Welcome to the USSA.

DC is a sick joke.

[Jim W N]

But SCOTUS is not constitutionally authorized to make national law is it? It can only decide individual cases and controversies which is the extent of its constitutional authority isn’t it?

How far we have fallen. Lord, bring a miracle to get back on track as a Free Constitutional Republic.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Note that this tie affirms the 9th Circuit decision but does not set a new precedent.

[Samwell Tarly]

How did Roberts vote?

Or do we have to guess?

[US_MilitaryRules]

What good is the SC if all they are going to do is vote party lines?

[Argus]

Forced contributions to the Democratic Party AOK.

Not even the LA Times could manage to say fair share fee without putting it in quotes.

This is putting the responsibility back on the legislatures. Where it needs to be.

[BuckeyeTexan]

One sentence is all we get on this one because it was a tie. It was pretty clear during oral arguments that Roberts would vote with the other conservatives.

PER CURIAM.
The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided Court.

To those who did not vote for Romney in the last election, “thanks a pantload.” Your refusal to go with the lesser of two evils gave us the greater of two evils. Lovely. And the stakes will be even higher in this election. It’s existential, people. We’re on a knife-edge.

[JSteff]

Those on FR who either did NOT vote against the left, or failed to vote at all are as culpable as those who actually voted for the left (OBAMA and minions).
Go back and research my name and posts. OVER and OVER I warned this would happen. Also said over and over that we were just to close to the line and as the conservatives SCOTUS we were/ NOW are in trouble.
Romney was no good but is he this bad?
FOOLS!!!
Choke on this SCOTUS ruling. This is (as I noted) exactly what was MOST important to the left... NOT the Presidency, but SCOTUS!
lIVE WITH IT NOW AND FOR DECADES Fools!!!

This is what I was caught up in for 25 years. I was forced to pay thousands of dollars a year to an organization that was working against what I believed in.

(insert profanity)

Critical case. Tie goes to the runner in baseball, in court, I guess it goes in favor of not overturning a lower court?

Damn we miss you, Justice Scalia.
