the sarcastic supreme cout logic of [z]since we all have to eat, pass a federal law requiring brocolli be eaten??...


Maybe he is worried about all the people & scientists who do NOT believe in global warming, aka''climate change''

You are a faggot for pulling this birther crap again.

Obama just urged the Court to observe precedent. You would of course agree, right?

Show me Supreme Court precedent which declares a person born to a a Kenyan National is a Natural Born U.S. Citizen. Not just a U.S. citizen but a Natural Born Citizen.

She's assuming Roberts will join Kennedy and uphold it, based on sideline, 4th estate analysis.
