Oh, please: the Republican party has been talking directly about specific Supreme Court cases and threatening/discussing "activist judges" for years.
Except, of course, when those judges rule to stop vote counting in Bush v. Gore, and decide a presidential race opposite to the popular vote result.
What Obama said is nothing new, even for a president. It's simply the timing.
The conservative (non-Thomas) Supreme Court judges were, on the bench, talking about political considerations of overturning the ACA. Political!
That shocked long-time Supreme Court watchers. I didn't see much outrage over that departure from convention in the media, any comments on those judges behaviour.
Good grief - two extremely conservative "movement leader" appellate court federal judges have already ruled the entirely of the ACA constitutional. The Supremes, of course, will do what they wish.
I cannot believe the double standard and absolutely ridiculous attacks this president has been subjected to by his political enemies. That is what is unprecedented.
Especially a nonsensical lower-court judge requiring "three pages single spaced" from Eric Holder. God save this country.
