With the news of Gruber’s statements ObamaCare may be deboned by the supreme court.

All Gruber’s statements do is affirm Chief Justice Roberts’ holding that ObamaCare is a tax.

But since the law’s provision that everyone would have to buy insurance but only state exchange plans would get subsidized intended to bully state-level politicians into acquiescence, it was “not a bug, it was a feature.” It was only when 34 state governments called the feds’ bluff that it turned into an embarrassment, motivating the administration to try to backpedal away from its original ultimatum.

There’s no way SCOTUS can let the administration arbitrarily - and expensively - rewrite a bill after it was passed, signed, and even validated by SCOTUS itself. Not and retain the appearance that we have a rule of law - which, after all, is the very reason for the existence of SCOTUS.
