HEALTHCARE Reform Ruling Will Be The GOP’s OCTOBER SURPRISE

[Segami]

" The current composition of the United States Supreme Court allows the institution to influence the 2012 Presidential election as much as the court influenced the 2000 election. Since Citizens United ruling came down, we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt that this court is corporatist in composition and leans far right in it’s rulings. The petition filed by Thomas More Law Center, et al, Petitioners v. Barack H. Obama President Of The United States, et al was docketed on July 28th 2011. The court doesn’t return to session until October of 2011 where by they will determine the schedule of cases heard. This is where political strategy comes into play. The court will not hear this case until they can opine on it as close to the election of 2012 as possible.



The reason I bring this up is because of this video by CNBC where an investor talks about what he sees moving the markets in the coming year:

After discussing the 2012 budget and the Republican primary, he mentioned the Summer of 2012 being approximately when SCOTUS delivers it’s decision on the health reform law. A decision announcement in late August or September will most definitely hurt the Obama campaign, if it is found unconstitutional. Which it very well could be.

( see Justice Thomas) http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/thomas_recuse/index2.html



A 5-4 decision will most likely be the outcome. Justice Kennedy could be the deciding factor.



I can see the commercials now, President Obama looking evil with ominous music in the background, sneaking around in backrooms, then down comes the SCOTUS gavel on the health reform bill leaving red inked stamp reading “unconstitutional”

1. It could also have a different effect

It could wake voters up as to the makeup of the Supreme Court, and just how important it is to determine who will be replacing the next Justices who are going to be retiring.

2. Well, whenever the verdict comes down,

I hope that they do rule the mandate to be unconstitutional. You shouldn't be forced to by a product, from a private company, simply as a condition of living in this country.

3. We'll know more on November 10, 2011.

That is the deadline for the filing of this appeal to the Supreme Court. Until we see the petition, we have no way of knowing how this will proceed or what issue(s) is/are on appeal. We don't yet know which side is going to appeal the case, or on what grounds.

I think I'll hold off on prognosticating on this one.

4. it IS unconstitutional

5. The Remancipation Proclamation is the surprise. They had to pass that bill

for us to find out what is in it. But now that we know what they put in it, what do we do?
