Liberals think all actions of the Liberal Messiah are unrepealable and superior to all other law. I’m sure the Ninth Circus Court of Anarchists will agree and then be reversed by the Supreme Court.
Well Alex, I'd begin with the states that have Attorneys General that have a 'D' attached to their campaign literature.
Not sure where this is going to go, other than to the USSC. Once the Federal Courts rule that’s the only place left to go. Bring it on, Dems!
How predictable and what a waste of State taxpayer money.
Since the subsidies have already been declared illegal by a federal court, shouldn’t the offending AG(s) be disbarred for frivolous lawsuits?
Roberts was intimidated by the Liberal Messiah and his minions. He doesn't have to worry about that now.
A coalition of U.S. states will file a new lawsuit, same old, same old. Total BS, same old Dem run states....
Section 1402 of the PPACA:
“An issuer of a qualified health plan making reductions under this subsection shall notify the Secretary of such reductions and the Secretary shall make periodic and timely payments to the issuer equal to the value of the reductions.”
The reductions aren’t illegal.
I believe the problem is that Congress never appropriated the money as required by Article I Section 9 of the Constitution.
“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law”
I’m not sure if the states have standing.
They aren’t insurance companies or covered persons.
..."The Secretary can so decide"........throughout the 3000 pages of Obamacare that the dims passed.
Also, Mr. President, will you please cancel the waivers that Congress is using? Thank you.
Good luck finding a Judge.
The Senate is slow walking all nominees
To kill two birds, high taxes and expensive Obamacare, with one stone, patriots need to support Pres. Trump in working with the states to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A) imo. (The 16th Amendment can disappear too.)
From related threads …
After 17A is repeated and unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the states will probably find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with.
The states would then be able to afford to start their own individual, customized healthcare and retirement plans, also increase funding for public schools, police and fire departments for starters. Also repair infrastructure.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the primary ballots and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day 2018.
These funds, from what I understand, are not appropriated by Congress and thus are illegal.
Exactly. All Pres. Trump has to do with any ruling from a new suit is say that he’s sorry, he cannot undue the drop of the appeal. The matter has been decided by the federal court already. No more insurance company subsidies as per the federal ruling!
Sorry, meant for that reply to go to Labyrinthos in reply # 14.
So Roberts Court can screw up again.
Judges don't file lawsuits.
Given the subsidies were being spent illegally and without congressional authorization in the first place, kind of hard to see how they win this one.. but a liberal judge will invent a way
I’m sure these same states would be fine with Trump funding he wall without Congress’ approval. Doesn’t it suck hat you can’t be sure how the judge will rule? The country is almost a gonner
