Speaking of the Constitution being simple–I think a lot of the “battlespace prep” we are seeing right before the ObamaCare decision is an attempt to prevent further Commerce Clause restrictions, because the Left knows the entire ediface could collapse, once a precedent is set that says there are in fact limits. It is bullying, but for future cases, not ObamaCare.
Presumably, they will aso go nuclear on any President Romney S.C. picks, in a way the GOP does not, in an effort to maintain functional control of the court.
If the GOP does not fight them to the best of its ability and voter’s will then it will be superseded, because bullying is in fact the right word, and bullies really shouldn’t be getting their way on a routine basis in America. The GOP continually wastes potential majority after majority on issue after issue because it either doesn’t have the skill to connect with the people to make its case, or the will.
