No excerpt. It's a PDF. Scalia's dissenting opinion begins on page 27.
(Excerpt) Read more at supremecourt.gov ...
State officials in Virginia refused to create a State Exchange so they wouldn’t be on the hook for service provision. Instead, the Feds bore the burden and created an Exchange with the understanding that this included the IRS applying a tax credit to Virginians. This tax credit forced the income threshold down and ultimately expanded coverage to thousands more Virginians.
So because the credit increases the income of the petitioners, they’re now forced to buy health insurance or be penalized by the IRS. That’s why they went to the Supreme Court who basically said that Virginia should have known before agreeing to the Feds creating the Exchange.
Virginia didn't agree to the federal exchange being created. HHS created it when Virginia said it would not create its own. No State could prevent HHS from creating a federal exchange in a State that did not create its own exchange.
Multiculturalism we know...welcome to “Multi-justicism”.
There is no rule of law. The Federal government is an illegitimate predatory power.
His dissent means nothing. It won’t influence anyone to do anything.
Cheering over a dissent is useless.
The decision is all that counts.
hate to agree with the Left....but he is a chimp.
....”There is no rule of law. The Federal government is an ‘illegitimate’ predatory power”......
‘We’re’ under a coup Imo.....operating as such but without ‘known’ violence to achieve it.
The decision today should be a signal for all conservatives to come together and rally behind one candidate for president. A conservative president can remake the court for years to come.
A fraud.
btt
BTTT!
Our Founding Fathers’ Grand Experiment has ended.
” Scalia is correct saying “Words no longer have meaning”....”
You ain’t kidding - now we have male wives and female husbands and will the kids of the sister of the male wife have to call the male wife Auntie?
...”As it was in the days of Noah…”....
This world is now ENTERTAINED by the very things that God DESTROYED the old world and Sodom for in Noah’s and Lot’s day!
Gen 6:5 .....’And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.... The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.... And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.’
The Holy Spirit, Jesus told us, currently convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgement. But the New Testament speaks of a time when ‘the sinful hearts of men will not be restrained’......
.... as sure as He judged the world the first time, so shall it be done again, and just as the judgement of the flood covered the entire earth so shall the entire earth be affected by the next judgement.
Thanks for the link, that was a good read.
Not true. That dissent and its appropriate legal conclusions can be cited.
Not only that, but there's a plethora of star points in the dissent should any candidate be wise enough to seize upon them, in the cause of starving the Beast, or rewriting Bobocare into oblivion...
I’ll grant you your point, but note that it turns on how one chooses to define “legally meaningless.” The point I intended but failed to make was that the dissent is void of legal force, not that it was void of legal argument or persuasive material useful outside of the law, such as scoring political points.
You’re presuming a ‘conservative’ would not get the current blow-back from the House, Senate and SCOTUS.
Considering that SCOTUS has blatantly subverted the Constitution, I fail to see what any further President will be able to do anyway.
At long last some are opening their eyes to the death of our Republic. Long live our Republic.
