The thing is the American people were against this law. So maybe he should say the Politicians are the stupid ones because they voted for it not the people.
I hope that guy burns in hell with the rest of them and this includes the Cheif Justice Mr. Roberts.

A statement like that leaves no doubt at all about the totalitarian “Master over slave” mentality that pervades all politics in Wash. DC today.

On another thread on FR today appears the following:
"One of the key architects of of Obamacare, Jonathan Gruber, has explained that they specifically wanted subsidies available only to the state-established exchanges - to provide a strong carrot and stick to Governors and State legislatures to play ball with the Federal Government. They simply did NOT expect 36 States to turn down free Fed money."This statement should be bolded and circulated widely.
Frank's statement, while he may not have intended to be so "frank" (pun intended), is a statement of fact which indicates the sheer arrogance of the Obama-Reid-Pelosi team and their rubber stamp Democrats.
Arrogance and an underestimation of the intelligence and will of "the People" who are their bosses in the States brought about this "mistake" which the Supreme Court should not legitimize by allowing any other interpretation of the word "mistake" when applied to the abominable Trojan Horse legislation masked as having to do with health care in America.
Gruber's description, coming from a complicit architect of ACA, should be accepted as evidence of intent, and "the People" and "States" have spoken!

In case the video is 'disappeared', here is a transcript:
- Video: Gruber: "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage." Video clip culled from University of Pennsylvania's Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics 2013 Plenary Session (Annual Health Economics Conference - AHEC) held on Oct. 17-18, 2013 during which MIT's health economist/ObamaCare architect, Jonathan Gruber spoke of how health economics principles can inform and improve the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
Transcript:
- 0:00 It's just, you can't do it, politcally. You just literally cannot do it.
- 0:03 Ok. Transparent financing..unless we have transparent financing and thenhave transparent spending
- 0:09 I mean...this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure the CBO did not square the mandate as taxes
- 0:14 If the CBO squared the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Ok.
- 0:18 So it's written to do that.
- 0:19 In terms of, in terms of risk rated subsidies.
- 0:22 You get a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in
- 0:24 You made explicit the healthy people pay in and sick people get money
- 0:27 It would not have passed. Ok.
- 0:29 Just like how people, transparent...lack of transparency is a huge political advantage
- 0:34 And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter, or whatever
- 0:37 But basically, that was really, really critical to get the thing to pass
- 0:42 And, you know, its the second best argument.
- 0:44 Look, I wish Mark was right, we could make it all transparent
- 0:46 But, I'd rather have this law, than not. So, it's kind of like his reporter's story.
- 0:49 You know, yeah. There are things that I wish I could change but I'd rather have this law than not.

You are correct, whether the court admits this as evidence or not, for the ordinary person, this is the smoking gun which completely undercuts the argument mad by the ObamaCare people

This one is much, much better that the one I linked to earlier.
It shows Gruber first lying about it on Matthews show, and then of him lecturing a class, and speaking the truth.
