If the Individual Mandate is thrown out then this may be the moment when Obama 'acted stupidly'. He attacked the wrong people, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. They are his peers not his subordinates. The Chief Justice is also the one that presides over impeachment proceedings in the Senate.

A Free People?
In common law and statutory law a contract entered into under duress is not a valid contract. If the government mandates that a citizen enter into a contract with a private entity under threat of a penalty then that contract was made under duress. Some of you wanted fundamental transformation and you got it.
What's next? Because transportation effects all of us and is interstate commerce could Congress pass a law, using this as precedence,that mandates you buy an electric car or pay a fine? You bet. Where does it end? Well... stop kidding yourself about being a free people is a good beginning.

Hostage Crisis
CBS Iranian Hostage Release-CBS Evening News, 1/20/1981
Today we have a repeat of history. The exception is that the regime holding the 19 hostages were supported by Democrats and the Obama Administration. So what will be done about it?
1. Democrats have little in the way of popular policy achievements to run on and are having to dig deep to come up with monumental successes.
A. They echo the meme that it was Obama that got Bin Laden. It is more accurate to say that he was President when the decades long effort of our security apparatus and the diligent training of our military forces were ready to act when the target presented itself. The democrats call the no-brained decision to kill Bin Laden a gutsy call.
B. Our Seal Team was able to rescue two hostages from Somalia and credit is given, once again, to Obama.
C. He is given credit for ending the war in Iraq when he had nothing to do with the agreement on the withdrawal date ratified before he ever took office.
Obama also faces the stigma of being compared to Jimmy Carter. A hostage crisis now, with this build up as a great and decisive military leader may now come back to haunt him and his zealot followers. So what does he do?
A. Egypt isn't Somalia. It is a large country with a fairly established social order. Dropping in and snatching nineteen hostages from the Egyptian military would actually be a gutsy call given the tentative nature of our relations with an unstable government. The failure of a Carter rescue attempt would weigh heavily in a re-election year.
B. He can't do nothing until after the election so he has to act.
C. Diplomacy may work especially if Egypt needs funding. But that takes time.
D. Every day this goes on will only enhance the Obama/Carter comparison.
E. After thirty three years this President stills thinks negotiation is the correct path to reign in Iranian nuclear ambitions. This notion borders on absurdity and naivete.
What's a small man to do? Blame the Seals if a rescue mission fails. Blame Bush, the Congress?
Mr. Obama, you need to live up to your followers delusions.

How Obama Got Elected... Interviews With Obama Voters
I can't help but wonder how many of these people spout the typical liberal drivel about how conservatives are uneducated and march to the orders of their leaders. Projection? Or maybe it is human nature to see your faults in other people but not in yourself. I can't help but chuckle when they come on with their self-assumed intellectual superiority. I have friends like this and sometimes I feel towards them as I would a sibling with a mental disability, hard to get too upset because they simpy can't help it, nor can I help them.
