“What I told them flat-out is that you have no choice but to hear this,”

...
As we stated above on February 21st , we once again received a notice without explanation: “The petition for rehearing is denied”. I called the Court and asked if Sotomayor or Kagan participated. The answer was: “It was denied; we’re not required to tell you anything.” Keep in mind that both these two jurists (one an affirmative action activist and member of La Raza, the other a direct advocate for the legislation), are going to sit in judgment on the constitutionality of the Health-care legislation. God help the United States. By refusing to obey the United States Code, these two judges show that they are unqualified and have little or no respect for our laws. Sadly the other justices, will hear oral argument based upon inadequate and limited briefings on the most dangerous piece of legislation ever written by Congress.

Now I ask what all Americans should be asking: if the “We the People” brief Case No. 11-7275 contained 19 well-supported violations of the United States Constitution and 4 statutory laws, how does the Supreme Court protect the freedom and rights of the American people by refusing to address these constitutional challenges without explanation? And, by that refusal, does not this Court leave the American people without recourse?

If I had a time machine, I think at least one stop I'd make would be to pop in on the Founding Fathers and explain to them just how obnoxiously that "We the People" phrase is going to become - and how it will generally be abused by people who actually hate the US and are trying to turn us into a theocracy. (Then I'd have to go find the people who originally owned the Watergate Hotel and convince them to give it a different name that can't be easily tagged onto the end of every scandal name....)
