  • Oh yeah, the SCOTUS will take care of us here, just like they did with Obamacare. Not to worry... yup... all's well. NOT!

  • Ho hum, big deal. He will ignore this and no one will do anything about if. If he has to make his point, he will put it in front of his ass kissers on the SCOTUS and order an IRS audit on these out of line judges.
    While this ruling is entertaining, it means absolutely nothing to this overbearing asshole.

  • His next executive will ban all judges great and small from ruling against any of his decrees .

    Lets hope these guys don't meet their maker via some weird toilet seat accident or some electric fence malfunction .

    • Amazing isn't it? Levin was all over this today (well yesterday but still my today). They're just going to ignore it... I'm not in talk radio because I have no words on how wrong that is.

  • Poor "Dear Leader", how is he ever going to catch up to his heroes Stalin and Mao if he keeps getting thwarted by these pesky federal judges.

  • What's the problem? His Lawfulness will just issue an Executive Order nullifying the court decision, call in a drone strike, and continue forward.

  • This will probably wind up in the Supreme Court. Still, it's good to see that not all branches of the federal government are subservient to the One.

    • He'll take it all the way to the Supreme Court if he has to.
