7-2, Alito and Gorsuch dissenting.

[DoodleDawg]

Republicans dodged a bullet on that one.

Here is the actual opinion:

[the OlLine Rebel]

This is totally different from the CBS version.

CBS statues that THE PLAINTIFFS HAD NO STANDING, not that “rejecting a claim that it is unconstitutional”.

IOW, sounds like they threw it out, and did not really rule on it?

If so, this NBC report is totally misleading and disingenuous.

[joesbucks]

Meaning Thomas, Comey Barrett and Cavanaugh were in the majority keeping it alive.

[Vaduz]

The Supreme Court is nearing the trust level as the media.

[DesertRhino]

I want auto insurance to cover pre-existing damage. It’s only fair that damage from accidents from before I was insured gets repaired.

[DesertRhino]

Glad we fought so hard for Amy Conehead Barrett and party boy Kavenaugh.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Obamacare is not a health care policy. It is a warm-hearted gesture of goodwill toward the medically underserved. So if you oppose it, you hate poor people...or something.

I would not expect a GOP leadership like the one in place today to be able to address Obamacare’s dismal failures in the face of such media headwinds.

[Seruzawa]

Lol. Its here to stay no matter what the law says. The robed lawyers have spoken.

[AndyJackson]

For these reasons, we conclude that the plaintiffs in this suit failed to show a concrete, particularized injury fairly traceable to the defendants’ conduct in enforcing the specific statutory provision they attack as unconstitutional. They have failed to show that they have standing to attack as unconstitutional the Act’s minimum essential coverage provision. Therefore, we reverse the Fifth Circuit’s judgment in respect to standing, vacate the judgment, and remand the case with instructions to dismiss. .

This just beggars belief, and is a dangerous course for the Court to take - that states don't have standing to enforce the enumerated powers clause of the Constitution, when it is their injury and their powers that are being encroached upon.

I get it about frat boy and ACB, but where is Thomas in all of this?

[escapefromboston]

The Supreme Court exists to enforce the will of the oligarchs against the will of the general population even in the face of all ration thought. For an obvious example I give you : legalizing faggot “marriage” .

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

Hey great. Put all 9 of them on it!

[Renfrew]

The basics of the opinion is that since the individual mandate payments were removed the individuals suing can show no harm from Obamacare and thus have no standing.

[COBOL2Java]

...there is broad public support for its requirement that insurance companies must cover pre-existing health conditions.

Cool! Does that mean we can cover pre-existing conditions with my car insurance? I can go without insurance, then when I have an accident, just demand that they cover the incident because it's pre-existing.

[SE Mom]

In other more important rulings, SCOTUS just ruled UNANIMOUSLY in favor of a Catholic curch adoption agency’s right to not consider LGBT couples as a
foster parents. Pretty remarkable. Freedom won one today.

[spincaster]

This is why our insurance deductibles are $15,000.00 .
Obama care hurt twice as many as it supposedly helped .

[BatGuano]

“Obamacare,” should be called “Robertscare!”

The compromised Chief Justice is simply doing what his master dictates.

[CottonBall]

But not Thomas.....hmmmmm

[pfflier]

But more than 20 million Americans now depend on it for their health insurance,

That translates to about 5.9% of the total population sponging off of 100% of the taxpayers.
