Howard Dean, former Democratic National Committee chairman and 2004 presidential candidate, tried to defend President Obama from the prospect of the Supreme Court overturning Obamacare by maligning the integrity of the justices (two of whom Obama appointed).

Dean thinks it’s possible the court could strike down the entire health care law, not just the individual mandate, so he is trying to portray the Supreme Court as antagonistic to the president in advance. “I think the president is in great shape in health care, unless they strike down the whole bill,” Dean said on Fox News Sunday. “This is the most political Supreme Court we’ve ever had, 73 percent of the American believe that politics motivates the Supreme Court. I’m one of those 73 percent.”
