This is why there was such a mad rush to pass the ACA. The same goes with comprehensive immigration reform.
This is straight out of Orwell:
"a hyper-literal interpretation of a single phrase can't be used to contradict the overall import of the ACA"

Unfortunately, I don’t think they have anything to worry about. It seems that there is not much call for basic logic in today’s America. Everywhere you turn, it appears that flawed reasoning, largely based on the emotions of a sector group, is what prevails in the courts, in the media.
I hope and wait for the pendulum to swing the other way.

"This is straight out of Orwell:"

The Rule of Law is dead.

Of course, that's the point of 1984.

The dumb-a$$ed Republicans are afraid they will have to DO something if ACA is overturned and they know that will expose their corporate dependence in a truly garish way.

Republicans WISH they had received the favor of a $1.4 trillion industry...fully regulated from the halls of Congress.

They will not be able to shy away from a New National Healthcare Law...only this time THEY will get paid.

Doesn’t matter what the Supremes say. If grand poobah Hussein obongo issues an executive order to change Obamacare (”the law”), they cannot stop him.

Obama has made other changes to “the law.” Why should this stop him?

Nothing to worry about. Roberts rewrote it once to save it; no reason why he wouldn’t do it again. Right? Otherwise, the Court might be viewed as political, right, Johnny Boy?

I love how the plain language in the Obamacare act is characterized as a “hyper-literal interpretation.” These people have no shame.

After the contortions Roberts did to uphold it in the first place, this case shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Consider the following. It is what the GOP congress cannot bring itself to repeal:

Obamacare has never polled positive numbers to this day.

It is a big contributing factor to low labor force participation.

It is an entirely commie/rat scheme straight out of Orwell.

It established the precedent of “constitutionally” forcing citizens to purchase a service.

It is certain to destroy quality healthcare.

Now, if the GOP cannot find the courage to relieve citizens of this unpopular burden, isn't is clear they not only don't work for us, but is there any reasonable expectation they will stop the Obama tyranny of the internet and immigration?

Article V. Now.

If the Supreme Court guts Obamacare, then the solution is obvious:

Republican Congress passes a bill that returns medical care to the private market, like it was. Send it to Obama to sign; if he refuses, it is all on him. Just like they can do with the Homeland Security bill.

They still have “the goods” on Roberts so let’s see how he twists out of this one, if possible.

There is a lot of money to be made by politicians and votes to be tweaked by fiddling with provisions. No. Republicans do not seriously want to lose Obamacare.

No,they are afraid they will be called names by the press,be accused of causing the problem in the first place,even though not one republican voted for the disaster of Obamacare.
If the Republicans had a set of balls they would run ads showing the cause of this disaster,Pelosi stating,we have to pass it to see what’s in it. Maybe if the lying bastard democrats were not looking to intimidate Governors into signing onto this .ess they would not have written the law the way it is,I myself believe the Democrats figured they could write it saying you only get subsidies in exchanges set up by the States,knowing the press would back them up when the crap hit the fan and Republicans attempted to stop them,which is exactly what is happening.
The Democrats playing dum,is to clever by half,the problem is the Democrats lie and the Supreme court swears to it.

The dems have figured out that Boehner & McConnell have very short attention spans and are more interested in Happy Hour, the next cocktail party and special interest kickbacks than actually serving the Country.

They should have a plan, maybe grandfather in existing subsidies, work with insurance companies to accommodate.

These imbeciles in D.C. manaaged to set up this whole debacle, surely they can make some adjustments without overloading their tiny brains.

I predict the Court will not change the law. They will say too much time has passed and to over rule the law now will cause too much of a problem for the U.S.

Ignoring literal interpretation is how extremists expand government. If they had an appreciation for literalism, they’d read the 10th amendment and rollback all of their “progress.”

People should refuse to pay taxes en masse and then challenge the IRS for its hyper-literal interpretation of tax code.

.
Then a hyper-literal interpretation of a single phrase can’t be used to contradict the overall import of the second amendment either!
