You are all dreaming. This is the chance for USG to take over health care.
You may be sure that the supremes are getting strongly coached on; likely threatened.
As soon as USAians allowed/requested USG to provide health care for thermselves, as in Medicare, they were setting up for a calamity. As this beaucracy (inevitably) grew huger and huger, the day would arrive that it started crushing USG budget, which would _force_/enable USG to seize the whole thing.
Let’s face facts, our Chinese debtors are no longer interested in funding USA health care. Nor should they have to.
Is anyone else starting to think we are being played??
And yet, the health insurance market which this law seeks to regulate is specifically NOT interstate. In fact, insurance companies are specifically barred from selling policies across state lines.
and just think, John McCain lost to this two bit, race baiting jackwagon. Haha.
If it does go down. It won’t be close. It’ll could be unanimous. Lots of people are signaling that the election would go better for everyone if it was struck down. Kagan is now a Justice. It no longer matters how she got there, she can’t be removed because she didn’t play ball with Obama. Sotomayer too. History isn’t going to judge them on whether they carried water for Obama, but on whether women on the bench was good for the country. I was shocked at the EPA decision being unanimous.
If it really is an absurd anti-constitutional monstrosity, they all may kill it. Passed the way it was passed, it was a very killable bill. Scalia even joked as to whether he would be required to read all 2700 pages in order to rule on it.
I’m curious as to whether the minority would have to write an opinion if it does go down 8-1 or 7-2. I’m not sure they do.
A mandate is merely a dictate. Thus, if we are dictated to, do we then live under a Dictatorship?
If our freedom of choice is taken from us by the dictates of a hostile Federal government, then what Liberty do we have left?
Yet admin still confident of constitutionality. The commies don’t intend on giving in - regardless.
Don’t get your hopes up.
The Supremes are past masters at faking it and misleading observers during the oral arguments.
They are not going to sink America’s first black president so will find ways to rationalize acceptance of all or most of Obamacare.
They might throw conservatives a small bone and declare one minor provision unconstitutional, but the act itself will stand.
I thought the 2700 page bill was written with NO CHANGES—NO AMENDMENTS, etc.
It won’t matter if it is 2700 pages....
270 pages .....
or 27 pages.
As long as Obama & Reid & Pelosi are running things, we will be screwed with whatever they pass.
An interesting point to ponder is the way that Obama lectured the justices of SCOTUS during a State of the Union address . . .If the justices think about that disrespect, they might be more inclined to go whole hog. In for a penny, in for a pound . . .
