Another consequence of passing a 2,000 page bill without having read it first.
There’s already been one federal judge who was ruled “of course they meant that to apply to the federal exchange as well”.
And he’s absolutely wrong.
I don’t have references, but I distinctly remember that, in order to get the CBO cost number under the magic $1T mark, one of the modifications to the bill was to not provide subsidies for the federal exchange, assuming (hoping) that the states would all run their own exchanges. Or perhaps they intended to change it after the fact, once the numbers no longer mattered, but by then, they didn’t have the votes.
In any event, Congress intentionally excluded the federal exchange from using subsidies, and the IRS regulations and the lower court ruling violate both the law as written and contemporaneous information regarding Congress’ intent.
I thought the four scariest words were “the Secretary shall determine...”
George is kind of late to the state/fed exchange subsidy/penalty party.
FR has been on this for months if not years.
God bless Oklahoma.
"Liverpool Care Pathway"....
130,000 elderly patients killed every year by ‘death pathway’, claims leading UK doctor

LONDON, June 21, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An eminent British doctor told a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine in London that every year 130,000 elderly patients that die while under the care of the National Health Service (NHS) have been effectively euthanized by being put on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), a protocol for care of the terminally ill that he described as a “death pathway.”
Whatever NSA files they’ve got on John Roberts, seems like they will allow this to pass as well.
The Governing Class is so invested in ObamaCare that the plain meaning of words is no barrier to inventing a way to keep imposing it on us. Just recall what Justice Roberts did to re-invent it as a legal tax.
What is the “ACA?” Is it anything like ObamaCare? :)
I don’t think this suit has a chance.
The exemptions provided by Sebelius and Obama to favored groups should provide the best legal fodder for nullifying Obamacare.
When you are forced to do something by the government that others are not forced to do, then equal protection laws are violated.
I believe that once someone pays a fine for not having insurance, they then have standing to sue under equal protection.
Obama (and the Dems) would absolutely LOVE to replace Congress with the IRS.
The call is coming from inside the house!
OK, that’s eight words.
George went a whole article without an amusing anecdote about Roger Hornsby?
OK, that’s twelve words.
