The Supreme Court and Obamacare

I found this article on Hotair and all I can say is you really have to have some serious willing suspense of disbelief to buy it.

Five conservative Supreme Court men join Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, John Boehner and Ron Paul in the war against women - The Hill's Pundits Blog

In my latest column, Supreme Court on trial, I initiated a new discussion about how five conservative men on the Supreme Court have joined partisan Republicans in the war against laws and programs that serve women. In June we will remember the anniversary of the infamous 5-4 Supreme Court decision discrimination defeating women opposing against Wal-mart, when the five men joined fellow Republicans against efforts to win pay equity for women and end discrimination against women. It will not help Republicans to put South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who is highly unpopular at home, on the presidential ticket with “war against women” politicians such as Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, John Boehner and Ron Paul.

Actions have consequences. Policies have impact. Court rulings have results. The Supreme Court conservatives have joined and at times led the war against women on a range of issues, especially in decisions that hurt women and support those who discriminate against women in hiring, promotion and pay. The Wal-mart decision was a disgrace. Republican opposition to equal pay for women is a disgrace. The vulture capitalism of Mitt Romney is a disgrace. The Ayn Rand-like reactionary budgeting of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan (R) is a dagger in the hearts of programs that serve women. The Austrian economics of Ron Paul is from the wrong century and the wrong continent, and profoundly hurts women.

Does she mean reforming a bankrupt Medicaid program so it will be able to serve poor women in the future? And a dagger in the heart of programs...an increase of 7 percent instead of 10 percent? Get real!
If the Supreme Court throws out the healthcare law as unconstitutional it will foment a powerful political backlash and escalate the judicial front in the war against women.

The Supreme Court is indeed on trial with the American people and the high court of history.

The five men on the Supreme Court who promote these wars against women decisions and join with war against women Republicans should step back, uphold the law and begin acting with judicial impartiality. They should stop acting like partisan Republicans and extreme ideologues with an agenda that dishonors the law, and does grave damage and injustice to the women of America.
I love in three paragraphs she demands the Court "Republicans should step back, uphold the law and begin acting with judicial impartiality." while she demands it's influenced by supposed American opinion to uphold the law, "If the Supreme Court throws out the healthcare law as unconstitutional it will foment a powerful political backlash.." It is not inparcialty she wants but leftist dogma enshroud into our founding document by judicial fiat. Rule by 5 unelected judges as opposed to the majority. BTW sis, Obamacare is deeply opposed by the majority of this country.

But I was looking at the bottom of the article and saw this great comment.

Was this a parody or a serious article?
