Oh noes!! Now what Batman??
The document is very clear. And the purpose was to have the exchanges run by the states...period.
Roberts will rescue them.
Kudos to judge White, he’s right.
This only works when a “federal judge” sides with the liberals.
Conservative judges, not so much.
SWEET!!!!
The man with the pen and phone will just write another executive order making it okay.
Does anyone know the actual effect this ruling has on IRS operations. I assume a time was left open for appeals. But would the judge have any power to enforce his ruling. And if so then what kind of penalties could he enact to force compliance with the ruling. Won’t the IRS just laugh at him in this day and age.
Finally a beheading that might provoke a comment from the White House.
This should be a slam dunk even for the most retarded court. It was in an early draft and removed.
I miss the rule of law, but from time to time I wonder if it might return. My guess: probably not while the druggie is in our White House.
The court is correct. ObamaCare explicitly requires state exchanges for the subsidies, and even the petty thug in charge lacks the authority to spend that money in violation of the law.

“Will Supreme court weigh in?”
More than likely, since there are now enough conflicting rulings from different circuit courts, even if the DC court of appeals rules in Obama’s favor.
It appears this judge based his ruling on the common sense and constitutional view that congress is one entity regardless of which political party has majority control at any given time and if that body wants the law to be changed, they have the power to do so. The previous rulings upholding the IRS regulations obviously bought into the liberal view that since the political winds have changed and the congress as now constituted does not desire to change the law, it is legitimate for the courts to make the corrections they believe the original congress would make if they were still in control.
I tend to think that when this gets to the Supreme Court, at least one and possibly two of the liberal justices will uphold this opinion.
does anyone expect the government will abide by the ruling anyway?

Since Obamacare is perpetually being “legislated” (rewritten) as an open-ended law, this little,problem should be solved easily with a new edict.
