Re: Oral Arguments
Festus didn't read any of the thread because we said that a long time ago about Kennedy being the swing vote and why and I went into great detail about him and why he was appointed. Several of us including Galen also added Roberts as a swing vote.
We also mentioned how the commerce clause was important because the mandate had to fall within it to be legal so there is
a dispute there. Another words, it's the commerce clause that gives the congress the authority to inact the mandate and thus the broccoli example brought up by Roberts. Liberals
argue that it does while conservatives argue it doesn't and can
force us to buy anything like, well, broccoli.
We also said Kennedy left the back door open
on that point as Verilli got stronger at the end while adamantly sticking to his point and Kennedy seemed satisified with his answer. We also quoted Kennedy as saying this is unique legislation leaving the back door opened once again.
That said, OBY threatening him because he's not sure is a sure
way to lose him. Stupid idiot. Somebody like Kagan obviously
leaked the vote to him and he's so upset. Otherwise, he was be
happy as a lark and wouldn't say anything.
Festus missed many other points as NC mentioned.Last edited by AirFlacco; 04-04-2012 at 04:15 AM.
