Prophetic Pelosi: Nancy Declares Supremes Will Affirm ‘Ironclad’ Obamacare

You can add prophet to Nancy Pelosi’s resume.

The House Democratic leader is predicting the Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of the health care law by a 6-3 vote. Pelosi didn’t say how she thought individual justices would vote in her appearance Friday on “CBS This Morning,” just that they would.

“I think we are ironclad on the constitutionality of the bill. We believe in the Constitution. We believe in judicial review,” she said Friday.

“It would be really hard to see them roll back (provisions) that the public has become used to,” she said, adding that supporters should continue to “to herald what many of these things are, so they will have staying power.”

Still, the California Democrat said her party is “prepared for any eventuality,” including the possibility the high court may overturn some or all of the law.

The high court is expected to rule in the case in the next two weeks.

The former Speaker of the House also broached the economy in her interview. And she was sure to trumpet the party line on whose responsible for the the dismal numbers.

“The whole world knows that President Bush got us into this fix in the first place.”

      Very true, and in the case of Pelosi I have to ask one question:

      “Pelosi, what have you been smoking lately?”

      “To announce that there must be no criticism of the president,

      “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing
      the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that
      is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until
      it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates
      a country where everyone lives in fear.”
      — Harry S Truman
      If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall
      possess the highest seats in government, our country will
      stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.”
      — Samuel Adams Now that one really applies today
      “It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are
      made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous
      that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be
      understood.”

      he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow

      at pleasure.”

I don’t think SCOTUS takes kindly to bully tactics and they must know that having never read the bill, our fine legislators have provided many reasons to overturn.

      Regarding the economy, I know you might have forgotten, so let me remind you that you were Speaker of the House and Dreamworks Harry was Majority Leader in the Senate for the last two years of the Bush administration when the groundwork was laid for the you-know-what to hit the fan.

    Here’s my concern: Kagan should have recused herself from this case, but she did not. That shows a blatant disregard for fairly judging the law on its merits and Constitutionality. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has fed Pelosi some inside info that makes her and Obama confident that the law will be upheld. (The Lefties will say Thomas should have recused himself too because his wife worked for an anti-Obamacare group. Not the same thing as Kagan.)

      I can’t even think of any of the justices that tend to lean to the right of such decisions would even consider favoring this abomination. I figure this vote will be split with the usual four on the right and four on the left and Kennedy will be the swing vote as usual.
      Since Kennedy a few years ago stated that 0bama scares him and that he would not even consider retiring from the SCOTUS until that man is out of office. That sentiment gives me some comfort, but not enough. The thought of tossing only part of the law is still scary.

Pelosi, Reid, Carvel, Obama, and the rest of them realize that they are all a bunch of sniveling morons.
