Obama has a habit of picking fights with those beneath him (see e.g., Cantor and Ryan). It's bad strategy and he is getting bad advice. Leave that to you minions or even Biden to do. Stay above the frey. Act like you've been there before. The incredibly shrinking president indeed.
I think the appellate judge overreacted, but also think it was cute for the 3rd branch to actually defend itself for once. My sense is that this judge could give too shits about HCR; his main bone is defending a co-equal branch of government.
I didn't see Thomas' poke, what was it?

So your take is that the supreme court, which seems poised to take a major shot at Obama's signature policy, is beneath him and best ignored? Interesting.
So you don't go in for that co-equal bit?
He can't just sit back and have the story be that Obamacare is unconstitutional. He could have been more eloquent in making the point that a 5-4 decision striking it down would be unprecedented and potentially politically motivated, but the point needed to be made and made now.
As for Hank's interest in how it influences the 9, I don't think it does.
