Glimmers of hope for the Lefties. I should have made that clear.
I don’t think you can count on anything from the SCOTUS until the verdict is read.
It’ll pretty much be
“we want this to ‘work’, and if the law is in the way, the law be damned”
I await the final verdict.
RE: Some Glimmers Of Hope From SCOTUS In ACA Case
Haven’t we heard that before?
Justice Roberts sounded quite promising during the deliberations about the “penalty” for not buying health insurance until lo and behold, he magically re-imagined it to be a tax.
What’s to stop him from doing something similar again?
State nullification is such an elegant solution. It’ll get messy, but at least everything will be out in the open.
I am hoping and praying (though certainly not counting on it) that the recent information from Gruber that there were so many lies and manipulations and distortions used to pass Obamacare will cause the SCOTUS to rethink its original ruling.
The way the liberal judges reason is that it doesn’t matter how clear laws are when they are passed, if Obama wants them to mean something else they will accommodate Obama.
Kagan's claimed need for context would be more appropriately served by her first constructing a well-defined statement. Where there is an unambiguous, well-defined statement, such as contained in the ACA, no further obfuscatory harkening to an apparently-conflicting thoughts elsewhere in the ACA is called for. Scalia rules!
