Obama warns 'unelected' Supreme Court against striking down health law
Comment:
My understanding is that a preliminary vote is taken on a case just after arguments. Since that happened last week and this story comes out, the question arises as to how Obama may know about the outcome.
My understanding also is that this vote is supposed to be secret. But what if one of the justices decides to talk? Like Kagan? At least one person who commented upon this seems to think Kagan talked because Kagan has no honor.
The vote should be secret. It prevents any hanky pank when it comes down to the real vote, which is when the decision is made public.
I'd say this rates as a major scandal. It's important because the Court is supposed to be a separate and equal branch. If the President tries to subvert this, it is a big deal.
Anybody paying attention?
