the White House is taking health reform straight to Supreme Court

The Obama administration has not petitioned for rehearing after the 11th Circuit struck down Obamacare, paving the way for an appeal to go straight to the Supreme Court. Legal theorists are split as to reasons, and so are Freepers.

lovesdogs has found the secret plan:

If you dig deep into the comments, you find a little nugget about oboycare that might put a bite on paychecks prior the election that the regime might want to avoid, even up to and including the scuttling of their flagship cause

verga knows the legal issues will take a back seat to Chief Justice Robert's revenge!

Chief Justice Roberst has an axe to grind over the State of the Union speech. Since the 11th has already ruled against it. Roberst can just ignore obozo andnot take it up. If on the other hand he was 100% dertain of Kennedy’s vote then he would take it up jsut to slap obozo

Safrguns sees Obama paving the way to reelection or martial law - Obama's endgame!

Obama knows that his health care bill is doomed to fail one way or another... there is no way to avoid it.
He also knows it is the one key element which is choking this economy to a much quicker death than he anticipated.
It is my belief that Obama is prepared to lose in the Supreme Court to collect on the resulting bounty of an economy bursting back to life just before the election.
If however the Supreme Court rules in his favor, there will be an outcry across this country the likes that nobody has seen in their lifetimes. Such a ruling to uphold Obamacare could easily throw us over the edge of the cliff, giving Obama everything he needs to intall martial law and complete his “Fundamental Transformation”.
Such a scenario could even delay or suspend the 2012 elections.
This is easy... its Obama’s end game. A win - win for him

Future Useless Eater thinks the Court upholding the status quo would mean we're in a dictatorship. A secret dictatorship.

ObamaCare granted SO MANY NEW HIDDEN POWERS to the various cabinet 'secretaries' (who all report to the president), that we will essentially have a dictatorship at that point.
Bonus: read the thread for Freepers getting hilariously tangled in Federal Appellate procedure when they ask what would happen if the Supreme Court doesn't take up the case.

  1. Oozy is oddly mystified as to why Obama is jumping to the Supreme Court to ram the ever unpopular ObamaCare through:

    "The Obama administration has not petitioned for rehearing after the 11th Circuit struck down Obamacare, paving the way for an appeal to go straight to the Supreme Court. Legal theorists are split as to reasons,"

    --> The answer is simple, when you have stacked the court with judges like Sotomayor who has had 60% of her decisions reversed. Then Kagan who was never even a judge and until just before her nomination had never even argued a case before, it's not really that hard to see why he is doing it, even to a lib.

  2. 1. 2 judges out of nine (and liberals replacing liberals to boot) do not a stacking make.

    2. 60% cases reversed on appeal is about right - the Supreme Court reverses most of the cases it takes.

    3. Kagan was soliciter general, I daresay she's argued cases.

    4. Both justices seem to be up to the job by All accounts. So your dredging up of partisan attempts to torpedo their nomination seem rather irrelevant.

  3. 3. "Kagan was soliciter general, I daresay she's argued cases."

    You dare say wrong:

  4. ...

    From the linked article:

    "Her courtroom experience consists of the six cases she has argued in the last 14 months as solicitor general, the government's top lawyer before the high court."
