This past week, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, over the vigorous dissent of four judges on that court, denied rehearing en banc (legalese for an entire court rather than just a panel of three judges) in the case of Sissel v. United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Sissel is a case against Obamacare led by the Pacific Legal Foundation, arguing that Obamacare is invalid because it violated the Origination Clause.
Now, the challengers have ninety days to file a writ of certiorari (an appeal) before the U.S. Supreme Court. …

Courts don’t go by law so it is tough to get a just result.
Gosh, we’re SURE to win this one!
What does it take before people realize that the courts simply validate and enforce what the oligarchy wants to do? Sheriff Arpio’s clearly justified case this week was shot down. Obama care. Homo marriage. Kelo. You name it, we lose it.
The current Supreme court is simply an American version of that Nazi judge Roland Freisler.
Id say take it to scrotus.
Roberts will give it cover 5-4, but force the traitors to go on record.
So the nine political hacks in black muumuus are going to ride to our rescue? When have I heard that before?
Scum is as scum does. Obamacare is favored by the powers that be. Thus it will continue. End of story.
What is the point?
The Affordable Care Act has been found Constitutional TWO different times by the Supreme Court.
'Nuff said.

Its going to take some creative influencing to change their ways. Being nice is getting us nothing but more overreach at every turn.
The Supreme Court is a joke.
And the result will be the same. I’m so sick of this whole nightmare.
Nonsense!
Oh yeah, I’m sure this is the case where the [Not So] Supremes will recall and live up to their oaths. The more cases heard by the Roberts [spit] court, the more that will have to be overturned (or ignored) later.
Yeah, I’m sure in his opinion he’ll note all that, but the decision will nonetheless be “But that’s OK, because the bill made it through Congress, so all the rest is just technicalities.”
“What does it take before people realize that the courts simply validate and enforce what the oligarchy wants to do?”
because conservatives and rightwingers DONT GIVE UP! Sheeesh, you sound like Harry Reid during he Iraq War that we should all surrender because it’s over. I don;t care if they take it to SCOTUS 1 million times, keep doing it. One has to to capitulate eventually.
ditto that.
one more diagnostic, applied to the sick man of the Constitution. One more diagnostic to indicate that some kind of change to the USSC is necessary, for future generations.
Well, we probably need to get past the idea that the final say on the limits of the authority of the feral government rest with a branch of....the feral government. The only alternative I’ve been able to come up with is a panel made up of Constitutional-level state judges. I don’t know, I’m sure people can come up with better ideas than I can, but I know something needs to change.
Since Roberts deemed it to be a tax, there is no way around the origination clause.
