Well, soon the Supreme Court is going to find itself in on the horns of dilemma
Right now, the question of whether or not the healthcare "reform" mandate is winding its way through our court system. Yesterday, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals heard the case, and no matter the ruling, all agree, this is eventually going to hit the Supreme Court.

Which will leave the Supremes in a serious dilemma. Rule in favor of their corporate masters, and thus validate Obama and the mandate, or rule against the mandate in order to spite Obama.

That is what the question is going to come down to. Given the nature of our Court, the notion of Constitutionality and rule of law is a quaint anachronism the faded away long ago.

2. Then admit that.
if the notion of Constitutionality and rule of law is a quaint anachronism the faded away long ago.

Then make that the policy and quite the crap about freedom and justice, and systems like that. Rename the justice department, rename everything that refers to order and justice to something more appropriate.

And don't make any statements about justice, tell people to hack and shoot there way to what ever they want.

Because the fake justice, and the fact that I am due beer and travel money, and that has not been sent, is not something that is acceptable.


Fix it or be honest about it, and if you do want might makes right, you are really in a bad place, becuase none of the warlord wannabees are even close to even understanding what power even is, and they sure wont last very long in a might makes right rule set.

4. You have my vote for
beer and travel money and, I would like many experiences along with that.

On the other hand, unfortunately, my personal, philosophical quest has led me to realize that I don't exist, this isn't happening, and there is nowhere to go from here.

I am due a T-shirt and a free visit to an opium den, and lots of dreamy worlds.

8. I totally agree
This is where we find ourselves at this time. We have all this talk of rule of law etc but it is looking like it IS only talk. I vote to rename it the Dept for the Protection of the Wealthy

6. The Court has lost its legitimacy like an old Ford Taurus loses its freon and blows oil.
Not worth rebuilding the thing. Junk.

11. Roberts is a corporate lawyer
therefore, the outcome is already predetermined. They will throw it out.
