That commie dirtbag Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was often photographed with the likes of Joseph Stalin, packed the Supreme Court with socialists, and it has never been the same. Today, the Supreme Court refused an appeal from Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to rule on the constitutionality of President Obama’s health care reform. Apparently they all signed off on this. Why didn’t Antonin Scalia pull out his rifle, shoot the other justices, and overturn the law with a swig of whiskey and a dash of the pen? He must truly be a socialist, and becoming a “conservative” jurist was just a plot by Obama’s grandparents to get him on the Court so he could pass the little Kenyan baby’s socialist laws.
The Supreme Court rejected a call Monday from Virginia’s attorney general to depart from its usual practice and put review of the health care law on a fast track. Instead, judicial review of President Barack Obama’s signature legislation will continue in federal appeals courts. [...]
Only rarely, in wartime or a constitutional crisis, does the court step into a legal fight before the issues are aired in appellate courts. Hearings already are scheduled in May and June in three appeals courts.
Why does the Supreme Court want to destroy the lives of sick Americans by improving their access to medical care? Don’t they see this (and not people without health insurance sitting in the loading dock of a hospital with bones protruding out of their skin) is a true emergency? If socialism is allowed to take hold in the coming weeks, days, or even seconds, it could cost, like, money or something. How dare the Supreme Court let the government start spending on health care?

Judicial activism!
Looks like the Koch Bruddahs missed a payment.
Corporate handlers must have phoned in the instructions.
This passes as a liberal "win" these days!!
Some liberal win – now they'll hear the case and throw out the health care law next summer, right before the republican convention.
I think the real reason they want this fast tracked, is that want the Supremes to rule on this before some of the benefits start kicking in and people realize that they've been lied to for the last two years.
Judicial inactivism!
Ordinarily they would do this, but even the Supremes think that Cuccinelli is a Class 1-A douchenozzle, so fuck him.
Scalia and Thomas are paying attention to judicial precedent even at the cost of FREEDUMB? Mind = Blown.
They'll hold the good faith and credit of U.S. America hostage to repeal
ObamaRomneyCare. Why do Republican's hate America, (ns)?I believe the entire charade was taken on just so Cuccinelli could find a way to get fucked in the ass without drawing the suspicions of his wife. Mission Accomplised, Ken (Cuccinelli)!
Virginia is for lovers.
Virginia Thomas?
You first bro.
i don't think Cuccinelli likes that idea: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRxkxQMyD...
And there goes my coffee all over my macbook.
That's the "I wouldn't eff her with YOUR dictum" look. Priceless.
Well, this day is turning out very well, I went to the gym , got hit on by a charming toothless gentleman, am now home enjoying a few squares of Green & Black's organic chocolate and a cup of coffee and now this.
One lovely lady's charming toothless gentleman is another GOP congressman's treasure.
Possibly not in this case, he was sllightly meth-addled and a nigra, if you will.
meth-addled
So, you're thinking more of a conservative televangelist's type than a GOP congressman's, then?
Why do they even bother with these worthless lower courts, always overturning each other, passing the buck up one notch in the system? The supremes always get to have the final say in the end.
I've got this parking ticket I'm contesting; I want to be able to look Scalia in the eye and say, "Look Tony, you know, and I know this is bullshit, right? You can fix this for me, right? Justice delayed is justice denied!" And maybe slip him a tenner.
I hope they don't take this kind of cavalier attitude with truth and goodness when Trumps "Where's the Birf Sertifikut" case asks for a fast-track.
I want to say something like 'even a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in awhile' but I can't help thinking there's a nefarious reason behind this. Since when do Thomas, Scalia and Roberts care about precedent?
Yeah, we all think Barry is playing 7-dimensional chess, but I think this is but a small bit of smokescreen for the larger, America-destroying scheme the Supremes are cooking up.
They saw what happened when the fast-tracked Bush v. Gore. If, this time, the Conservatives on the Court allow equally shallow Conservatives (Henry Hudson, that guy in Florida, et. al.) invalidate the law, once it makes it to the SCROTUS, there will be ample reason to overturn for once & all.
This is nothing other than the Supremes saying, "folow the rules." The shit hits the fan when the 9th Circuit decides in favor of 'Obama Care' and the 5th Circuit decids against it.
Well, this might be a real kick in the Trucknutz for Teabagger Nation. On the other hand, I expect a repeat of the tried and true 5-4 ideological split that gave us Citizens United and turned this country into a first-rate banana republic.
i think we're more like second or third rate banana republics.
whycome you hate Merika? we're eksepshunal.
You have the best and snappiest comments, Poncho.
But yes, we have no bananas. Ergo: 2nd rate.
Why come you got no tattoo?
Ah the wonders of Republican economics. Stall the benifits of the Patient Protection and Afordable Care Act until it gets heard by the Supremes, but stop collecting that higher tax on the well off even though the budget still hasn't been passed.
Maybe this won't be such a bad week after all…now if we could just get Ken to do something about that downfisting douchebag…
How about the Kenyan Usurper who's occupying the no-longer-White House?
That is to say, did the 13th thru 15th amendments supersede the 3/5 Compromise (which is maintained within the original Articles of the Constitution)? If not, while the not-ever-whites may have been granted the vote, they still count for purposes of census & vote as 3/5, yes. So, Barack, even if eligible (note: not really; not natural-born citizen), did not in fact draw more votes than Panamanian strong-man Juan Macane.
They don't give a shit about precedent – health care reform needs to remain unresolved until after the 2012 elections, so it can be a horse for the Repubs to flog, like abortion.
"Only rarely, in wartime or a constitutional crisis, does the court step into a legal fight before the issues are aired in appellate courts."
