+6They are biased in everything they decide. What is the point of even having them review cases when they do that? They are not supposed to be political at all. Citizens United was the worst decision they made in recent history. Obama said that at his state of the union and now we see that is so very true.
Progressives believe that the Constitution was only relevant to the time, they consider it a restraint on their ability to change with society. Progressives do not believe in the Declaration of Independence, especially that our rights come solely from our Creator. They've been quite open about what they believe if you bothered to read their writings. Woodrow Wilson openly wrote about his disdain for the Constitution. FDR tried to pack the Supreme Court with like-minded justices to get what he wanted.
The key to making the Constitution an "organic document" comes in every majority decision. These are not simply about the current decision, they pack them with phrases to take the concept to the next level. That's how they built up Roe v Wade, that's how they made a simple phrase "wall of separation" into something people believe was part of the original intent.
The activists are judges who take the original intent, stretch it as far as it will go and then claim it's Constitutional. The idea that the strict constructions are deviating from original intent is absurd and ridiculous.
After Jefferson's separation letter future justices have all taken that to heart as it should be to prevent a theocracy.
It wasn't after Jefferson wrote the letter, it was 100 years later when it was used by justices. History shows what our Founders believed and to use a half sentence from a private letter from one Founder is the activism that I'm speaking of. To continue to repeat what it was falsely is either activism or intellectual laziness, I assume the first.
I don't think your opinions are based on any historical facts, just modern talking points and feelings.
You totally miss the point that it's still completely relevant, it's about human nature and government. It is not impeding progress.
I did not hear the president trash America on foreign soil. He was honest about any shortcomings we face though. Something the GOP never is.
The trashing I was speaking of was Ginsburg but certainly Obama has been guilty of it on numerous occasions.
Should Kagen recuse herself?
NO ACA, and we go back to all the health insurance companies abuses.
Go look at cosmetic surgery, where the consumer always pays themselves, and see how reasonable it is compared to other surgery.
There are so many things fundamentally wrong with Obamacare, besides being unConstitutional, that we can't even begin to discuss it. You want government out of your uterus but you've got no problem with involving them in every aspect of your medical care and even if you get to live...unreal!
If cosmetic surgery is done in the hospital it is additionally as expensive. Hospitals and doctors inflate their charges in order to get 1/3 back from insurance, but then dun the uninsured for the entire inflated bill. 66% of bankruptcies now are due to medical bills. What are you whining about as your insurance isn't going to change? Premiums and co-pays have been going up for years before the ACA was passed, and will continue if the ACA is repealed. Inflated health care costs need to be curbed, as ours are higher than any other country.
Who will come up with the new drugs and cures when our private industries are gone?
Next, your statistic about medical bankruptcies is just plain wrong. Funny, Canada has as many medical bankruptcies as the US but they have universal healthcare.

If health insurance gets 30 million more customers they will make off like bandits evening following some fair rules.
Yes, premiums will go up regardless of the decision, and the companies just have an excuse now, but many companies are also asking their employees to pay more of the coverage too.
Canada doesn't have as much medical equipment, some counties in Florida have more MRI machines than all of a province in Canada. Natasha Richardson died because they didn't have a CT Scan and then didn't have a medical helicopter.
Competition is critical to everything, including medical. Litigation has definitely driven up the cost of medical in America. We practice cover your ass medicine with people who don't care how much things cost. That by itself is a prescription for rising costs.
If you bump your head and they don't do a CT scan and something happens, you're a freaking millionaire. They should say, this can happen, this is how much this costs and if it was coming directly out of your pocket you'd evaluate how badly you thought you bumped your head or would wait and see if you had any symptoms. But, since you're not paying for it...why the hell not, it's prudent right?
My ex-husband is an ER physician and I worked in one for six years and I assure you that along with people clogging up the ER's that don't belong there, again because it doesn't matter to them economically, drive up costs to ...

Your Obamacare isn't even about healthcare, it's as much about building a structure of administrative control than anything. Control my health and you OWN ME.
The right has more corporatist billionaires than the left ready to run the country with the GOP if they can get puppet Romney installed.
