He. Called. The. Motherfuckers. Out.

[Stinky The Clown]

The Supremes.

For me, the best line of his speech.

He called the motherfuckers out.

[Raven]

1. Talk.Is.Cheap.

[johnfunk]

6. Not. In. This. Case. They. Looked. Shocked.

[MadMaddie]

9. This is a very rare occurance

This was a slap to the justices, I don't think they have ever been called out.

[MrMickeysMom]

36. It's about time to do it, too.

I imagine if it gets traction, there will be some pretty good legislation battles to counter it.

[Individualist]

21. +1

[saltpoint]

35. It is, but forceful cerebral talk is rare, especially in that venue, and we

witnessed a man with a Constitutional law bent spank the 5 pro-corporate pigs on the High Court.

Give due what is earned and good.

[cali]

39. well, cliches like that one are always and ever cheap

talk is not necessarily cheap. It all depends.

[nc4bo]

2. They earned every word of it. nt

[Binka]

Fuck Yeah! n/t

[CherokeeDem]

3. Yes, he did!!!

I love this man!!!

[sandnsea]

4. Hang on, it gets better n/t

[Coexist]

5. stellar bit, that.

[JanMichael]

7. And. What. Will. Come. Of. It.?

Will. Anything. Change?

I. Doubt. It.

[Hamlette]

19. exactly what the fuck do you think obama can do about it?

Jesus! Really. You think Obama can somehow wave a magic wand and change a decision from the fucking supreme court of the US?????

They found it unconstitutional.

What??????????????????????????

8. I know I should be cynical, but I have got to get up in the morning

and sometimes you have to find hope where you can.

[tishaLA]

10. I thought he was going to propose a ban on companies with foreign shareholders

from being able to participate in the ads. That would be amazingly effective

[timeforpeace]

11. We like it, but it won't play well at all in Peoria.

38. Why not? You think Peoria PREFERS the Supreme Court's fascist ruling?

.

[DisgustedInMN]

12. Great ...

... but it doesn't change the ruling one iota.

[progressoid]

13. SPANK!!

[biscotti]

14. Alito didn't like it

one bit. The look on his face and the shake of his head said it all, like he couldn't believe it.
Yeah home run!!!! Mr President!!!!

[mike_c]

53. frankly, that alone made my day....

Every time Alito gets heartburn, kittens in heaven fart rainbows.

[BootinUp]

15. Oh jeez, I guess I'll have to search for a video replay

Too stressed to watch it tonight...

[Pirate Smile]

18. You should have watched it. You would feel better.

[BootinUp]

20. ok, I can believe that

but some times its hard to predict. lol.

[RainDog]

16. another kick n/t

[TheDebbieDee]

17. This. Thread. Rocks.

And. Kick.

[StarryNite]

22. Ha! That was great!

Is it up on YouTube yet?

[mitchtv]

25. yes

here in Poli videos

[euphoria12leo]

24. Hell yeah he did n/t

:thumbsup:

[madinmaryland]

26. He looked Roberts straight in the eye and said that Roberts fucked up

big time.

Same here. Best moment of the speech. Coming from a Constitution Scholar/Lawyer you could see the beads of sweat on Robert's forehead.

[MrMickeysMom]

34. Jesus, you had a better TV set than I...

I would have paid to see his sweat in HD.

[Odin2005]

27. That was one of the few good parts of the speech.

[racaulk]

28. That was fan-damn-tastic!

My favorite part of the whole speech!

:woohoo:

[CrawlingChaos]

29. He needs to support a Constitutional amendment..

not watered down legislation that could wind up right before the same Supreme Court.

I did enjoy seeing them squirm though.

[MilesColtrane]

32. For a second, I thought Scalito was going to cry

[MrMickeysMom]

33. I wanted the CSPAN camera to stay on them... just a little bit longer...

Alito, Fat Tony, Roberts... that little robot Thomas.

It was the highlight, Stinky. The absolute highlight of it all. Ab-so-fucking-lutely.

[earth mom]

37. Whoopee do. It changes nothing. nt

[hunter]

40. One of those right wing hacks on the Supreme Court will crack if we keep up the pressure.

Which one?

I'd love to see Roberts resign to spend "more time with his family."

[deaniac21]

41. They don't have anything to fear from anybody. They are lifers

fer chrissakes.

[hunter]

45. I'm hoping for a TV preacher kind of breakdown...

"I have sinned against you, my Lord, and I would ask that your precious blood would wash and cleanse every stain until it is in the seas of God's forgetfulness, never to be remembered against me."

Sins of the sort described in Ezekiel 23:20 might cause a Supreme Court Justice to resign.

[deaniac21]

52. What is an Ezekiel?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

42. Yes! Yes he did!

:D

LOVED IT!

also loved "I'm just stating facts." (dipshit pukes groused when he noted the deficit before and after boosh)

[butterfly77]

43. The other part of the speech I loved was..

when he called them out about all of the tax cuts they put every bill..

46. Agreed. Now lets have some action n/t

[samsingh]

47. what's - with - all - the - periods -?

[walldude]

48. Great Speech. No doubt. Just like many he has given in the past

of course his follow through has left much to be desired in the past, but hell I'll come running up to the football again, I'm sure it won't get pulled away this time. :rofl:

[lonestarnot]

49. AL eato, fun to watch it squirm, albeit creepy.

:D

[graywarrior]

50. I watched Roberts sitting there as he got reamed

It was a beautiful sight, like a corkscrew to the heart.

[Hekate]

51. It was rich. It was delicious. And the line about foreign corporations: multi-national is so common

... by now that you'd probably be hard-pressed to find a major corporation that isn't. What the bloody blue blazes were the Ignoble Five thinking?

They use offshore P.O. boxes as "headquarters." They ship American jobs overseas to the lowest bidder, then close plants and walk away when they find a still lower wage-scale somewhere else. They have absolutely no allegiance to the United States of America/ Bill of Rights/ Constitution, except when they need our military to get them out of trouble and protect their assets in some banana republic. Allegiance to the bottom line is all they know.

And these virtually immortal entities are somehow supposed to have free speech rights in the political arena? Like they don't own enough media outlets and Congressmen already?

Watching President Obama call out the SCOTUS to their faces was like dessert with a fine brandy on the side.

Hekate
:evilgrin:

[Fire1]

54. And rec! n/t

[Gregorian]

55. Judging from Leahy's comments today, I predict Obama's speech was the beginning of a new beginning.

I'm hoping dearly it has opened up a free dialogue of dissent. Dialogue being one way, of course. But dissent, nonetheless.
