How convenient of the Supreme Court to time their health care ruling for the Monday news cycle

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Just in time to dominate a week of coverage and coincide with the 'get Eric Holder" nonsense.

Yep, no rightwing judicial activism to see here.

1. I doubt ACA decision will be released monday. AZ law, perhaps

I figure they'll release ACA decision on Thursday, then disappear for their recess.

4. Could be.

And, of course, they never actually disappear; they're always available for scheduling and other urgent matters. They could use a break, of course; been a pretty busy session.

2. Lets not overstate, please.

Its TRADITIONAL that most decisions are released on Mondays; some are released on Thursdays.

As to the 'get Eric Holder' nonsense, THAT is ALL up to the damned repug dominated Congress, timed perfectly to interfere with DOJ's efforts against repug's anti-voting plans. I doubt, however, that it will in fact interfere with that (except in the media.)

3. The Court traditionally releases decisions on Monday (sometimes Thursdays)

These are the two 'non argument' days on the Court's calendar.

5. Thanks, Averse.

6. IMO that would blow Holder off the airwaves. The media either can't or won't cover

more than one big story at a time.

8. Indeed the ACA story will be much bigger than the Holder one. n/t

7. Would ACA over play Holder or Holder over play ACA

Also, could a good Democratic response help control it or do they have to just go with the flow?

If it were me, on ACA I would start talking 24/7 on what the American people have lost. Holder may be more difficult to control.

Since everything Obama does is going to be called political anyway, what could he do to attempt to trump the news? Even if it is political.

11. If the ruling is good for Obama, Holder will still be story #1

If it's not, the media will cease to give any shits about Holder and make the ruling into an Obamapocalyspe or something like that. The double standards of the MSM never surprise me.

9. Followup: Thursday was added as a opinion announcement day -that's when healthcare will be announced

[SoCalDem]

10. Yep.. as they skedaddle for the exits.

cowards that they are
