Leaked Emails Reveals Clinton Campaign Plotted Supreme Court Threat Over Obamacare

[ProgSpear]

Remember back in 2012 when the Supreme Court narrowly upheld the Obamacare mandate with a 5-4 decision but only after Judge Roberts, a Bush appointee, seemingly parted with his conservative counterparts on the bench to effectively, single-handedly preserve perhaps the most destructive piece of legislation in American history (if not, we wrote about it here)? Many people were shocked by Judge Roberts' decision and subsequently alleged that it was driven more by politics than his interpretation of the Constitution.

Turns out those people were proven right today as a new Podesta email confirms that the Obama administration applied political pressure on Roberts to sway his decision: "it was pretty critical that the President threw the gauntlet down last time on the Court...that was vital to scaring Roberts off."

and the world keeps turning....the sheep keep running....the blind, deaf and dumb (and idiotic to ensure we cover the kind of DUMB I'm talking about) will vote (several times) next month....

I always wondered what type of dirt they have on Roberts.

The lifetime appointment is supposed to insulate SCOTUS from political pressure.

I guess it doesn't work when one side acts like the goon squad from the sopranos.

these are the very things that the left insults the right for when they make these statements. That is their tactic.
