This past weekend, the right wing billionaire Koch brothers had a secretive closed door meeting with many high ranking political officials and corporate owners. It's funny we never hear anything about the event or the SpOOooOOky Koch brothers from beck, who are padding the wallets of himself, Limbaugh, Supreme court justices, congressmen, notably Bobby Jindal and Jim DeMint, and many more billionaire corporate owners, all that attended this secret closed door meeting this past weekend. This is scary stuff we see how the Koch brothers single handedly paid for the rise of the tea party, and paying off many in congress and the furthest right talking heads. Looks like it was nothing more than passing out checks to pay off the government for their own gains, and further the extreme right wing corporatist/fascist machine.

The Koch brothers are probably telling the conservatives on the Court to rule in favor of the individual mandate.

If the Koch brothers want to pull in politicians and business leaders, it's none of my business, but I have a REAL problem with SC justices attending partisan political meetings. They're supposed to use judicial restraint in their rulings and be above the political process--they SHOULD NOT make rulings based on their personal political views. For all the ranting and screaming that conservatives have done about activist judges in the past, doesn't anyone else see a problem with this? Or is it just wonderful now that they're conservative judges? I hate hypocrites.

They are probably coming up with a strategy on how they will convince their followers that they are making the right decisions on the individual mandate.

Finally a Republican answer to George Soros. Funny how Soros can have meetings and donate tons of money with no questions but the Koch Brothers do the same and its some sort of conspiracy.

Watching too much Beck I see? Soros has donated mostly to political activist groups and charity, not to supreme court justices, congressmen and others to pay off the government.

How come closed door meetings when they involved the Democrat majorities in the House and Senate and the yahoos that really crafted Obamacare didn't bother you? Remember all of the TV cameras fixed on those CLOSED DOORS?
