AND NOW, THE EMPEROR TRULY DOES REIGN

SPECIAL POST

I'm not going to add much to the uproar and the flack over yesterday's Supreme Court decision; pretty much everything I would say against the decision is being quite adequately said.  What I have to say will, I hope, give you pause to think. 

If you remember correctly, about a month ago Obama came out and warned the Supreme Court that they'd better damned-well do the "right thing" about the decision.  And, if you remember correctly, he came out and warned the Court when they made their first decision upholding ObamaCare.  I suggest to you that in both instances word reached the White House that the rulings were coming down against his prized health care; that's what prompted him to issue his pointed and very public warnings. 

I further suggest to you that those warnings caused Chief Justice John Roberts to change his vote and that, my friend, explains the total stretch of legal imagination involved in the reasoning and majority opinions of both cases.  

Did the Supreme Court do exactly what Obama ordered it to do? 

Late on the day before, we learned that the I.R.S. had destroyed backup tapes of I.R.S. computers which contained copies of Lois Lerner's emails regarding the targeting of Tea Party and other conservative groups.  They did that after Congress had subpoenaed them, and now have the audacity to say that those who committed the act were doing "routine" erasing of backups and that they didn't know about the subpoenas.  Those emails could well have been between Lerner and the White House.  Those who "inadvertently" destroyed the tapes didn't know... every other citizen in the country knew about those subpoenas, but they didn't know. 

Did, Koskinen and the I.R.S. do exactly what Obama's White House ordered them to do? 

And now, there's Congress.  The Republicans have had almost six years to come up with their own version of a new national health care act, but they haven't.  They are quick to say they have "several" available, but yet have not publicly aired even one of them.  And, we have the fast-track international trade bills which are just as bad for this country, if not worse than ObamaCare; although the country is against the trade bills, Congress got them passed... and nobody has read them. 

Did both Houses of Congress and both political parties do exactly what Obama ordered them to do? 

Obama obviously controls the Supreme Court, the I.R.S. and the Congress.  And there's not a damned thing you or the rest of America are willing to do about it? 

Yes, the Emperor truly does reign.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, patriotically submitted.
