RUSH: Now, the politics of this. I was thinking today, folks, right before the show began, how many days have there been in my 23-year career like this. Of course, the first big one was Clinton winning in 1992. The day after that election, I remember how depressed everybody who did not want Clinton to be elected was. I remember how depressed the audience was, and I remember my task that day and how I chose to go about it, which was to be as honest as I could and as positive as I could without abandoning reality. And to keep people engaged and in the game. And there have been, I forget how many, I couldn\u2019t think of them all, but there have been many days like this throughout the course of this program where a decision or an election has had a devastating impact on the attitudes of people. <\/p>\n
As a side note on this, how many embarrassed journalists are there for all these stories this week and last which trashed the court as being out of touch and arrogant? A guy, Roger Simon at The Politico, wrote a piece as though the court had already decided against Obama. And many others had written pieces about how worthless and out of touch and damaging the court was. There were people saying, “We need ten more justices! This court\u2019s been overtaken by a bunch of rabid right-wingers.”<\/p>\n
Now they\u2019ve gotta do their retractions.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t have the court to run against.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t have this as an issue to run against.<\/p>\n

It will be large, and it will be animated, and it will be energetic. Now, what\u2019s Obama got to run on? He can\u2019t run on his record; it\u2019s a disaster. He can\u2019t promise to do four more years of what he\u2019s done. Unless he wants to run on the great things represented by Obamacare and say, “It\u2019s just a taste of what could happen, just a little sample of what more we can do working together,” and so forth. This will all work itself out, shake itself out as the months and days unfold before our very eyes and ears. But I have to tell you something.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m gonna look at this, and I have, and I can find plenty of positives in it in terms of a campaign and the advantages it gives us and the ways in which to attack the incumbents that we have. But I wish it weren\u2019t the case. I wish we didn\u2019t have to do this. This is very, very troubling, what happened today. The way in which this disaster of a law was determined to be constitutional indicates the country is in a place… You all know it, and know it together. The country is in a very dangerous and precarious place, and it really is hanging by a thread.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the Constitution that\u2019s hanging by a thread and all the rest of us with it. But what\u2019s abundantly clear is we can\u2019t count on anyone except ourselves. “We, the people.” It\u2019s up to us. We can\u2019t count on anyone. I tried to share with you the disquietedness I felt this week as the anticipation built. “Will the health care ruling come Monday? No, it\u2019s gonna be Thursday!” And all the citizens and all the media gathered outside the court, tongues hanging, heavy breathing (panting), waiting for the decision of what it turns out to be.<\/p>\n Five people in a country of over 300 million decided. Now, I understand that it\u2019s a great opportunity we had to go to the court because the Congress used shenanigans and did pass this thing in a totally convoluted way. Just the idea here that, like in the old Roman days and the gladiator, the emperors were up there with thumbs up or thumbs down. It\u2019s where we are. November really does matter, and we can\u2019t count on anyone except us. So now we have to sit here and hope that all of us are up to the challenge. ‘Cause it\u2019s a big one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RUSH: Now, the politics of this.

<\/a>And that thread is either going to unravel in November or it\u2019s going to get stronger and we start sewing things back together. But it really does boil down to November. I think it\u2019s just unfortunate that we\u2019ve gotten here. We\u2019ve gotten to this point where the Constitution… I said it yesterday <\/a>and the day before. We wouldn\u2019t even be here if everybody involved simply had respect for and understanding of the Constitution. We wouldn\u2019t even be here. And that\u2019s what really is frightening about this.<\/p>\n
