- No, RobAla: Obama meant it, and he was dead right. The Supreme Court hasn't overturned a Congressionally-passed law regulating economic activity under the Commerce Clause and "necessary and proper" language since before 1940. That's right: 72 years! I wasn't alive then; you probably weren't either. To overturn PPACA would throw out a long string of Supreme Court precedents (which is what Obama meant by "unprecedented"). It shouldn't happen. If it DOES happen, it WILL represent precisely the sort of "judicial activism" Republicans have been whining about ever since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954!

- The illegitimate Supreme Court showed us and the world where they stand with the Citizens United decision. They are outwardly and blatantly for the current system of big corporate corruption and against the best interests of the American people. Just like the evil Republicans and their big corporate masters.

- President Obama did not misspeak - he talked about this for two days in two separate press conferences. President Obama meant what he said regarding the Supreme Court reviewing the constitutionality of a terrible law passed by Congress. This was no mistake - he meant it, and he was dead wrong.
