At the SOTU, Obama rudely attacked the SCOTUS for knocking down a key provision of McCain-Feingold because it was... er um UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
There had been a written dissent (by JP Stevens), but Obama evidently wasn't satisfied with that and felt the need to directly attack the Court to their faces during his SOTU.
It was rude. It was unprecedented. It was hypocritical; (after all, Obama and the left are always saying that the Constitution is a living document; therefore it means whatever the Court says it means).
SO, WHY DID OBAMA DO IT!!?
Two reasons:
First, Obama and his new Senior White House Counsel Bob Bauer - who is nothing but a slimy election law lawyer - know that they will have to utilize every stinking crooked Chicago Machine trick in the book to hang-on this November. And Obama was pissed that the SCOTUS was leveling the playing field for Obama's opposition.
Second, Obama was trying to intimidate the SCOTUS with the expectation that if Obamacare passed, that it would go to the Court. Obama was drawing a line in the sand, trying to exert as much intimidating power as he could.
Too bad for Obama Alito wasn't having any of it - neither him or Roberts. Or Thomas or Scalia.
Which means, Obamacare will come down to Kennedy.
And there's non predicting how this man will ever vote.
In this case, there's only one correct way to vote: the mandate is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
WHY AM I SO SURE?
SIMPLE:
If a statute was good enough, then the anti-alcohol lobby would have only needed something like the Volstead Act and wouldn't have needed to pass or have passed the 18th Amendment in order to PROHIBIT the sale of alcohol. The 18th Amendment is what gave force to the Volstead Act.
THEREFORE: the Left needs to pass a constitutional amendment before Obamacare can be enforced.
It should take the court about 10 minutes to overturn Obamacare.
BWAHAHAHA!
