How can the federal government, empowered as the central government, also be a state which does not carry such authority? Because IF the feds can be considered states, then the states can by the same logic (or lack there of) exorcise the same authority as the federal government.
Good point. Then "it's just a typo" becomes a possible argument. They'd have to go back to some of the floor debate to divine the intent of Congress (when really it's the intent of the staffers and the outside leftist organizations who wrote the law).
A corporation is nothing more than a group of people banding together for common purpose and legal protections.
Money is an essential part of free speech in that freedom of the press to print what you want is irrelevant if the government can prevent you from buying the printing press in the first place.
(on the left, they think of it as a simple “typo” and on the right, there’s some glee over “finding out what’s in it after it’s passed”).

They both see it as bread and circuses ,, a tug of war that can go on forever ... all the while their subjects remain bound and are too stupid to see that they’re being played by both sides.
The adminitration will request that the full court vote on it. The administration will be upheld since Democrats appointed most of the judged. It’ll be appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will decide not to hear it.
As I said...anything is possible.
This is why I refer to it as 0bamaRobertsCare.
0bama created it but Roberts sanctioned it. Roberts should get equal billing and equal blame for 0bamaRobertsCare.
A blackmail victim who remain silent and does the bidding of the blackmailer is every bit as guilty as the blackmailer.
Every time someone does something they don’t agree with they talk of threats, blackmail, etc.
I’m with you. I don’t think it’s required when they just have no compass. Maybe that is hard for some people to accept so they make up excuses.
To me everything is as it seems.....not a conspiracy.
We were talking yesterday about the Origination Clause and Roberts waiting for it - and standing - to work its way through the courts and back to him.
Roberts will rule that the Federal Government is a state since it has a State Department.
I don’t think Roberts is waiting for anything. It is what it is. He believes in it. He could have shot it down the first time instead of bending his logic into a pretzel to support it.
The only thing Roberts believes in is himself.
He is being blackmailed.
I dunno.... he causes botch of zero’s swearing in multiple times... declares SCOTUS isn’t responsible to fix idiot voters’ mistakes..
Public Health Service Act of 1944.
If relevant context of termss used in ACA extends past the ACA to other acts, then by the ssame logic a “State” must mean a State as defined in all those other acts.
Hopefully Halbig plaintiffs can have some fun and quote this in their upcoming appellate filings...
The Fed is not a state. It exists because the states allow it to exist.
