The Hill: Reports that President Obama has stated after attacks by Republicans that will respect the Judgement of the US Supreme Court when it comes to ObamaCare. This blog is still surprised that the result has not leaked it, you would think in many respects, in the small social circuit that is Washington D.C that the verdict either way would have come out. Lets postulate and its only a guess folks, that the Supreme Court has revoked the individual mandate but kept the rest of ObamaCare, that moves the problem to Congress. Lets be clear the Republican House wont do a d-m thing to support the rest of ObamaCare, as for the Democratic Senate the Democrats want to keep control of the Senate, thus they wont want to deal with the issue. Thus ObamaCare might be sent to the gulag, and everyone from the Oval down wishing it would disappear and be forgotten.

Respecting the Supremes = POTUS
The Hill: Reports that President Obama has stated after attacks by Republicans that will respect the Judgement of the US Supreme Court when it comes to ObamaCare. This blog is still surprised that the result has not leaked it, you would think in many respects, in the small social circuit that is Washington D.C that the verdict either way would have come out. Lets postulate and its only a guess folks, that the Supreme Court has revoked the individual mandate but kept the rest of ObamaCare, that moves the problem to Congress. Lets be clear the Republican House wont do a d-m thing to support the rest of ObamaCare, as for the Democratic Senate the Democrats want to keep control of the Senate, thus they wont want to deal with the issue. Thus ObamaCare might be sent to the gulag, and everyone from the Oval down wishing it would disappear and be forgotten.
The Pivotal State of Wisconsin - Republican Race
The New York Times: Reports on the heated election contest in the State of Wisconsin, and how Governor Romney leads Senator Santorum in the Polls of the State. It is really time for Senator Santorum to think of 2016, lets get real here folks, Governor Mitt Romney will be the 2012 Republican Nominee, if Romney is defeated and it is seen in part because of the long Republican Race then Santorum and to a lesser extent Gingrich will be blamed. These two are giving political arrows to the Obama Campaign, its time for them to get out and support Romney. Lets not forget that the real opposition is President Obama, every day that the Republicans attack each other, the more likely that Obama will win re-election and change the USA to picture the welfare States of Europe. Lets get Chicago real here folks.
President Obama in HIS OWN WORDS = ObamaCare
The White House: Transcript. The President stated the following on the US Supreme Court and ObamaCare, “ With respect to health care, I’m actually -- continue to be confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the law. And the reason is because, in accordance with precedent out there, it’s constitutional. That's not just my opinion, by the way; that's the opinion of legal experts across the ideological spectrum, including two very conservative appellate court justices that said this wasn’t even a close case.I think it’s important -- because I watched some of the commentary last week -- to remind people that this is not an abstract argument. People’s lives are affected by the lack of availability of health care, the inaffordability of health care, their inability to get health care because of preexisting conditions.The law that's already in place has already given 2.5 million young people health care that wouldn’t otherwise have it. There are tens of thousands of adults with preexisting conditions who have health care right now because of this law. Parents don't have to worry about their children not being able to get health care because they can't be prevented from getting health care as a consequence of a preexisting condition. That's part of this law.Millions of seniors are paying less for prescription drugs because of this law. Americans all across the country have greater rights and protections with respect to their insurance companies and are getting preventive care because of this law. So that’s just the part that's already been implemented. That doesn’t even speak to the 30 million people who stand to gain coverage once it’s fully implemented in 2014. And I think it’s important, and I think the American people understand, and the I think the justices should understand, that in the absence of an individual mandate, you cannot have a mechanism to ensure that people with preexisting conditions can actually get health care. So there’s not only a economic element to this, and a legal element to this, but there’s a human element to this. And I hope that’s not forgotten in this political debate. Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. And I'd just remind conservative commentators that for years what we’ve heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint -- that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example. And I’m pretty confident that this Court will recognize that and not take that step. ”. Read the Capitals words folks, my emphases, that the important part of the attack on the US Supreme Court.

Obama vs. The US Supreme Court
Guardian: Reports the following President Obama’s remarks on ObamaCare, “ ..said it would be wrong for the "unelected" supreme court to take the "unprecedented and extraordinary" decision to strike down his signature health care legislation …”. One can make a prediction folks, that the individual mandate is gone but rest of ObamaCare has been left to stand, thus pushing the issue back to the Congress, the Republican House wont fund it, and the Democratic Senate does not want the issue again, thus ObamaCare is in suspension if the prediction is right.
Legitimacy of the US Supreme Court and ObamaCare
Telegraph: Reports that President Obama has questioned the legitimacy of the US Supreme Court to strike down the individual mandate. Thus one has to ask has the result of the three day hearings before the US Supreme Court been leaked to the Oval, lets be honest here folks, the last time Washington D.C kept a real secret who was Deep Throat from the Watergate scandal, it turned out to be the Deputy Director of the FBI, also that President Kennedy had an affair with an intern. Thus one can read the remarks by the President in two ways, he thinks the Court is still discussing the issue thus open to pressure or has decided either to uphold or reject ObamaCare or parts of ObamaCare. Its tricky folks to mind read from a transcript at the best of times, but lets try, one can postulate that the result has been leaked, would POTUS take a shot at the Supremes if ObamaCare has been passed, they can still change their minds, that would VERY risky, or more likely the individual mandate has been revoked but the rest of ObamaCare has been allowed to stand, thus pushing the problem to Congress, that’s more likely folks. Interesting mind reading ahead folks.
Obama and the US Supreme Court
The Hill: Reports that President Obama has stated that Conservatives have attacked out of control Courts who replace the law with their own opinions, does not expect the US Supreme Court to be active and disallow the Individual Mandate. It odd but when it comes to liberal courses the left and Obama want the Courts to replace the law with liberal view points, but when it comes to ObamaCare, the best of example of Government over reach they want the US Supreme Court just to bow to the Oval. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Obama and ObamaCare
CNN Politics: Reports that President Obama has stated that over turning the individual mandate in ObamaCare would be a major step. One has to ask does the White House already NOW the result of the hearing before the US Supreme Court, it would surprise this blog if some of the details had not leaked somewhere, its just to big a secret to keep. As to over turning the individual mandate what about the fact that it goes against the US Constitution in the first place, as the left love to use race in elections context, at one time if you were black in the South you were a Slave, that was wrong, legally and morally, so in the view of ObamaCare if you take your first breath as a US Citizen after 26 years on your family’s healthcare you have to buy healthcare from the private market, is that not a form of Government slavery to benefit the private sector.
