context is everything!
Thank you.
Words mean things. Sentences mean things. Punctuation serves a purpose.
Above all, what was the intent of the founders?
semicolons were never my favorite subject in grammar school, but if a semicolon can remove the Obamacare blight from America (and our American economy!), then THREE CHEERS for the semicolon!
(Truly, the Lord works in mysterious ways...)
Not holding my breath on this. Hope I’m wrong but, I fully expect SCOTUS to come up with the wrong decision (again).
I don’t see any room for debate. The God-given and constitutionally protected right to the free exercise of religion takes absolute priority over any government whim, even if we ignore the fact that the Supremes were wrong the last time they voted on ObamaCare and the law itself is invalid because it is outside the scope of the Enumerated Powers. Fortunately, Chief Justice Roberts is an intelligent and thoughtful man, so we can count on him to decide this based on the merits . . . time to pray.

So the opposition’s argument is that if I create a Corporation I surrender all of my Constitutional rights in the act of running it?
That seems a little hard to swallow. Unless I misunderstand.
I am still curious as to why the ACA has not been challenged with regard to 42 USC § 18115 - Freedom not to participate in Federal health insurance programs?
Chief Justice Roberts is awaiting instructions form the administration on how to proceed.
Woop De doo, this would only apply to the birth control mandate, an tiny tiny fraction of this monstrocity.
Wow! Punctuation was fought over drafting the constitution; the semicolon was fought over! “A Semicolon Is Not a Comma,
Or, How a Semicolon Almost Changed the Constitution”

Who knew that over 200 years ago — PUNCTUATION — would be that critical!
Citizens United was a bad decision.Corporations shouldn’t be given rights that belong to citizens.
Could a semicolon undo Obamacare?
Only if the judges can figure out What the meaning of “it” is.
“We are not persuaded that the use of a semi-colon means that each clause of the First Amendment must be interpreted jointly.”
By that logic a state could ban the printing and sale of bibles; individuals could print there own bible but a business could be banned from selling bibles.
Oops bad example; they could ban the sale of kosher and halal foods, crucifix , yamalkas .
So SCOTUS is going to conduct a semicolonoscopy?
