Most Americans back the Supreme Court's decisions to legalize same sex marriage and to protect federal exchange subsidies
Americans approve of the two major decisions made by the Supreme Court last week, but they continue to view the two issues differently: there is majority support for a national right to same-sex marriage, but Americans in the latest Economist/YouGov Poll are still not convinced that the Affordable Care Act is working or is the right thing for the country.
Americans support the Court’s decision in King v. Burwell that those who purchased health insurance on the federal exchange could still receive federal subsidies, despite the wording in one section of the law that restricted those subsidies to insurance purchased on “State” exchanges. But just about four in ten continue to judge Obamacare as a failure, and only 28% call it a success. And while in the last year the percentage wanting to keep or expand the law has been generally larger than the percentage wanting to repeal it, there will continue to be attempts to overturn or de-fund the law.
Four in ten overall, and three-quarters of Republicans would support those efforts to de-fund the program. Nearly half think that the intense battles to eliminate the law have been worth it, even though the ACA so far has survived two appeals to the Supreme Court.

Your remarks are consistently depressing, hopeless, and generally dreaded on sight, imho.
Check out #26 up thread. Then, if that doesn’t help your p^$$ poor attitude, order a pacifier from Toys R Us.
I prefer ‘knees praying’
I prefer that too! Those with hope depend on it.
Rita, I ‘hope’ no more but I do ‘pray’ often
BS
This is why America is doomed. It is not the commie politicians. It is the immoral, uninformed electorate who votes for them. The electorate overall does not know the Constitution, and does not know what freedoms they have lost.
We are doomed because of them. Those who understand the fight at stake are too few to overcome the masses voting for entitlements, more stuff, and government dependency.

Ridiculous! Jesus is our HOPE and Hope is endless. Besides, despair is a mortal sin.
This is news the way Pravda reported 98% “yes” votes for the Communist party.
well, I’ve never said that ‘you girl’ were insane ...
You can poll 1,000 adults and find under fifty percent who know the vice president's name.
Poll that same 1,000 about whether "the federal government can continue paying subsidies to low income people who purchased health insurance on the federal exchange" and 50+ percent will say yes.
Ask them about Obamacare? Fifty-five percent will oppose. As if THEY want to pay for somebody else's Obamacare--maybe the simpleton's inevitable 10 percent.
Huh?
Who is insane?
As for calling out a consistently poor political attitude is my only complaint. My apologies if you found that complaint a cause for any leap to some conclusion on sanity.
never ... sanity of ‘Rita’ prevails ...
The 'two is a crowd' group?
