Good grief can this court get any worse? Sadly yes!

Anyone who doesn't think and understand that the only possible solution for this mess is widespread death and destruction are classic examples of Patton's "... craven lake-folk, smeared with fat,..."

The American Marxists have planned, schemed, and worked for 110 years to get to this point. It is ludicrous to think that Reagan's prophecy of a "...thousand years of darkness..." can be avoided any other way.

In my view, the worst possible outcome of this Supreme Court battle is that the Court call the mandate a tax. Everyone recognizes that it is NOT a tax (including the acting White House budget director), but a ruling to the contrary would delay a ruling on the health care law until as late as 2016.

If you Google "Anti-Injunction Act", there are many web pages of analysis devoted to it. Here is the partial text of one of them:

"The most sensible reading of the Anti-Injunction Act’s text and purpose is that it does not apply until the authority to assess and collect taxes has come into being, just as it does not apply after that authority has been exercised."

The authority to tax does not come into being until 2015 ...

Well, sounds like the Roberts Court is going to be the rubber stamp for 0bamaCare, just as it was for the dubious inauguration of the Kenyan Usurper, sworn in THREE TIMES by Roberts himself.

Hey, maybe the next appointment to the SCOTUS can be somebody like Roland Freisler? (Hell, maybe he’s already there)

“Good grief can this court get any worse?”

Yes, and that’s very scary. We can’t afford another liberal appointment.

ObamaCare is already collapsing under its own weight. This is evidenced by almost 2,000 waivers granted to businesses and unions and the declaration by most states that they can't or won't fund the expansion of Medicaid required by the new law. And this is just the beginning. A monolithic, Soviet style bureaucracy will be needed to administer this Rube Goldberg contraption.

[Jacquerie]

The rats included several years of funding in Obamacare.

[SueRae]

I think I’m going to be ill.. Our ONLY option is to roundly defeat the 0bama in Novemebr and overwhelmingly take both houses.

President Gingrich will sign the Repeal Bill of Obamacare on January 21, 2013.

THANK YOU! You just lowered my BP 10 points.

The only Problem I see and one it seems the Cowards on the Bench have,is they dont have the Balls to say to one of the Litigants,make up your mind on how you want to argue this Case,do you contend it is a Tax or not.
In public they are Contending it is Not a Tax and that is what the President has said in Public in Interviews,but in court they are arguing it is because they know thats the only way they win. To me whether it is a tax or not The Freakin Government is going to have the Power to do whatever the hell they want to do as long as they call it a tax. How Crazy is that.
You will eat arugala because we will fine you if you dont and we can do it because it is a Tax .

DO YOUR JOBS!

The Bill to repeal it would have to go throught the Senate first before anyone could sign it.

Reid has not brought to the floor.

We would have to have a GOP Senate to send it to the President.

[grey_whiskers]

Aren't these *one-year* waivers to FOO?

IBTZ.

[tobyhill]

Very simple reason. The court is expecting it to be repealed by congress and the next President and then it will save them a headache.

[EBH]

This is the problem when there are too many laws...

There are just as many loopholes.

[DH]

2016 huh?

That’s exactly what I would expect from a “stacked” court. Doesn’t it seem strange that the decision will be made AFTER Obama’s reign?
