Technically, that is not germane.

That's not their job. Their job is to interpret the law.

“If your argument is accepted,” Kennedy told Carvin, and “the states were told to establish exchanges in order to receive money [for their citizens] or send the insurance market into a death spiral; isn’t that coercion? Under your argument, there would be a serious constitutional problem.”

But the problem isn't with the argument, it's with the statute. It only provides another reason to strike it down. That's the point to make to Kennedy.

The one thing that is most disconcerting about SCOTUS is that there is always 4 votes for the libs, and then they only need one vote to win.

They NEVER judge a case on its merits or on the Constitution, what a disgrace.

Three bitches and a fag, what a combo.

This will not end well.

First, I do not think Roberts will vote to gut Obamacare after the lengths he went to last time to rewrite the whole thing as just one big tax bill. From oral arguments this morning, it appears that Kennedy will also flip this time. So it is extremely likely that the Court will rewrite Obamacare to extend the subsidies by either a 5/4 or 6/3 vote.

In the unlikely event that the Court actually follows the law and throws out the subsidies then we will have a replay of the amnesty budget debacle.

The Democrats and the lamestream media will loudly blame the evil Republicans for stealing subsidies and insurance from millions of poor people who are now relying on it. The House will respond by passing a bill extending subsidies for this year and then terminating or scaling back Obamacare. The Democrats in the Senate will insist on a “clean” bill just extending the subsidies.

The Republicans will then cave and that will be that.

There is only one thing we can count on —

AT THE END, after all the work, legal maneuvers and arguments, THE REPUBLICANS WILL CAVE.

Supreme court’s function should not be concerned with the ramifications of their interpretation of law. Their job is to decide constitutionality of the issue before them, little else.
