Obama's vieled threat to the Supreme Court

Obama's words with my commentary

Obama "And I think it's important - and I think the American people understand, and I think the justices should understand that in the absence of an individual mandate, you cannot have a mechanism to ensure that people with pre-existing conditions can actually get health care."

Me "I think that it's important that the american people should not be forced to pay for anything."

Obama "So there's - there's not only an economic element 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."

Me "The debate should not be about people, it is about the constitutionality of Obamacare. The liberals are so set on Social justice that they have ripped up the constitution and have replaced it with Socialists policies. That is not what the Founding Fathers wanted for our country."

Obama "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."

Me "There was not a strong majority of the democratically elected Congress. None of the republicans voted for it and there were democrats who also voted against it, our Utah congresman Mattheson was one because he had alot of pressure from his constituents. Besides it would not be an unprecidented step. There have been other times in the course of our 200 years as a Nation"

Obama "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 - this court will recognize that and not take that step."

Me "I was flabergasted that he would say that the Supreme Court is an unelected group of people. Of course they are, they is in the constitution, but Obama makes it sound like it is bad. People tell me that Obama was a Constitutional teacher at some college. What was he teaching? What constitution was he teaching? Obama is sounding like a king giving orders. That is scary!"
