"A Supreme Court justice wouldnt use a congressional hearing to signal his vote on Obamacare, would he?
Justice Anthony Kennedy sent a ripple through the universe of court watchers Monday when he told lawmakers that the justices should interpret statutes without worrying about congressional gridlock.
Kennedy didnt specifically mention the Affordable Care Act, but his comments prompted immediate speculation that he will read the law as barring crucial tax subsidies to insurance purchasers in two-thirds of the countryleaving it to the president and Congress to negotiate what would seem an unlikely fix."

I do not have enough words to express my contempt for Kennedy. Ironically, the only thing that had kept Kennedy in check was O'Conner, who when she was ready to step down, created with her Bush V Gore decision, the court we have today.
