Nice play, greatest author since Julius Caesar.

I wasn’t going to say anything about Obama’s shot at the SCOTUS, because, who cares? SCOTUS had the binding word.

But it has slowly been dawning on me how politically stupid it was: Almost all politically hot decisions are going to be 5-4 votes one way or another for the foreseeable future. So what does Obama do? He scolds the swing vote to his face in the State of the Union for the most recent majority opinion he authored.

Good luck to the next attorney trying to move Kennedy over to the administration’s point of view next term.

    They’re big boys; a little scolding from the president shouldn’t affect anything.

    If it was just a scolding it might be one thing. But the fact that he chose to lie about what they had done might get to Kennedy, especially.
