...there are going to be a lot of “Pride parades’ this weekend (and a HUGE one in Seattle on Sunday). If the ruling is released tomorrow, I expect those parades to be extra boisterous (and undeniably foul).

Stay out of downtown Chicago this Sunday. The queers will be having a field day.

We have reached the stage where the law means whatever the powerful say the law is whenever they say it. The SC is just the window dressing on the acts of a tyrannical government and the total empowerment of the IRS to do whatever it wishes.

I just read the syllabus of KING ET AL. v. BURWELL and you are so right. The last paragraph of it starts by reading:

Petitioners’ plain-meaning arguments are strong, but the Act’s context and structure compel the conclusion that Section 36B allows tax credits for insurance purchased on any Exchange created under the Act.

It goes on say this is because it was the intent of Congress (i.e. Pelosi's and Reid's Congress).

So how many of this “bunch of gutless worthless people” will we vote out as soon as possible?.
If anyone votes a sitting, US Senator or Congressman, to return to Washout, DC, they are assisting our demise!
Revamp Washout, DC( Dirty Congress).

"Its time we moved on.....its law folks. Stop wringing our hands the court has taken this out of the political arena."

Politics is war by other means, and that is what it would take to stop a tyrannical unitary government.

It’s also the anniversary of the Lawrence ruling.

And on its tombstone, the epitaph needs to read “Died of One Man, One Vote”.

We’re seeing a combination of Alexander Tytler and Idiocracy. A public thats figured out they can vote themselves money out of the treasury, but are too stupid to understand that such actions end in disaster.

"A “Pride” parade? Keep your children home or expose them to naked perverts marching in the streets, simulating acts of sodomy."

For states like NJ, it means anyone can have their health care paid for by other people, without being on Medicaid.

And because NJ did not join the exchange, NJ will not be forced to absorb the cost of the exchange after a certain amount of time, when the gravy train shuts down.
at least until obama and his butt buddies write a new law to change that and send nj a bill

Nope the cost for NJ healthcare will be absorbed by all tax payers everywhere.

But what will the cost be to those states who did join the exchanges?
Their subsidies will end, and their taxpayers will have to pay more to make up for the loss.

Congress can now pass a “law” that is simply a blank piece of paper. It can mean anything and everything the executive branch deems it. That is what this ruling means.

It’s the picayune size of Greece’s debt that allows it to stumble on.

That’s not an option for as huge a debt as ours.

Orwellian doublespeak:

(b) When read in context, the phrase “an Exchange established by the State under [42 U. S. C. §18031]” is properly viewed as ambiguous. The phrase may be limited in its reach to State Exchanges. But it could also refer to all Exchanges—both State and Federal—for purposes of the tax credits. If a State chooses not to follow the directive in Section 18031 to establish an Exchange, the Act tells the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish “such Exchange.” §18041. And by using the words “such Exchange,” the Act indicates that State and Federal Exchanges should be the same. But State and Federal Exchanges would differ in a fundamental way if tax credits were available only on State Exchanges—one type of Exchange would help make insurance more affordable by providing billions of dollars to the States’ citizens; the other type of Exchange would not. Several other provisions in the Act—e.g., Section 18031(i)(3)(B)’s requirement that all Exchanges create outreach programs to “distribute fair and impartial information concerning . . . the availability of premium tax credits under section 36B”—would make little sense if tax credits were not available on Federal Exchanges.

The argument that the phrase “established by the State” would be superfluous if Congress meant to extend tax credits to both State and Federal Exchanges is unpersuasive. This Court’s “preference for avoiding surplusage constructions is not absolute.” Lamie v. United States Trustee, 540 U. S. 526, 536. And rigorous application of that canon does not seem a particularly useful guide to a fair construction of the Affordable Care Act, which contains more than a few examples of inartful drafting. The Court nevertheless must do its best, “bearing in mind the ‘fundamental canon of statutory construction that the words of a statute must be read in their context and with a view to their place in the overall statutory scheme.’ ” Utility Air Regulatory Group v. EPA, 573 U. S. ___, ___. Pp. 9–15

The IMF is begging the Fed not to quit printing money.
I took that to mean that the rest of the world cannot stand for us to end our print-and-spend ways.

If the ChiComs call our loan, and that means we have to quit buying stuff from China, who is actually hurt worse?

So. I guess we all still think that our votes matter?

This is merely a “translegal” decision. In the same way that being “transexual” means you’re whatever sex you think you are, “translegal” means the law is defined however the kleptocrats thinks it’s defined.

What are YOU going to do about it?

What do you want US to do about it?

There are pastors.....even as we type.....who are fully prepared to go to jail if they are coerced / bullied to marry gays.

We all should have already drawn our line in the sand.....
I have
Have you?

Our votes matter a little bit. With R presidents, for every Roberts we get one Scalia. For every Kennedy we get one Thomas. With Rat presidents, all we get are radical libs.

In the R primaries, every candidate should be asked about what kind of judges they would appoint.

What are YOU going to do about it?

I am working towards going full "Galt". I won't go into full detail, but the fact is, I'm ready, and every day that passes is another day that has been put to use preparing.

What do you want US to do about it?

Stop consenting. "Governments...derive their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed." So, STOP CONSENTING. We consent to a corrupt tax system each time we file our taxes. We consent to a collapsing / unsustainable federal reserve every time we accept or spend an FRN. We consent to the destruction of our 2A rights every time we step into a gun store and submit to an Unconstitutional background check.

STOP CONSENTING.

There are pastors.....even as we type.....who are fully prepared to go to jail if they are coerced / bullied to marry gays.

And there are folks such as myself who are ready to and are planning to stand with our pastors and shield them from being arrested in the first place, come what may.

Have you?

I have, and I won't accept the tyranny any longer. I will stand. I will not be silenced. I am prepared to die to defend my God given rights.

1. Flesh out the concept of Conservatism without Ballots. conservatism and freedom are life choices that for the most part don’t rely on getting the permission of the kleptocrats.

2. Stop wasting time and resources on a rotten and rigged electoral system. LIVE FREELY AND CONSERVATIVELY.
