Chief justice unsettled by Obama's criticism of Supreme Court

[Cholly]

Que, I see your point.  The difference between Joe Wilson and the Chief Justice is Joe Wilson shouted at the president.  The Chief Justice only mouthed a few words to himself.  I'm sure he is not the only one to mouth either agreement or disagreement that night.  I have watched the cutaways when those who were not standing and clapping were talking to the person next to them.  I did not pay any attention to what they might have been saying.  I will pay closer attention in the future.

Glad you are paying SOMETHING.

I guess long as it ain't a $100 check you cool with it huh?

It's not. If anything, he/they had it coming. Had the SCOTUS been going about the business of doing what they were selected to do, this would be a non-issue.

I was always taught that "there is a time and a place for everything."   If they spoke out against the POTUS during his speech on something we knew he did wrong, would we be quite as accepting.  Cliche' #2 "Two wrongs don't make a rights"

And, as POTUS, it's HIS privilege to choose that time and place. If it was his choice to choose the greatest stage on earth, then so be it. The immediate audience that he stood before when this happened, will be the very body who will have to take up the task of reversing the pro-corporate decisions that this "activist" court has made. I have no problem with it. We will just have to agree to disagree...

That being the case the same argument could have been used for that idiot Joe Wilson. As for the audience, IMO they ain't did squat on health care, so don't expect them to do much on that. I based my argument on the protocol and decorum normally used in that situation.  But as you said we will agree to disagree.

If I remember correctly, "idiot" Joe Wilson wasn't 1) running anything except his yap, 2) addressing the congress and the nation in a leadership role. You insistently continue to try and compare apples to oranges....

soflorattler,  I think you are missing my point because you are emotionally anchored in your position, which is fine because we have agreed to disagree. But your calling MY OPINION  apples and oranges is not going to change anything. The comparison is if it was not right for Joe Wilson (who as a member of Congress has the right to voice his opposition to the POTUS's policy) to do what he did at the time and place he did it then in MY OPINION it was wrong for the POTUS to disagree with the court's ruling in the time and place that he did it.  As I previously stated I have not swayed from MY OPINION nor am I trying to sway you or others from theirs.

B66 couldn't have stated it any better:

If I recall, after giving respect to the separation of powers, the President ADDRESSED THE CONGRESS.

He called on THEM to pass legislation that would counter the ill-effects of the Supreme Court decision.  Did he criticize the Court?

IMO, this is another case of thin-skinned Conservatives crying "victim."

 

Yet, they have the nerve to point fingers...

Que, I see your point.  The difference between Joe Wilson and the Chief Justice is Joe Wilson shouted at the president.  The Chief Justice only mouthed a few words to himself.  I'm sure he is not the only one to mouth either agreement or disagreement that night.  I have watched the cutaways when those who were not standing and clapping were talking to the person next to them.  I did not pay any attention to what they might have been saying.  I will pay closer attention in the future.

Errrrrr, I really don't think you see my point based on this comment.  You are just trying to use my disagreement as your springboard.
