Two terms stood out to us in that statement: "strong majority" and "unprecedented."
Both lies.

He simply said the law passed with a strong majority and overturning it would be unprecedented. Wrong and wrong. We rate the statement False.
Now, we have to remember WHO obama was talking to with these false comments....supporters and 2008 voters that don't have a clue about the constitutional and the role of SCOTUS and their history.
Seriously...just how do you think a bill becomes law? Do you really think they just sit around up there doing what's "right" because it's right? Politics is a dirty business, always has been, and it has ALWAYS involved horse trading and arm twisting. There's even a word to describe the process....it's called COMPROMISE.
I wish that once, just once, people who like to throw around the word "dictator" could live a few days under the rule of a REAL one. To compare the give and take of American politics to the rule of the likes of Manuel Noriega or Saddam Hussein or Idi Amin is laughable. You really don't have a clue.
Compromise,, Obama doesn't know the meaning of the word.. what has Obama ever compromised on with Obamacare?? He knew he had a bad bill and had to fix it to even try to get it passed ..and it is unconstitutional to mandate healthcare. Obama doesn't compromise. He blasts everyone before he will ever compromise. Obama is the divider and chief.
The U.S. Attorney response (pdf) that spanked back. Judge Smith can sputter all he likes. Eric Holder is mocking him and if Smith was trying to show up the president, he failed—badly.
How exactly is Obama "destroying the Constitution?"
Right now Holder is funneling guns into the enemies of the federal judges as we speak.
You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine.
Not talking opinion, FACT, when asked about the provisions of ACA almost every one was widely supported by the public, the mandate is the only provision with high negatives in most polls.
Of course, I do want all of these uninsured people to get insurance so I don't have to keep footing the bill for their treatment.
Where do you think the money will come from to pay for their treatment when they get insurance? IF they get insurance? Most people will be like me, and will rather pay the fine for NOT getting the insurance until I *NEED* it. It'll end up being MUCH less expensive than paying the high premiums for years. Certainly my two teen sons will do the same (as I will raise them to do), so decades will go by without them paying insurance premiums before they need it. So who will end up actually paying for our medical needs then? It'll be you and everyone else who is stupid enough to by the insurance instead of paying the fine.
Right now I don't have insurance. I do have pre-existing conditions, and I go to the doctor when I need to, for refills, blood tests, etc. And I pay cash for all of it. I would have LIKED to get Catostrophic insurance, but this POS legislation has made that impossible now with the pre-existing portion. So I'll wait to get insurance until after I know how the SC is going to rule. IF they let this POS stand, then I won't EVER buy insurance unless I get something I can't handle on my own. If they rule against it, like they should, then I"ll start looking for insurance again.
