SO ...

If this is true, how can the government mandate that automobile insurance be purchased?

Just askin ...

[Wolfie]

I would have thought that exempting hard-up corporations like McDonald’s from covering their workers would have cleared a lot of this up.

Pence is a bit too cocky about this. What SCOTUS decides boils down to how Anthony Kennedy feels about the issue at that particular time. Although Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Roberts seem to be pretty good at persuading him.

>>you cannot compel the American people to purchase health insurance just as a function of being an American citizen.”

But they are NOT doing that (for ALL Americans).

Muslims are exempt from having to purchase it!

The Supreme Court should Overturn Obamacare just because of all the lies told: you can keep your health insurance, it's not a tax, it's a tax, would not add one penny to the deficit, cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, etc.

Use this as an example to stop lying to the voters. We need Truth in Taxation.

[Little Ray]

Sure they will. Just like they did when Campaign Finance Reform was brought to them... (though, they did eventually get it right, when the Gub’mint argued it could suppress books...).

The Supreme Court is likely to overturn key elements of it, says Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.

If the Supreme Court has ruled that the President does not have a line item veto power, then why does the Supreme Court think it has the power of a line item veto? If a 2200 page bill has any provision in it that it deemed to be unconstitutional, then the entire 2200 pages should be deemed invalid.

RE: Supreme Court Will Overturn Obamacare

Repeat after me -— JUSTICE ANTHONY KENNEDY. It will all depend on which side of the bed he wakes up in.

[dr_who]

No more wishful thinking from conservatives. Do or die.

[GSWarrior]

If Obamacare is completely tossed there will likely be a spate of civil unrest, protests, looting, vandalism, etc.

“The Supreme Court is likely to overturn key elements of it”

I wasn’t aware the Supreme Court has Line Item Veto power. Nice.

I was always under the understanding a bill is either legal or it isn’t, and that’s what the courts are supposed to be making decisions on.
