I don’t understand why suddenly the SC is interested in molding the HC law so that it can pass the specifications of the court. Why isn’t it either constitutional or unconstitutional as written? It is not the job of the court to rewrite law.

Question. Didn’t SCOTUS declare part of the law unconstitutional medicaid? If they didn’t address the severability issue, then by declaring part of it void, didn’t they void the whole thing? What am I missing here?

I was wondering the same thing. Rule on it as it was written,not as it should be.

The the average American citizen who is not an attorney, this bill is clearly unconstitutional. They can legalese their way out of it and call the ACA a tax and punt it back to the legislative branch. . but it still is, as most of us understand it, unconstitutional and an assault on our individual liberties. "Legalese" and "Tricks" don't go over well with most Americans. . . November 6th folks. . Rally the troops!
