What's It Worth?

Supreme Court response to Obama scoulding.

Uploaded on March 14, 2010

Last January in his State of the Union address Mr. Obama criticized the Supreme Court openly in front of congress and the nation for their decision regarding campaign money for candidates in "Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission". During Obama's speech deriding the Court, Justice Samuel Alito was seen silently mouthing the words "simply not true". Justice Alito's words have been proven to be true. The President mischaracterized what the Supreme Court had said in their 5-4 decision. Today Chief Justice Roberts, after an appropriate period of time, made this statement, "the image of having the members of one branch of government standing up literally surrounding the Supreme Court, cheering and hollering while the Court-according to the requirements of protocol-has to sit there expressionless, I think is very troubling".

Should Chief Justice Roberts have gone further with his statement and addressed the lie by the President or was his statement strong enough?

I think Chief Justice Roberts showed very proper decorum and restraint, considering he must have still been boiling inside. obummer is the most spoiled, narcissistic, and prevaricating idiot that the American People have ever had the misfortune to get as a President. It is very hard to show respect for the office when the officeholder has shown repeatedly that he is beneath contempt.

I think Justice Roberts showed remarkable restraint and a lot of class in not lowering himself to the level of the President and the Democratic majority in Congress by quibbling over the issue.
He went quite far enough in addressing the troubling aspect of being subjected to boorish behavior while bound by protocol to sit as a captive audience surrounded by yahoos.

He acted as a statesman not as a politician, in other words he knows Obama whines and bickers and generally acts like a spoiled child and he combats those actions with the actions of a mature adult.

Insulting and alienating honorable people in a public setting formerly reserved for positive uplifting discourse? I guess Obama Bin Lyin did learn something while sitting in Rev. Wright's church.

The exchange was unfortunate, and of poor decorum by both parties, but Nobama instigated it by publicly undermining The SUPREME Court on such a grand stage, and he is the one with egg on his face. Alito does not need re-elected, or reappointed in his case. Obama was just politicizing the court's decision, which is final. There was one idiot in the the exchange, and he wasn't speaking, not out loud at least.

I think no response would have been appropriate. It's not the Supreme Courts job to stoop as low as political rhetoric or banter. The Dems and BO made a fool of themselves. That said enough.
