Team Obama tells Supreme Court to Stay Away From Health Care Challege
FOX News
The Obama administration told the Supreme Court on Monday night it should stay away from a high-profile challenge to the 2010 health care law until after a lower court has had a chance to review the case.
Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal wrote, “there is no basis for short-circuiting the normal course of appellate review.” Katyal also says Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s case is problematic because he may lack sufficient standing to challenge the health care law.
The Supreme Court normally takes cases only after they’ve been reviewed at least once by appellate judges. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli says that’s not appropriate in this instance.
In his filing last month, Cuccinelli said there’s a “palpable consensus” that the high court will ultimately have to pass judgment on the merits of President Obama’s health care law and should do so without delay. Furthermore, Cuccinelli argues that his case involves “pure issues of constitutional law” that appellate judges on the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals will be unable to definitively resolve.
Katyal says there is no question that the case is of great public importance but uses the language of the court’s own rules to say it is not “one of the rare cases that justifies deviation from normal appellate practice and require[s] immediate determination in this court.” Katyal points out that the Virginia case and several others are already in the pipeline and little time may be saved if the court were to jump in now.

He sure has a lot of nerve!!!! The Supreme Court , the very same court obama slammed at his past State of the Union Address that time. Obama truly despises the Rule of Law. Since when does the President have the right to tell the Supreme Court what to do?
I would LOVE to see the Supreme Court also say oh really Obama, tell you what we will not only check out YOUR socialized medicine obamacare but we are also going to rule on your eligibility.
Ring…ring….ring….calling obama…..it has already been ruled unconstitutional by the lower court. Federal Judge Roger Vinson, who is right here in Florida , has already ruled Obamacare unconstitutional. He is the second Federal Judge to do so. Our new Governor Rick Scott, has thrown the weight of his office behind it too.
The Supreme Court needs to tell Dcitator obama to go pound sand. Obama needs to understand that government that serves United States of America works nothing like the third world republics that he idolizes.
Hey, EVERYONE wants to have their cake and eat it too. A problem here is that most understand this is not possible. Our President appears to not get this. Oh, what the heck. Might as well go for it. Besides, if President Obama can delay the ruling on the health care bill, then it becomes more established as law. It is like attempting to fire government employees. Once our government sets something up, getting rid of it is impossible. (The TVA is another good example)
I am sure that the SCOTUS will be thinking of obama’s attitude toward them as they rule on some of his programs. His attitude of disdain toward them has to have repercussions. Even though he has appointed what are probably the two most liberal judges in SCOTUS history, the majority of the court cannot be happy with obama’s attitude toward the court.
If only.
The may rule on the socialist medicine issue, but don’t hold your breath on the eligibility thing.
If the people of this country are dragging their feet as they are, what makes anyone think the SCOTUS would be any different?
Should the high court be so inclined, the correct rulings are, of course, that Oblahmacare is in fact unconstitutional, as there is no authority granted to the US government in any entity to be engaging in such matters; and that Mr. Obama is not eligible, which ruling would have to be made, or else to reverse the four cases on natural born citizenship already decided by the SCOTUS.

I am so looking forward to the executions following the treason convictions. Hell, I’ll even go out and buy a 72″ plasma to get a better view, just for the occasion.
I really don’t think our Leader or Feuhrer if you gets much of anything. Japan is in the death throes of one of the worst Earthquakes and this moron obama is going to Rio, on our dime. But Japan being our number 2 creditor, if they decide they need a big infusion of money and they call in their marker, we are in deep shit. Our debt will not be paid on in our lifetimes or our great grand childrens lifetime.
Obama gets shit all this sob knows how to do is start riots and create hate and discontent and spend our money on Useless stimulus packages that benefit him. And the Republican Leadership is doing nothing but going through the motions of doing any budget cutting. 100 Billion, when compared to our debt this is chump change about 7% overall.
Right now the supreme court is fairly autonomous, and obama pissed them off with his first state of the Union show. They will review it and on the elegibility issue a couple of states have already apporved an Eligilbility Law, specially designed for obama.
Thank you everyone so much.
He sure has a lot of never to say and want this. He just keeps doing things each day that tick me off. augh!
