RUSH: Jan in Kaysville, Utah, as we head back to the phones. Thank you for waiting and welcome to the show.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, I have a question from the aftermath of the decision on Arizona by the Supreme Court. Do you think that Obama is gonna try to do something similar to that when the health care decision comes down and is not what he wants it to be?<\/p>\n

RUSH: I wouldn\u2019t be surprised.<\/p>\n

CALLER: But what can he do?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Implement it anyway.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

CALLER: So just by declaration, he can just say that it\u2019s to go into effect?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah. He can say the Supreme Court found an element of the law unconstitutional so he\u2019s just gonna issue an executive order.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And then we\u2019d have to wait until the election to get him out of there to do anything about that?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, my God.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, wait, folks, before you start thinking, “Come on, Rush!” It\u2019s what he did with immigration. He\u2019s entirely capable of this. What would be most likely is he can write a presidential executive order that requires the IRS to collect his mandates, to issue the fines if you don\u2019t buy health insurance. He\u2019s gonna hire the agents, the 4,000 new agents. You have \u2019em so you have to have something for them to do. I think you can expect something like that. Well, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised. I don\u2019t know if we can “expect it.”<\/p>\n

But what I do know is gonna happen is… If the mandate\u2019s ruled unconstitutional or if any part of this is, I can tell you right now what\u2019s gonna happen. “Four white guys and an Uncle Tom just took away your health care! They still have theirs, but four rich white guys and an Uncle Tom just took away your health care. They still have theirs.” Folks, I have to tell you something. This week bothers me in a whole host of ways. On Monday we all got here, and everybody\u2019s breathlessly waiting for the decision of nine people on really, really important things.<\/p>\n

<\/a>It\u2019s the evolution of the court. I understand this. But the political class has punted everything over to the judicial. And I don\u2019t know about you, but I find it hanging by a thread. Every time one of these decisions comes up, the country stops and waits breathlessly for the decision of at least five people. In a country of 300-some-odd million. And I get caught up in it, too. (panting) “What are they gonna do? What are they gonna do? (panting) What\u2019s the future of health care?<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s Kennedy gonna do?<\/p>\n

“Oh, no, what\u2019s Roberts<\/a> gonna do?”<\/p>\n

And then I find, “Gosh that offends me, sitting around waiting for these two guys.” I don\u2019t know them. (I mean, I\u2019ve met Justice Kennedy.) They\u2019re fine people, don\u2019t misunderstand. The whole notion that everybody is sitting breathless awaiting decisions of a bunch of people in black robes just seems rather precariously tied together. Here you have two-thirds of the American people who don\u2019t want this piece of garbage, and five people can tell us to go to hell. Ah, it makes me nervous.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: No. Folks, let me express this a little bit better. I know that some of you might be shouting at me, “Wait a minute, wait a minute, Rush, the people\u2019s representatives passed health care, two-thirds of us, doesn\u2019t matter. And the Supreme Court may save it.” I understand that. I didn\u2019t express this well. I\u2019m like everybody else. I hope the Supreme Court overturns it. What I\u2019m talking about is the masses gathering for the Roman emperor to give thumbs up or thumbs down. It\u2019s just that whole notion here, and that so many people just like sheep flock to it. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m still not expressing it as I mean it. So it\u2019s something for me to work on and develop a little bit further.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The solution to this isn\u2019t complicated, but it\u2019s hard, apparently. What we want is for all branches to uphold the Constitution. It\u2019s that simple. We wouldn\u2019t be here if the Democrats cared about the Constitution. On immigration or health care, we would not be here if there was respect for the Constitution. It\u2019s that simple. If you want to find out about the precarious nature of these guys in black robes and how the court got so much power and the problem, Mark Levin\u2019s book, Men in Black<\/a>, excellent in explaining the evolution, the court, how we got here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
