WN: A Brewing Court Battle - Newsweek

[WorthyNewsBot]

As they charge through the eventful first 100 days, President Obama and his allies are racking up legislative victories. Soon they will have to win the votes of a new audience: men and women in black robes. As the former constitutional-law professor surely knows, that can be a tough crowd. Here's the core constitutional fact: a progressive president and Congress now face a conservative judiciary, for the first time since 1937. Obama's ambitious agenda, if enacted, must go before federal courts--where judges can rewrite or strike down key provisions.

Somehow I don't think the judiciary will be the imposing obstacle they portray it as. If these Justices were so imposing a force they would not have shied away from merely hearing the cases brought to them regarding Obama's birth records. IMO these Justices that make up the Judiciary are, despite their robes or political leanings, greedy power hungry lawyers. They should be fairly easily purchased and if ever that fails the potential remains that one of their family members could be faced with an increased risk of accident. Politics is far more sinister than what we see in the news. It's not all horse trading and kissing babies.

Many of these "elected" officials were wealthy before they sought office. Why do you suppose they would pursue political office rather than playing tennis or shuffleboard? Boredom? I think not. It's because they seek power and people like this are ruthless in that pursuit. They will say and DO anything to get what they set their eyes on.

That being said I would not expect Obama's political machine to have much difficulty "persuading" the Judiciary to play along. Chicago, believe it or not, does not have a monopoly on this "style" of politics. Perhaps if the Justice are open and willing their family's could benefit greatly.

Part and Parcel with being an analytical thinker. Granted, it's not always a good thing but it can't be helped.
