Beneath the 6-3 Decision

This court has DECISIVELY ruled that Obamacare is ok to give subsidies where it is not matching the word of the law.
Frankly, if the criterion of SCOTUS is the INTENT of Congress, I AGREE
But it still took a tortuous path to get there.
Roberts for the majority:
Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them. …. from the challengers, the majority says “In this instance, the context and structure of the Act compel us to depart from what would otherwise be the most natural reading of the pertinent statutory phrase.”
But no one should doubt that SCOTUS has saved the incompetence, and misleading blackmail against states Obama intended as well.
For there can be no doubt that Obama intended to blackmail states into these exchanges “as established by the states”, but expected as did the Congress ruled by the D’s, the states to collapse and were then SHOCKED by the FACT that the majority of the states rejected the exchanges.
But remember that SCOTUS has ruled based on their judgment of what was intended in the mind of the president and congress.
They made this LAW.
It’s over unless Obamacare is REPLACED
WOW
This Chief Justice believes FIRMLY if we want different governance, we had better VOTE FOR IT

  1. "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'STATE' is."

    And that's what the state of laws in this country have to. INTENT. What 'FEELS' right instead of what 'IS' right.

    God save us from the liberal mentally ill.

  2. Does this essentially create future precedent to eliminate the 10th amendment

  3. Welcome to Alice in Wonderland: .


    'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

    'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'

  4. Beyond any other consideration, here's my conclusion:

    Someone got to John Roberts.

    But this issue is so big there is no forgiving Roberts for this. Even if they introduced him to Satan himself and guaranteed him that the devil would buttrape his wife for eternity, that still is no excuse for what he has done.

    He has damned America to save his own ass.

    He is a galactially selfish, save his own ass, pussy.

    Goodbye America.

    I'm done.

    Selfishness is the rule now. There is no sacrifice. Everyone just cut to the front of the line, and kill the weak.

  5. My fear is the potential for this case to result with precedent for undermining/eliminating the 10th amendment...as such would be devastating well beyond SCOTUSCare/Obamacare. For example, consider the recent gains made by states issuing laws which reject foreign law in American Courts. Since this case ignores the 10th amendment, expect a rash of suits attempting to undermine states rejecting sharia law.

  6. Pastorius, given all the recent reports of security/privacy breechs (expecially during the current administrations existence), those in power have had access to any number of methods of intimidation/purchase. No reasonably well informed person can hold any expectation of privacy anymore, hence any vulnerabilities are exposed for political profit.
    On the other hand, should political providence shift dramatically, the opposition will likely come to understand the effects of the pandora's box they've opened.

  7. Roberts wasn't even the deciding vote.
    6-3 is DECISIVE

    IMHO they KNEW congress wanted to mandate to all americans
    THey knew the wording was intended to blackmail the states
    THey knew there might be chaos if overturned
    They knew that congress represented an overwhleming majority
    and as at the FIRST SCOTUS Obamacare decision, they were NOT goging to replace the will of the voters.

    Let's here it for the Justices in 1954.
    The OVERTURNING Precendent setting Warren Court

    Felix Frankfurter (1939-1962)
    Hugo Black (1937-1971)
    Chief Justice Earl Warren (1953-1969)
    Stanley F. Reed (1938-1957)
    William O. Douglas (1939-1975)
    Tom C. Clark (1949-1967)
    Robert H. Jackson (1941-1954)
    Harold H. Burton (1945-1958)
    Sherman Minton (1949-1956)

    These guys KILLED Plessy-Ferguson and went against the grain of the time.

  9. Flopping aces takes it further:
    The Roberts Court renders all laws meaningless as written

    The Roberts Court sets a remarkable precedent- laws no longer have to mean what is written. That pretty much opens the door for any law to be interpreted in any fashion one sees fit. Now Obama is free to interpret anything not as written, but as he desires and he can expect Roberts to have his back.

    Boy, was I ever wrong about Roberts.

    Now a democrat President can have a law written with one word.

    “Environment”

    Nothing else is needed. If laws no longer have to mean what’s written and can mean whatever a left wing President wants them to mean, what about this one?

  10. That cuts BOTH WAYS, anon. Lesson = pick your court appointees carefully

  11. BTW...if you do not have a state exchange you can't get fed support for the medicaid expansion, can you?

    If you opt out now, either YOU have to pay for medicaid expansion as a state or everyone making less than $15k has NO SUBSIDIES

  12. Epa, it is a mistake to think my comment is merely about Roberts.

    The point is, Obama and his minions (which includes most of Congress and the Senate and the Judiciary) are getting their way on EVERYTHING.

    Roberts is only the most obvious symptom, and that is because there is no way that man votes this way. It's just not possible.

    This is not about picking your Supreme Court Justices carefully.

    HE WAS PICKED CAREFULLY.

    He was the best nominee for us ever.

    And he turned.

    And that man would not turn unless there is some sort of tremendous pressure placed on him.

    Likewise, Congress does everything Obama wants. The trade agreement is only the latest example.

    These people are working deals behind the scenes that have nothing to do with the voters, or even with their own beliefs.

    There is something larger afoot.

    We have no control over our own government anymore.

    It doesn't matter if a Republican is elected.

    We've lost control of our country.

    This vote by roberts is the single most sickening thing I have seen in my life with regard to American public policy or war.

    There is no reason to fight the Jihad anymore.

    Our government is itself a bigger menace than Islam.

  13. Actually I think TPA/TAA this week was the worst.
    After Roberts action the 1st time, I expected 5-4 that SCOTUS would say, it's obv congress meant for the whole USA to get subsidies.
    And it IS.

    Everyone should go back and watch INSIDE JOB paying particular attentionto Mishkin and Hubbard.
    Then read MAD AS HELL
