Are you serious ? The comments of the President are at the very start of this whole conversation , the point of this thread, and you're asking where he said it ?
Ok, here it is...
" Ultimately, I am 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 ".
The ruling of the Court against O-Care would not be unprecedented, the law was not passed by a "strong majority " , and it wouldn't have mattered to the Court even if it were passed by a strong majority.
3 falsehoods , by the President, in just that once sentence.

Quote:Wrong.
Lawyers have a legally recognized monopoly, as such we are held by the Courts to ethical standards of their choosing, but generally recommended by nonpartisan legal scholars. We agree to abide by these standards in exchange for the right to practice law. This recognizes both the unique relationship and responsibility we have to both our clients and the Courts and is a centuries old tradition.
"Lawyers" may have to abide by a set of ethics, but the Supreme Court Justices do not. They are wholly unaccountable.
Also, we can look back on various decisions, and there are many that stand out as historically flawed, such as the Dred Scott decision and the Florida election results (in which the Supreme Court had no business insinuating itself). It is perfectly correct to criticize the Supreme Court. Without that criticism, their decisions would have no feedback whatsoever.

Rappy, you're now "layering" your signature with multiple defenses?
Yanno what?
If you think that's going to change anyone's mind here, you're a sad pathetic little man. Anyone who has had any extended discussion with you knows that you're a greedy deluded pimp for capitalism who would sell his mother for a few shekels. All they have to do is look up what you've said, like the quotes I've memorialized for you (above).

The florid 2000 election was the result of a biased Florida court. Had it done its job, the USSC would not have to have stepped in.

I'm for freedom, yes, but the rest of your comments are beyond inane and ridiculous. Those who are for capitalism aren't greedy. Those who want socialism are. You've taken my quotes completely out of context, edited them, much like what NBC did w/ the Zimmerman 911 audio. You're about as shameless and as unethical.

Thank you, when I asked for that I could not find it.
Now, as posting in the other thread, the Supreme Court has not over turned a major piece of federal legislation in over 80 years. So to do so now would be against modern precident.
Also, strong majority is subjective. The law did pass with 60 votes in the Senate. That is a super majority. You keep saying it does not matter, but keep bringing it up.
I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.

The court ruled that the way the recount was going violated idividuals rights, not that it was biased.

It passed by a mere 7 votes in the House, which has 435 members, not 100. But I'M not the one who brought it up in the 1st place, that was Obama. As you can plainly read.
Google or Bing are your friends. I merely typed in " Obama unprecedented " to find the quote. Give it a try sometime, if you're not caught up on current events.
And also... the entire drama and circus in the courts over Florida 2000 were nothing less than an absolute joke. All one needed to do was read the instructions on the ballot. Right there, the instructions were plain and direct, as to how to vote. If , at any time while still in the poling station, a voter felt they had a question or needed a new ballot, all they needed to do was ask. Claims of some getting confused, or mis-remembering a vote for 1 candidate while thinking they were voting for another, should have been completely ignored. Once you drop that ballot in the box, your vote is made. Take all the time you want to check things are accurate before so, fine. But try to bitch and phony up excuses for why you "may " have been duped or confused, and still voted the way you did... sorry. Tough cookies.

Holder's written explanation of Obama's seditionist threats against the Supreme Court will probably have boogers on it.

The President is a lawyer, he is bound by the rules.
As for the Court, they are not unaccountable...they can and have been impeached.
