King v. Burwell, the court case that will determine if Obamacare’s language about federal subsidies and their availability on exchanges “established by the state”, will be heard in oral arguments at the Supreme Court on March 4, with a decision to come down later this year.

Paging Chief Justice John Roberts, Valerie Jarrett on line 1.
They’ve still got whatever they blackmailed Roberts with last time
I’d say that is a pretty good assumption considering how corrupt and lawless DC and the courts now are.

If you had the results of the NSA spying on the members of the SCOTUS, then you wouldn’t worry about the results of the court case either.

Someone with a SET for the Lord’s sake.
GD Gestapo state— time for the Maquis, the resistance.
They are BLACKMAILING John Roberts because he adopted his two IRISH children ILLEGALLY! Obama will get anything he wants. PATHETIC.
See #8.
CONgress can fix this tomorrow by telling the supreme Court to “remain silent” on this issue.
Obama will win this. You know how I know? Simple. Obama phoned it in. Just like the debates and everything else he does.
He doesnt even bother to make it interesting.
It reminds me of a WC FIELDS line. He is playing poker and a fan see’s him on the set and says,”Is that a game of chance”? To which WC Fields says, “Not the way I play it!”
The game is rigged
Freegards
LEX
Exactly. You beat me to it.
They must know something we don’t....
Does that mean if the GOP wins the White House they can blackmail him too?
I would like to see that train wreck of a decision from the US Supreme Court ... :-) ...
They lost the Hobby Lobby case.
Money can buy a lot of votes.
They haven’t even heard the case.
That doesn’t matter when spouting off about a conspiracy theory ... LOL ...
