They’re blackmailing him in some way. Someday it will all come out.

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, John Roberts may well say “it depends upon what the meaning of ‘by’ is”.

The language of the law is quite clear and unambiguous to any honest person. To those who want to change it, they can simply say the logical equivalent of “inside now means outside” to arrive at their desired end. It’s amazing how far the Republic has fallen.

Obama’s HHS just argued this week that the term “state” allows them to exclude territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.) from the ACA/Obamacare: “The definition of “state” in the Public Health Service Act indicates that the ACA market rules don’t apply to the territories, HHS wrote.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/07/17/the-administration-just-took-obamacare-away-from-the-territories/

Roberts illegally adopted some foreign kids.
Obammy blackmailed the dirt bag in to going along with his schemes.
Roberts along with nearly everyone in D.C. are leaches.

Well, clearly the Federal government is "the State", especially to Democrats Is that the same as a state that is a component of the United States? No, but that wouldn't stop them from twisting the language.

Maybe the issue will hinge on the specificity of Section 1311 versus 1321. There's no ambiguity in the numbers.

Do the Courts ever presume typos?

I'm so tired of the excuses made on behalf of John Roberts for his despicable decision....excuses that he was blackmailed...or that he's gay....or whatever.

I afford him NO excuses. To me, his decision was purposeful...and was engendered by an obvious legal and moral failing in his character....nothing more, nothing less.

He made a choice....and it was just plain wrong...and harmful to the nation (HIS nation, also)....in a myriad of injurious ways as we are seeing every day.

He, and he alone, is at fault...and he, alone, bears the responsibility and the censure.

There are quite a few people, left and right, who are calling the language of the bill a “mistake” (on the left, they think of it as a simple “typo” and on the right, there’s some glee over “finding out what’s in it after it’s passed”).

That’s incorrect. It was intentional, and done on purpose to get the CBO scoring of the bill’s 10-year cost to be less than the arbitrary target of $1 trillion. The thinking at the time was that they’d pass the bill within the limits they publicly proclaimed, and then “fix” the “errors” after the fact when no one was paying attention to the price tag.

But something funny happened on the way to that result - the Democrats lost their filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and now could no longer make any changes to the version the Senate passed, but couldn’t pass any “fix” bills that would follow.

Now, of course, the left is clamoring for what the left always does: to demand that the court impose through fiat what they were unable to do via legislation.

How can the federal government, empowered as the central government, also be a state which does not carry such authority? Because IF the feds can be considered states, then the states can by the same logic (or lack there of) exorcise the same authority as the federal government.

What's really absurd is that Americans are allowing a bunch of people in black robes to make up law as they go along.

Most of these above-us-alls were installed by other above-us-alls.

And when a pack of black robes can overturn the will of a state's voters, what they say no longer matters to me.

The adminitration will request that the full court vote on it. The administration will be upheld since Democrats appointed most of the judged. It’ll be appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will decide not to hear it.

This is why I refer to it as 0bamaRobertsCare.

0bama created it but Roberts sanctioned it. Roberts should get equal billing and equal blame for 0bamaRobertsCare.

Roberts will rule that the Federal Government is a state since it has a State Department.

The Fed is not a state. It exists because the states allow it to exist.
