By now everyone has heard about the arguments before the SCOTUS in defense and opposition to Obamacare…we have heard all the media attempts to paint this law in one light or another…..and now we all have an opinion on what will happen…..so what could I do? Offer my opinion and add it to the yells from bloggerville…..We have to wait for June to find out what the verdict will be…personally, I think 2 of the 9 judges have already made up their minds…now they need to convince a majority to go along with them.
I found it humorous that Judge Scalia seemed to be taken aback to the fact that the bill was 2700 pages and he might have to read it…..NO such luck…that will be assigned to an assistant to write him a synopsis so he does not have to do his job……anyway, that said my prediction is……..(sound of trumpets and a huge lengthy drum roll)……the SCOTUS will beat it down………
I bet you would like to know why i think so, right?
The conservs control the court and after all it is the Roberts court that gave us the Citizen United ruling…….but if the Obama guys had any nutz they would request the a coupe of the judges recuse themselves because of conflict of interests……I know what the Hell am I talking about?
First, keep this fact in mind…..the code of Conduct for judges states……Canon 4C, which states, “A judge may attend fund-raising events of law-related and other organizations although the judge may not be a speaker, a guest of honor, or featured on the program of such an event.“
Now to expand…….the Federalist Society which is a conserv legal think tank and Pfizer, Inc, a giant Pharma company recently held a dinner that included speeches and such and the program for the dinner stated that the featured guest were Supreme Court judges Scalia and Thomas… this is where the challenge should come in.
Re-read Canon 4C…………
Doubt very seriously that this will come into play or that it will even be brought up….since I think that SCOTUS is one big joke in our Federalist system, Obamacare will most likely be dismantled in the end and we can thank the SCOTUS for playing politics instead of doing their job….that is acting in a non-biased way…..a non-partisan way.
When it went to the SCOTUS, I knew it would be a goner. Still a Roberts court. Oh well.
It is all too scary…..SCOTUS has become almost as big a joke as the Congress….
