Tomorrow will be a big day for the Obama administration on two fronts.
The Supreme Court will finally release the opinion on the Affordable Car Act, aka Obamacare. What direction will this court take? I have to wonder what the reaction would have beem in a 24-hour news cycle to the Mioranda decision. Nevertheless, the court will uphols it or strike it all down, or somewhere in the middle. Yes, I'm taking a strong stand.
My opinion, most of it will be struck down, at least the mandate. That is the heart of ACA and without it the funding mechanism is gone. If anyone reviewed the transcripts or heard the audio tapes of the oral arguments, it was reasonably apparent that many of the Justices did not concur with the Administration's case. The government lawyer did not seem ready for argument and was barely understandable in some of his responses. The Administration's talking points did not go well with the Justices.
Starting very early tomorrow, pundits, anchors, talk radio hots and any number of people with an opinion will begin to spin what will happen. After the decision, the spin and caterwauling will be non-stop until the election. It will be insane. No true information will get through about the decision. Depending on the outcome, each side will say the opinion is wrong. The Democrats and the Obama campaign have various plans including vilifying the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court has been vilified before by this and previous administrations. FDR tried to expand the court in order to pack it full of his cronies. Obama would like to abolish it.
The decision is just the first round in tomorrow's media circus.
The House is expected to vote on a contempt citation for AG Eric Holder. Holder has been stonewalling Congress and likely instructed lower level deputies to lie to Congress. The Feb 2011 letter to Sen Grassley demonstrates as much.
It is likely many democrats will vote 'yes' for contempt. Will a successful contempt vote mean Holder is gone? Obama will never ask him to resign and will do everything to protect him. Holder knows too many of Obama's secrets to be let loose.
So, strap yourself in and enjoy the circus. These clowns are really scary.
