He who makes peaceful revolution impossible makes violent revolution inevitable.
BS. If SCOTUS accepts this at all, it will be the last decision at the end of their session.
The sad thing is, as soon as the Republicans gain control of the Senate, they will re-institute the old rules.
Schmucks.
The delay is advantageous to the Administration because if the DC Circuit’s panel ruling is upheld by SCOTUS all subsidies paid are illegal and must be returned to the govenment.
That’s a figure that’s rapidly increasing with each passing day. A delay in a final ruling of even just a year (so from June 2015 to June 2016) is only going to increase the eventual pain that much further.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the en banc request is designed to push the eventual SCOTUS ruling right into the 2016 general election. When there can be a focus on untold numbers of Americans being financially ruined in having to return multiple years worth of subsidies.
The power to create law lies with neither unelected judges nor the executive branch.
Funny. Of course it does, and no election can return that power to the sole province of Congress.
Shades of FDR’s attempt to pack the SCOTUS.
