Health Reform: If the Supreme Court upholds ObamaCare in King v. Burwell, it will be because Justice Kennedy thinks doing otherwise would cause too much turmoil. But ObamaCare itself has already done that.

Nobama and the dems are practicing TURMOIL. If most things were allowed to go smoothly, the socialists would have no band of followers.
You sound as if the Supreme Court is a Court, and not a legislative body voting for whatever they want...
For any part of a law to be severable Congress must include a Severability Clause. The Peelousi/Reid Congress forgot to include, gruber must have had the dems in mind with his “stupidity” assertion.
Nobamacare is so lawfully unstable “all the halfrican King’s horses and all the halfrican King’s men can not keep it from falling off the wall again and again. If the dems are able to keep it propped up past Jan. 2017 with the Congress and POTUS, then to quote hitlery, “What possible difference will it make” as the Country dissolves.
It seemed to me that Justice Roberts was pointing out if the language was left as is and the Supremes assumed Congress’ intention was to allow people to get health care subsidies even if their states had not set up anything, that a future President could block it by executive action. We really don’t want our goverment run by royal decree, do we?
Gruber is on tape describing the necessary ‘churn’ in the insurance markets zerocare would bring, which caused millions and millions to lose coverage they wanted, so why would the ‘churn’ of ruling for the plaintiffs matter? Couldn’t a amicus be submitted to Kennedy that the insurance cos were delighted with ‘churn’ when it was churning THEIR way?
They didn't forget, Waxman ( IMMIC ) removed it, it was full steam ahead, no exemptions or exclusions, that and Scott Brown but them in end-run mode.
Today in Bill Bennett, his guest was noting Kennedy may go on a tangent of was the State Exchange language Coercion or not. That is really an obtuse read the stitches on the fast ball thing to say IMHO. And if he goes that route we are more screwed than Hogan's Goat, and this opens the door to NO "statue" Congress being irrelevant and we have a Supreme Executive more so than we have now and ALL Congressional Statue and be tweaked, going back as far as you want...
Last Exit Ramp for the Republic! the train porter yells....
I am going to try and not get too hyped out until its a fact that the SCOTUS failed the Constitution and gave over to tyranny.
Blind speculation is not our friend.
Gotta hand it to Teddy the Swimmer. He ABSOLUTELY knew what he was doing when he decided to Bork Bork years ago.
I’m ignorant about the mechanics: do the Justices continue to get input from plaintiffs and dependents, or was yesterday at noon the deadline for any argument to be entered into the case?
Have the justiced been ‘sequstered’ from any further info about zerocare, like Ted Cruz’ plan to ameliorate the outcome should Kennedy and Roberts find for the plaintiff?
More knowledgeable than I are welcome to say.
From my info, the evidence or presentation by attorneys was only yesterday. The members of the SCOTUS are free to look up or watch whatever they want. They do have Clerks that research for them.
Friday is to be the vote. Don’t think they can go back and change. Afterward they put together their opinion, minority and majority and then tell us all in June.