I think the bolshevization of America counts as a 'constitutional crisis' don't you.
Someday people will wonder why/how "Obamacare" was used in a derogatory fashion.
Mittens is already in trouble, since the overwhelming thought process is, how will he run against Obamacare when he signed Romneycare into law in Massachusetts.
Oh noes! Now let's see if Clarence T and Antonin get snubbed from this years Limbaugh BBQ and Boy Bash.
"He must truly be a socialist, and becoming a “conservative” jurist was just a plot by Obama’s grandparents to get him on the Court so he could pass the little Kenyan baby’s socialist laws."
I've heard rumors that a Nairobi news paper had a suspicious birth announcement in 1936. Allegedly it read: "Born: A. Scalia, Healthy baby boy, 3ft 5in, 135 lbs. Totally not a socialist, no inclination towards empathy."
But already has a hairy back.
One of the Great Apes.
(Is this racist against Blacks, Italians, or both? Is Undead Roy Campanella going to eat my brains?)
If they allow americans some access to "Obamacare", then it'll hurt that much more when it's yanked away later.
Evil bastards.
WOW! God Damn activist judge Clarence Thomas.
He won't be getting any of the lusciuous Ginni poontang anytime soon.
Their favorite position is the 5-4 split.
You know, I am all in favour of the interracial hurly-bury of the chaise-longue, except in their case.
I am gong to take a bath soon and will be savoring a plenty.
Pixxx or GTFO!
Bunga Bunga.
No shit. I don't even want to admit how much we spent to get some ruptured discs repaired in our dog's back.
No matter how partisan its members, the Supreme Court always rules unanimously when someone tries to fuck with the majesty and authority of the judicial branch. You try to cut in line? No ruling for you!
Cuccinelli said he asked for speedy review to end "crippling and costly uncertainty" about the law.
Sounds like somebody's getting a mite tired of doing the whole pro bono publico gig.
But you were so sweet, and that was a good line “Your eyes are so unusual” you were fairly high and yours were pretty unusual as welll.
So does he just pretend to pee on everything?
The piss IS still real.
Those activist judges aren't even 'mericans! I demand the birf certificates! Goddamn commie pinko scum sucking jizz covered bastards next thing ya know the 'nigras' will be voting!
Neuticles!
Newticles.
Yep thats them. The wife said its whats best for the dog.
(what?)
I wanted those for my cat, Neville, because he had such fantastically enormous nuts , before he was neutered, but MrLimeylizzie refused.
"Fantastically Enormous Nuts" is my new pretend GWAR-tribute band name.
Excellent. I was serously sad when he had to be neutered, because his balls were nearly as big as my husband's, but covered in ginger fur.
You know what OTHER English house-pet named Neville had his nuts pwnd?!
“There will be empty testicle sacs in our time”
I hope she never tells you that they're best for you, as well!
Your lips to God's ears.
They need some free time to take in Atlas Shrugged.
Of course it's an emergency. It's just like that old Star Trek episode. Joan Collins will get access to health care, and not die, and so cause our country to fall to the Nazis or something.
If the Supreme Court won't step up to the plate, we'll have to take matters into our own hands. If you ever run into someone whose life was saved by government health care, push them in front of a truck. It's the only way to be sure.
We needz moar judicial redactivism
(Wringing hands) First, we'll set up the death panels…
Mmmmmm….
A photographer with a penchant for testicles? Damn, did I major in the wrong thing in college!
You know the worst thing? DISABLED ORPHANS. The true menace in society.
See my earlier comment.
Toothless organic chocolate Ginni poontang?
Ewwwww. Yep that's the one
I'm confused. Isn't the spectacle of a hulking, glowering, black-robed negro firmly seated atop the broad, pale bench, and relentlessly pounding his cruel and ponderous gavel thereupon, one of the pivotal scenes from "The Birth Of A Nation"?
"Well if this doesn't qualify as a constitutional crisis what does? "
Little orphan kids wearing new clothing instead of the worn holey rags more appropriate to their status.*
*Status = God must be punishing you for something or you wouldn't be in dire straits, therefore we are only carrying out God's will in doing what we can to ensure that you understand how worthless you are.
It's an odd-numbered day, so Anthony Kennedy was feeling moderating.
The Supremes were much better before Diana Ross demanded top billing.
obv, this is an insult to sarah palin.
If you would like to be unreasonably vicious and cruel beyond measure to this guy I'll let you drop my two twenty-something daughters at his office. Let HIM deal with them for while.
Ken Cuccinelli can now go back to harassing scientists for claiming the earth is older than 6,000 years.
Q: Why do people think too much about dog testicles?
A: Because they can.

Organizers of the 28th annual Turkey Testicle Festival in Illinois said more than 1,000 pounds of fowl genitalsI bet I saw about 1,000 pounds of foul genitals during my sluttier days.
Cuccinelli petitioned the Supremes….and….Scalia shrugged, Alito said not true and Thomas wondered where the hell his Coke had gotten off to.
By the time the Supreme Court rules on the thing, we'll all be dead anyway. /fixed
I dunno — I thought it might be kind of cool to implant something musical, finger cymbals or something that would provide a nice chime when the dog ran. Sadly, nobody ever listened to my ideas.
Cuccinelli/ somebody else 2012!
Access for hoverounds, however–critical to FREEDUMB! It's a fine line.
Eff…meant to reply to the original comment. No offense to your doubtless charming establishment.
Ah yes, the Cooch! Even more annoying and smug than Virginia's smug-ass governor.
"you're trying to
seduce meinduce me to vomit, Mrs. Thomas."And what in the hell went wrong with evolution that men's balls are not covered in ginger fur?
Speak for yourself baldy.
I am happy to not have balls.
