Ann Dunham had an abortion, what we have in so called leadership is the afterbirth!

Severability is not an issue. The contraception mandate is not in the law. It is in the regulations promulgated under the law.

Regulation can be declared unconstitutional. Then it’s back to the drawing board for the regulators.

No, he knows that the wrath of the left is far more savage than the wrath of the right, so he’ll reaffirm his first opinion.

“Last time was a slam dunk but ol Roberts changed it to a tax.”

Right. And many here on FR tried their best to spin it as ‘brilliant’ on Roberts’ part. The implication being that such a sly move somehow will result in 0care going the wa of the Smith-Corona typewriter.

We all know the rest of the story.

My guess....Roberts will say he and his wife wouldn’t have any kids if their mother would have had birth control. But he’s sure she would have made the right “choice” and he believes all women should have a “choice”.

I think you underestimate the arrogance of men in robes.
Embarrassed? I doubt it.

Well, the one way to shame an arrogant person is for them to be exposed as stupid, and that’s why I think Roberts wants this thing gone….

“Let me guess...it’s really just a “tax.”

Probably more like “the government has God given rights
too”.

“Roberts is soooo embarrassed”

That jacka$$ is about as embarrassed as Obama. He’s in on
the coups d’état.

How about we make contraceptives MANDATORY for anyone on the government teat. It would cost much less than the trillions of tax dollars taken from us to provide for the moochers. Add a huge fine for anyone making babies while on taxpayer life support.

I think if you read the opinion correctly, it was never ruled constitutional.

Part of it WAS in fact ruled unconstitutional, the part about the Medicaid funding.

The individual mandate part, well, the opinion basically says “Congress CAN do this if they call it a tax...”

But no where did the court acknowledge or deem that Congress HAD done it under their power to tax.

The first person who gets charged with a penalty is on the fast-track to take it back to SCOTUS!

And at that point, it WOULD be ruled unconstitutional - there’s no way around it.

I’ve never personally thought the First Amendment was Constitutional.
