DUmmies called out by one of their heroes Thom Hartman
« on: March 28, 2012, 12:35:54 PM »
Poor old wallduded DUmmy Raven, sitting up there in Rindge, New Hampshire with nothing to do, since her big moonbat mouth got her fired from her city job, goes trolling for DUmp approval:

Will these Justices consider the human tragedies
that will take place if they vote to nullify HCR? The impact on folks with pre-existing conditions, the kids on their parents' insurance policies, the older folks getting a break on prescription costs?

Do the Justices consider those things before they make their decision?

7. You do remember Citizens United, don't you?

What started out as a case about a movie that was in reality a political film, ended up opening our election process to the highest bidder...with few restrictions.

I wouldn't put it past the 4+1 to decide that the entire law is unconstitutional...but we'll have to wait and see what is decided.
It's beautiful to see the DUmpmonkeys so upset, but we're still a long way from restoring the damage to freedom done by the Warren Court.

Nevertheless, with Bush v. Gore, D.C. v. Heller, Citizens United, and now Muslim v. America, we've been on a good run.

Unfortunately, it will quickly evaporate if the muslim is re-elected and gets to put a couple more commies on the Court.

6. Not a chance.

Their decision will be based solely on the law. That is, whatever legal precedent they can find to justify their personal political mindset.

10. I think it inherent that those justices that give a damn would--as far as the law allows...
Unfortunately, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Roberts have already shown they don't give a damn about the repercussions so long as it advances their RW Federalist agenda. Kennedy might. He did end his questioning on the mandate with a comment/acknowledgement that health care was "different", so it is hopeful.

The projection is heavy in that thread.

What the SCOTUS is designed and mandated to perform under the Constitution is to use the Constitution to determine the Constitutionality of laws. They are not to be considering of anything else.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I believe that Sotamayor had said something during her confirmation hearings that the effects on people should be considered.  She was wrong.

If The Sooty Mayor goes against the hive on the vote there won't be enough pieces of DUmmy heads left to pick up after the explosion it would be so great. Talk about wailing and gnashing of teeth  :rofl:  Think of it.   :fuelfire:

Probably no more than a rich bitch who had to do nothing more than **** for her dinner considers her own status before she tries to pretend to be an advocate for the "poor".

I think, though, we should consult the Senate for their opinion:

Hey, it's a living document...........it can mean anything a DUmmy wants it to mean.

Yeesh, get with the programming.   
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

For the life of me, I don't understand why the Repubs don't treat DemonRat liberal appointees like they do ours!

Neither one of these liberal FemiNazis should ever have seen the light of day, let alone be appointed for a lifetime to the highest court in the land!

But, some of the watchers of the procedings were surprised that Sotomayor seemed to be going after the government.

As of right now,  3:42 PM EDT, they have voted.  The decision won't come out until June, but if what I heard yesterday is correct, they've already voted on it.

Imagine what the court would now look like if AlGore had won in 2k.  That ought to wake ya up in a cold sweat.  Elections have conseqences...now where have I heard that phrase before?

And that is why this may well be the last election of a free people.  Really.

NJ can actually be referred to as Obamalite, my insurance agent said we basically have Obamacare in NJ now, what has it resulted in? for us a 19% increase this year on our premiums, I had to up the deductible so high to get the payments lower. If I kept the old plan? it was only a couple of hundred dollars less than my mortgage payment. NJ's healthcare laws resulted in companies leaving the State, to the point of only having a few choices available to us, and Doctors dropping plans like Cigna, Aetna and United Healthcare, I checked the various plans and my Doctors don't participate in a majority of the plans out there. Doctors in NJ have even pulled out of the biggest in the State Horizon BCBS. Yes, changes need to be made in Healthcare, but Obamacare isn't it, just look at NJ as an example.

You guys are foolish if you think "Medicare" for all will result in the utopia you dream of, it'll result in more of the have-nots as opposed to haves, employers will say screw it and drop their employers onto the laps of the Government, and yes, laugh all you want, but there'll be death panels too, but it'll be given a fancy new name.

I would not doubt if Sotomayor was doing that to give herself political cover to say that she judged on the basis of fact and not ideology.

It's only been a few short years, but, I seem to recall the three branches of govt. being summed up in one word for each.
Legislative -- establish
Executive -- enforce
Judicial -- interpret
Seems there was some silly notion of "balance of power" being involved.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Agreed, thundley. 

I heard Susan Estrich tell Sean Hannity, on his radio show, that she expected both Justice Kennedy and Chief Roberts to vote to uphold the law.  It's a good thing I had parked by then, because I would have missed a turn from laughing too hard.

I'm appalled she didn't recuse herself! She has no business openin' her mouth on the subject! She has ruled against health insurance companies in the past! How the hell can she say she is neutral on the issue???

 ....in court today seems one of the lawyers wanted the judges to read the bill. One of the judges asked if he expected them to read the entire 2,700 pages. Then the judge said it would violate his 8 th amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment.

Judge should have said, "Hell, Nancy Pelosei and congress didn't read it. Why should we?"

The primitives, and libs in general, refuse to acknowledge that votes in favor of retaining Obamacare by Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagen were already in the bag before the case even came before the court.  Yet somehow, it's the "conservative" judges who aren't openminded.

Or name names...

It was pretty mild, mostly consisting of "READ THE CONSTITUTION!!!"

Although he DID mention a couple of people by name.

I don't remember if you were among the spanked.
