.... it is because Judge Kennedy is EXEMPT,
as his is family, and his staff.

SCOTUS is proudly EXEMPT
and now “Laws” and taxes are for the non-EXEMPT, ONLY.

[ArtDodger]

Or... because pressure has been applied to the judges. Bribes, blackmail or a combination of both...
This case certainly isn’t be judged by its constitutionality....

What about the OTHER 300+ million, are they NOT in turmoil?

[bert]

Turmoil is not at issue. the plain meaning of the text of the law s what’s at issue

[Chode]

since when has turmoil been a consideration when it comes to deciding the law?

[Little Ray]

Kennedy is the swing vote. Oh, well.

[Amagi]

Yo, Kennedy, the issue for you is constitutionality which clearly ObamaCare is NOT?
As to turmoil, have you been paying attention to the turmoil ObamaCare has already caused?
Can you fathom the greater turmoil yet to come from the full implementation of ObamaCare?

This article is utter stupidity. He was asking questions at oral argument, nothing more.

[TexasFreeper2009]

turmoil was exactly the point. It was written that way to encourage the states to set up their own exchanges. If the states don't want the grief, they can simply set up their own exchanges.

But Obama never thought the conservative states would be willing to put up with the turmoil, and it's not the job of the supreme court to bail him out after the fact. The law is clearly written, no subsidies for states without exchanges.

This is the same man who will force homosexual marriage on America this summer.

[Lady Heron]

So much for law.

Gee, wonder why funding DHS doing Obama's dirty work on immigration is a problem.

Laws do not matter if dems get stuff implemented illegally.

He may be indicating that the issue is ‘non-severable’- therefore the whole law must be overturned.

But you really can’t tell much from questioning.

It seemed to me that Justice Roberts was pointing out if the language was left as is and the Supremes assumed Congress’ intention was to allow people to get health care subsidies even if their states had not set up anything, that a future President could block it by executive action. We really don’t want our goverment run by royal decree, do we?
