GOOD DEAL!

Why am i picturing Charlie Brown, Lucy and a football?

It is odd that the court has decided to rehear the case so soon after ruling on it (and so soon after the election). I remember there was a theory floating around that Chief Justice Roberts only sided with the liberals because he thought the Republicans would take control of the Senate and the Presidency. He wanted Obamacare gone, but wanted to keep the courts “hands clean” and hoped the new Republican majority would repeal Obamacare. This case will give him a second opportunity to strike down Obamacare but still keep a semblance of independence, after all he upheld it once on different grounds...

It seems like any reason at all is sufficient to opt out of Obamacare and, according to the law itself, nobody is really required to participate.

“No individual, company, business, nonprofit entity, or health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage shall be required to participate in any Federal health insurance program created under this Act (or any amendments made by this Act), or in any Federal health insurance program expanded by this Act (or any such amendment), and there shall be no penalty or fine imposed upon any such issuer for choosing not to participate in such programs.”

Does this work? It’s from the Obamacare law itself.

Please, God, mercy.

I recall reading here that the moslem crowd in the US were exempt from barrycare. Wondering if that was for real.

It’s just on that narrow issue only and I’m with whoever posted “why do I see Lucy, Charlie Brown and a football.”

You know it’s bad when the Obama admin also asked the Court to hear it.

They had the perfect opportunity to kill this monstrosity and not only didnt do it, the Chief Justice DID SOME FREAKING JUDICIAL BACKFLIPS NOT TO KILL IT. At most they might strip out the birth control requirement but I doubt they will even do that. In any case 99.999% of the law will survive.

What are LU’s complaints, specifically? What religious liberties is LU saying Obamacare infringes upon?

[Salvation]

Thiss time, I believe, the High Courts will strike it down. How about a prayer thread to that effect?

[AFPhys]

I don’t see how this mandate survives in the end.

[Hotlanta Mike]

How can muslims be exempted from the act due to THEIR faith? Unequal application of the law.

[Venturer]

What they are really saying here is that the Supreme Court got Obama’s permission to make this decision.

Obama is running the Supreme Court.

(shrug)
Now that we know the Supreme Court is comprised of three distinct factions - - 4 liberals, 4 conservatives, and 1 moron - - these kinds of cases take on more of a surreal air. I trust a coin flip to make the right decision more than I trust that assclown Roberts.

Hey, if islam gets a waiver....

[Persevero]

This is how we must destroy ObamaCare now. With a thousand lawsuits, states refusing, the House refusing to fund, etc.

Too bad we couldn’t have just elected Romney. It would have been much cleaner and quicker. Oh well, off to the front.

[DustyMoment]

Hey, CJ Roberts!! Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me!!

I don’t think anything will change.

[Revolting cat!]

Justice John Roberts is going to be a busy boy defending himself against all those blackmails.
