This kind of thing scares me. While many were confident upon hearing the questions raised by the justices concerning Obamacare, Pelosi’s confidence about it being a 6-3 ruling for Obamacare frightens me to no end.
I don’t think it’s impossible at all to think that somehow Pelosi got wind of this. Not at all. Mind you, Pelosi’s made all sorts of ridiculous predictions before (especially right before the 2010 elections.)
Let’s hope this is the same as that stupod prediction. CNS reports:
Pelosi, in reference to how the nine-judge court will rule, said, “6-3. That’s it. 6-3.”
She was then asked why she was so confident about her prediction, “Do you have a crystal ball or what is your confidence — you wrote the bill but why do you have this confidence?”
Pelosi said: “Because I know the Constitution. This bill is ironclad. It is ironclad.”
“Nobody was frivolous with the Constitution and the health of the American people in writing the bill,” she said. “So, that’s where my confidence springs from, the merit of the bill and the nature of the Constitution.”
“The makeup of the court, well, we’ll see,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi got the count right but the decision wrong.
My prediction – and you saw it here first-
6-3 against Obamacare:
Against:
Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Kennedy and Sotomayor
For:
Breyer, Kagan, Ginsburg
With Justice Alito writing for the majority.

Oh, and Anonymous (coward) at 7:35:
Sorry to sound like Obama blaming Bush, but you do not get to hang Milwaukee on Cardinal Dolan. You have to give it to his predecessor the self-avowed homosexual love letter writing archbishop Rembert Weakland.

Unless Ron Paul is elected you can COUNT on it. Does anyone here seriously think Romney is going to do anything to repeal his stepchild?

hilltop, there's no way an associate justice will write for the majority, since Roberts is likely to be in the majority regardless of the outcome.
Oh, and why are there so many trolls on here? The posts mentioning Cardinal Dolan, which were cut and pasted from news articles, are quite frankly obnoxious and should be deleted.

The liar Romney is no different than Obama:
"Mitt Romney has distanced himself from the health care reform bill he signed as governor of Massachusetts amid criticism that the law bears more than a passing resemblance to Obamacare, which he's repeatedly pledged to repeal if elected in November.
But a series of emails obtained by the Wall Street Journal reveals Romney was actively engaged in negotiating the specifics of the 2006 Massachusetts bill and that he and his top aides championed a provision identical to one in President Barack Obama's law requiring individuals to have or buy health insurance.
The so-called individual mandate is at the heart of most conservative criticism of Obama's health care law, with many Republicans calling the provision unconstitutional. But in 2006, emails obtained by the Journal under a public records request show, Romney and his top aides pressed for an individual mandate even when Massachusetts Democrats weren't yet embracing such a proposal."
