But with this case being brought by the states against the Federal government, it is much more likely that the court will hear it because that's the kind of dispute that can't be solved politically.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-6359217439494604802010-05-14T08:58:05.463-04:002010-05-14T08:58:05.463-04:00That sounds great!

I know that the Supreme Court often refuses to hear cases as meritless, or no legal precedent. Another unwritten rule, Barrycare being created by two of the three branches of government, legislative and executive, they hesitate over stepping their bounds. Thus leaving the creation of laws to the voter. But, as we know, Barry and his leftist minions, forced this law through against the will of the American people.

States don't just file suit to see what happens.<br /><br />Neither Sotomayor or Kagan can affect the outcome because they are replacing minority (liberal) votes. Thus, at worst, we are still looking at a 5-4 conservative majority. . . assuming everyone continues to vote the same as they have been.<br /><br />That said, from what I've seen, Kagan actually seems to respect the Constitution (Drudge's headlines notwithstanding). <b>IF</b> that's the case, then we could be looking at a 6-3 decision instead of a 5-4, which would be even more significant. But, as I said the other day, nothing is sure with Kagan yet -- though the evidence seems to be that she respects the constitutional framework. We'll have to wait and see.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-47564808235347463412010-05-13T22:44:46.081-04:002010-05-13T22:44:46.081-04:00Seems to me any time 20 of 50 states ban together ...Seems to me any time 20 of 50 states ban together to stop a government law that alone makes it "serious".<br /><br />So how does Sotomayor and Kagan changes in the court help or hurt this?Individualisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005025873042230314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-21938338601112202852010-05-13T22:40:13.698-04:002010-05-13T22:40:13.698-04:00Thanks Writer X!
You're right about the MSM. ...Thanks Writer X!<br /><br />You're right about the MSM. Somehow they seem to be able to report every single person opposed to Arizona, but not a single mention of all the polls that show close to 70% support nationwide for Arizona. They did a ton of stories on how frivolous these suits were but never mentioned that more and more states are joining them, and this was the only story I found that actually told the truth about the merits of the suits.<br /><br />It's the same old story everytime. You have to really look for news that opposes the MSM's liberal-world view, but you can just sit back and be flooded with unsupported stories that support liberalism.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-66714748319759293132010-05-13T21:58:58.181-04:002010-05-13T21:58:58.181-04:00Bravo, Commentarama!

And may very well prevail.<br /><br />Perhaps Obama should go back to making lame jokes off teleprompter. That seems to be what he does best.Writer Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-55349533388154880412010-05-13T18:53:18.843-04:002010-05-13T18:53:18.843-04:00Andrew: I hope they're not leaving town on Mu...Andrew: I hope they're not leaving town on Muni.

And everything I know about this court and its prior cases tells me that they will strike down the requirement that people buy insurance. But until it happens, that's just a guess. . . but it's a guess that even the left is beginning to accept.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-18253890752133623682010-05-13T18:26:37.220-04:002010-05-13T18:26:37.220-04:00Lawhawk, I suspect Arizona will defeat California ...Lawhawk, I suspect Arizona will defeat California without our help because Arizona has a thriving economy, whereas California's economy seems to be based on transporting people and businesses out of California.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-51237565770089003862010-05-13T18:14:07.275-04:002010-05-13T18:14:07.275-04:00Andrew - if this law gets challenged and eviscerat...Andrew - if this law gets challenged and eviscerated, I will kiss your feet!!!
