Oh my: Is Ginsburg writing the main ObamaCare dissent?

Guest on Hugh Hewitt yesterday said that Chief Justice Roberts will (most likely) be writing the health care smack-down.

If Obama”care” does survive, then I favor Regional Areas of the former United States of America. I think the States that the XL Pipeline will run through makes excellent sense for one Region, called The Texas Region. The Mississippi Region would be those States that the Mississippi River runs through. Pacific and Atlantic Regions are obvious, as are the Rocky Mountain States.

I'm in AZ and I'm fine with that, as long as we don't get stuck with CA. We're in the 9th Circuit, and it's a royal pain we can't pass laws in AZ without CA's say-so.

So was the issue of severability already addressed?

This is a very interesting side note. In the absence of a severability clause and a SC decision that does not strike down the whole thing or leave it completely intact, we are left with the result that severability clauses have no meaning. Just litigate, strike out the part that you don't like and let the rest stand. The effect on legislation in the future is immense. The justices would be destroting thae legal structure they so carefully built over such a long time.

If Obama does not get his way on this matter he may just fire 3 or 4 SC justices.

“destroting thae “ = “destroying the”

According to those in the know, most decisions are rendered shortly after the arguments, thus this case should have been decided a long time ago.

My understanding is that they took the first vote shortly after arguments, and that's probably when Kagan let the Prince know that he lost. The decisions take time to write and come out later.

Given the flippant absurdity in Nancy Pelosi's handling of the bill: “We have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what is in it.” The entire bill should be scrapped.

Not to mention all the Dims who said it was too long to read and would require an army of lawyers to understand...

I live in Texas, and we have 1/2 of the Mexican/US border.

Between your State and mine we should be able to work out a border deal with the sorry Democrats in New Mexico.

Maybe Nevada can protect your West Flank from California.

I’d love to see your Sheriff Arpaio be the Head of the Federal Department of Justice when we vote out or IMPEACH Obama.

Heard something very interesting yesterday about the Arizona rulings. Arizona mandated State criminal prosecution of a federal law. If, I understood correctly you can break certain laws but not face criminal prosecution. The three provisions struck down did impinge on Fed law by requiring prosecution of a federal statute where federal law does not require prosecution. The commentator was suppose to be a conservative former SCOTUS court clerk. She said there is a big difference between Obamacare and Arizona and we should not try and guess how the court will act based on the Arizona rulings.

What happens when ObamaCare is struck down in entirety and ObamaCare issues and executive order making ObamaCare the law of the land?
