...“You know what the Democrats are going to say -- and it is completely justified: ‘We tried, we did something, go see a 5-4 Supreme Court majority,’” Carville said on CNN Tuesday. “The public has these guys figured out. Our polls show that half think this whole thing is political. Just as a professional Democrat, there’s nothing better to me than overturning this thing 5-4 and then the Republican Party will own the health care system for the foreseeable future. And I really believe that. That is not spin."
Carville's statements edge closer to how the Left is preparing to respond if the court strikes down Obamacare. They will not stop at blaming Republicans for higher insurance premiums. They are going to try to demonize the Supreme Court itself as simply a tool of the heartless Right....
Upholding the Constitution's deliberately-written restrictions on the Central Government is not "political," nor "heartless". It's what judges and justices are sworn to do.
Problem is, the commerce clause has been perverted in it's use for some time. I doubt it'll EVER get back to it's original intent.
