IRememberDBoon Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 in the first damn place. everyone cries about noone compromising but the president compromised and took a republican idea and tried to work with them shows what you get for that sh*t. We spent all that political capital and these babies are gonna kill it in court. sickening. AND THEY STILL HAVE NO ANSWER FOR THE PROBLEM! insurance companies and pharmies are costing this country more than SS or the pentagon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ih8music Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 relax, it ain't dead yet. and hate to break it you, but a single payer system will just never pass in the good old US of A, at least not in our lifetime. Way too much private sector money at risk to do something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ih8music Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Understandable, but it really only matters what Kennedy and Roberts think at this point. The other 7 seem pretty entrenched in their positions, as expected. BTW, I'm so amused at all of this play-by-play (and sometimes painfully partisian) reporting of this Court hearing. Like anything that these reporters say/write is going to shape what the Court's final decision will be. We'll all find out soon enough, and just because a judge asks one side tough questions doesn't necessarily mean s/he's going to vote that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LouieB Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 This whole mess only goes to show how important the Supremes have become. Where are all the conservatives decrying that this is not what the founding fathers intended the Supreme Court to do? LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judicial review was fully expected by the drafters of the Constitution, which became official with Marshall's opinion in Marbury v. Madison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Understandable, but it really only matters what Kennedy and Roberts think at this point. The other 7 seem pretty entrenched in their positions, as expected. It is sad when a major decision comes down to what one person thinks. I can say this is not what the founders wanted. They wanted an impartial judical review, not a split court of with four conversatives and four liberals and one swing. Why don't we make Kennedy king of the supreme court, becasue it is apparent that it is only his opinion matters. I am really tired of the 5-4 decisions, I would much rather see a 7-2 decision regardless of the outcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 im actually a big fan of the court even though i couldnt disagree with them more right now this is a really weird case when they overrule congressional powers. been a long time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 How is it not? Judicial review was fully expected by the drafters of the Constitution, which became official with Marshall's opinion in Marbury v. Madison.Yea, but not before that. So I suppose that is a long time, but maybe not what the founders where expecting. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 it's just sad that we have to go through this process to get some kind of care for the uninsured. i often wonder what it would be like if food, shelter, medical care were the priority and not profit.
