U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor agreed with 19 States to declare the Affordable Care Act, (aka Obamacare) Unconstitutional because Congress revoked the tax penalty last year.

Obamacare is like Soylent Green. No one likes it.
No matter how its repackaged.
Well....what else is new?
nice
Obola had it reporting to the IRS.
Roberts will come up with some other logic to keep the law. He is an institutionalist if there ever was one.
Don’t underestimate Roberts and Kavanaugh.
They probably have more in common with the Pope than they do with conservatives.
He will not. His point was clear. This is a tax.
He stated clearly that the electorate will decide.
Obama regime objected to that but took it.
He’ll find another way to save it. He’s compromised, obviously.
******************************************
If he DOES create yet another way to save it, he will remove all doubt that he is compromised.
I doubt you are that naive.
The Supreme Court has been re-writing the Constitution for a minimum of 75 years.
I hope and pray that enough of the justices are not originalists and textualists that they do as you say.
But it is far from certain.
Should be "are originalists" arghhh...
They can hear it but the original ruling is gone.
You can call me whatever you want but is damn hard to hear a case you made based on a law that does not exist.
“Roberts has turned even more left since Trump got in. Probably will join the liberals 5-4.”
I wouldn’t count on Kavanaugh, either.
It's dead, Jim.
Who would have thought the FBI director would attempt an administrative coup against a duly elected president?
Yes it is.
That director has a few emails to be worried about.
Draining the commie swamp is a bitch.
Wouldn’t shock me one bit it Roberts rules the mandate removal was unconstitutional.
The whole son of a B was unconstitutional anyway. All tax and revenue legislation has to be brought by the HOR. This thing was rewritten in the senate and “deemed” passed by nutty Nan the san fran marm.
I remember clearly in his confirmation hearing how he would follow the letter of the law.
His ruling on Obamacare proved he was a liar.
Yep , Roberts painted himself into a corner with the tax angle. Without the mandate / Tax it can’t stay afloat regardless. Congress legally dropped the mandate that Roberts used to justify his decision. Even if the SCOTUS tries to save this sorry attempt at healthcare it won’t work without everyone paying. I doubt Insurance Companies will reduce premiums to the bone to subsidize a Government Healthcare program in total disarray. Huge development, Dipstick McCain should have blocked the mandate provision....lmao...
