The 'severability clause' was in there, Reid got it out. So now it's all or nothing.
President Obama said today he is confident the Supreme Court will uphold his health care law -- and basically warned the justices against striking down the law by practicing what he called "judicial activism."
"I'd just remind conservative commentators that for years what we've heard is the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism, or a lack of judicial restraint," Obama said during a joint news conference with the leaders of Canada and Mexico.
Obama defined activism by saying "an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted passed law -- well, here's a good example. And I'm pretty confident that this -- this court will recognize that and not take that step."
Obama seems to be in denile that he's a politican.
He is practicing the same crap FDR did.

Obama taking his politics to the SCOTUS?
The case is over...they voted...they know the outcome...Is Obama trying to influence thier decision?
Video in the story...
Aren't his opponents trying to threaten riots or outright rebellion? Whatever he's said pales in comparison to the treasonous thongs we hear from the wingnuts.
BTW, the case isn't over, no final vote has been taken and no one knows the outcome.

I had heard that FDR, in response to a conservative court (many Hoover appointees) opposed to his programs to end the Depression, threatened to "pack" the Court, by sponsoring a Constitutional Amendment to increase the Court size from 9 to 15 justices. The Court, however, came around and started finding FDR's programs Constitutional.
Of course, by then, most GOPpers has been throw out.
A switch in time saves 9

Judicial activism is legislating from the bench. Striking down laws that are unconstitutional is part of their duties as Supreme Court Justices.
It is the left who have been the judicial activists, rewriting the Constitution ever since the New Deal, but like everything else they try and twist it around and accuse their political opponents of doing what they're actually doing themselves, to try and trick the ignorant among us into thinking those rewriting our Constitution through the courts are in the mainstream while those protecting it are the extremists.

No, he is taking it to the people. This was for consumption by his base.

Were they so arrogant to think they could get away with this, or was this a planned outcome to make Republicans out to look like they want to take away everbody's healthcare right before an election
Either way.... the American public was against it by 70% or so....

Is that a serious question?
We can start with the most obvious, that being Roe v Wade.

No.Is Obama Threatening The Supreme Court Justices?
Hes simply reminding conservatives that when in the past the Court has struck down laws the right approves of such as laws limiting individual liberty and expanding the power of the state republicans have whined that those rulings manifested judicial activism where judges are legislating from the bench. In such cases conservatives further complain that the court has failed to exercise judicial restraint and exhibits disrespect for the will of the people as expressed through their elected representatives.
In order for conservatives to be consistent and avoid hypocrisy, therefore, theyd be required to denounce the striking down of the ACA as well.
