Fed Appeals trumps circuit all day
“…a literal reading of the statute undoubtedly accords more closely with their [the plaintif’s] position.”
Gosh. Who ever interprets the words in a law or contract “literally”? /s
They really think we are that stupid. Sadly, enough of us are. Those three judges have no respect for the meaning of words or the rule of law. Why should I?
These judges are insulting our intelligence.
“You have to pass the bill to have no idea what it means.”
But won't SCOTUS wait until the matter has been finally decided in the DC Circuit?
I don't agree that the judicial torment has to do with the meaning of a clearly worded clause in the law.
The torment arises over how far to compromise ones honesty, dignity and self respect when bending over backwards to protect the incompetent and feckless airhead we have as president.

Yet another assault on America by Judicial Activists.
In other words, party affiliation and activism is what these clown “judges” use to make their decisions. Our “judicial” system is the biggest circus to ever come down the pike.
There was a time when courts refused to try to read stuff into poorly drafted legislation and would just uphold the letter of the law and advise the legislature that if they actually intended something different than what was written, that they amend the law accordingly.
These courts know that there is no way even a word of this law is going to get “amended” without a complete overhaul, they are forcing interprtations that will rescue the law rather than leaving it up to congress to fix it.
This is a dishonest opinion.
This reminds me of how "tormented" Bill Clinton was when he asked if being "alone" with Monica Lewinksy meant "alone in the Oval Office," or "alone in the larger West Wing?"
Someone is sure to argue that when Congress meant "established by the state," they didn't mean the sovereign states in the Constitution, they meant the larger "federal state of the union."

saw this on a comment from another board.. worth a watch.
“Jonathan Gruber, ACA architect, on video, at the 31:30 minute mark, stating for the public to know that without a State exchange, there are no subsidies”
Aside from the Supremes, whose decision carries more weight, the Fourth Circuit, or the Appellate?

There’s no “news” today, no “devastating blow” to ObamaCare. The 3 judge D.C. panel is meaningless, as is the 4th Circuit. Obama stacked the full D.C. circuit expressly to uphold ObamaCare, and they will do exactly that. This was the ONLY reason Harry Reid did away with the filibuster - in order to pack the D.C.court before the GOP took the Senate. Today’s news is meaningless, sorry to say.
Looks like the two courts coordinated a split in order to punt to SC.
What a crock. Congress should be held accountable for writing their own laws.
