would understand why it’s not on drugs. I don’t understand why it’s not on Liberty daily. Is this article just ahead of the curve or is their laziness going on or what?

Bingo. The US is the defendant. The Solicitor General would handle an appeal. The Solicitor General reports to the Acting Attorney General. The Acting Attorney General reports to the President.
I moved to Ft Worth area four years ago, now just bought a house in the city directly. This is an extremely proud moment for me, and the arguments are structured so that Chief Justice Roberts will have absolutely no room to reverse at the SCOTUS level without blatantly showing he’s a absolute sellout to the destruction of the United States.
With Kavanaugh’s help?
I like that! Of course, we have been saying that it was unconstitutional since it was first proposed!
Be still my heart!
SC will come up with a way to keep obama care. Constitution is living and breathing right now to accommodate the new position to keep it in law.
The entire basis on which Roberts corruptly upheld Obamacare was that the penalty was a tax and thus covered under the taxing power. Without it, the taxing power does not apply and therefore the bill has no constitutional basis (not that it ever did.)
“What department do I go to to get my money back?“
Exactly! And now that companies have been able to shift some health care burden onto us (do to skyrocketing costs) do we really think they will take that burden back?
I am with you, where do I go to get my money back and when do I get my old coverage back from my employer.
The whole thing was a scam to enrich insurance and the medical field while allowing corporate to shift burden onto us.
While I am glad to hear this ruling, the damage is already done.
Yeah. Give them a bit of their own medicine.
You misspelled donkey.
Agreed. We need to fight fire with fire. As much as I disapprove of activism courts, we need more on our side until they are gone.

The decision was based on the belief that the tax cut bill eliminated the penalty. It did not do that. The penalty was reduced to zero but not eliminated. It could always be increased to something more than that in the future. Under Roberts ruling, this is simply a tax cut, since he declared it a tax and the tax is still law. that will be his loophole to uphold Obamacare.
It would appear that Chief Justice Roberts either put the vise on his own privates with his earlier argument that it is a tax, or he designed it that way.
Either way, the previous ruling that it was a tax creates precedent and standard. Which means unless they find an emanation from a penumbra, the kraken known as OCare has suffered a fatal wound.
Until the Dems have all three branches of government again.
I suspect John Roberts knew what he was doing in going the ‘tax-route’, and inventing a way to easily dismantle it without a lot of theatrical garbage or Obama-payback. So here we are. Pelosi can’t repair this if the Supreme Court agrees on this issue, unless she works with the GOP Senators and Trump. In the 1970s and 1980s....you had legit Democratic leadership which were able to compromise and find agreeable terms with the GOP. That leadership doesn’t exist today.
I’m not sure whether or not healthcare is “a right” but I know I’m 100% correct when I say forcing someone else to pay YOUR medical bills IS NOT “a right”. That crap IS NOT in the U.S. Constitution.
EXACTLY.......
That would be logical and consistent. Unfortunately violations of scope only work to our ill not our favor.
We’ve got a 5-4 Court alright, just not the 5-4 we expected.

Yes, it makes you wonder why GOPee Eric Erickson was so excited about seeing Kavanaugh on the court.
Then again, Kav may have been a concession to McConnell for getting legislation through.
