translation: Got your marching orders, Roberts?
The Republican plan is a good one - pass the bill and let Obama veto it.
“See, we restored your subsidies, but Obama took them away!”
“but all kinds of stuff that I do where, if somebody does something that doesn’t make any sense, it’s hard to fix,” -— I am glad Dear Reader explained it for us. THIS was the Editor of the Harvard Law Review?
Censorship “Works”.
Idiot.
It's your LAW !!
I guess King Barry missed all of these stories about skyrocketing rates and deductibles, cancelled plans, and doctors dropping out of networks.
And oh yeah, how many of those even more troublesome provisions are still under illegal delay?
That's right Sparky. We all saved 2,500 dollars a year on our Insurance and have kept our Doctors. /s In my particular case, what was Three years ago an Employer paid Benefit is now costing me $5,200 per year along with a 2,500 deductible.
How could that be "well documented" when congress never even got time to read the legislation much less debate it prior to a vote? There is no real legislative history. Further, the primary author said mandatory state exchanges for subsidies absolutely was the intent of the legislation. This is what happens when congress passes legislation before reading it.
In other words, obama does not plan to abide by the court’s decision if it goes against him.
So the great constitutional scholar is puzzled how constitutional review of a law works.
Is there a nobel prize for that?
A SCOTUS ruling favorable to zerocare will solidify the irrelevance of SCOTUS. OTOH, an unfavorable ruling will lead right into single payer.
Didn’t Gruber “document” that it was, in fact, “intended”?
A damn'd lie, that was precisely the intent
“Obama rejected the basis for the challenge and said it is “well documented” that the authors of the Affordable Care Act “never intended” to block people on federal exchanges from obtaining the subsidies.”
No ass, they did not intend to block, they intended for states to decide whether they wanted the subsidies given the later downside to accepting them. Otherwise, why make it an option if there was not to be one? This guy indeed was taught to be a 3 card monte dealer...now you see it, now you don’t. The point is he does nothing but turn around the meaning of something to mean something which it never intended to mean.
I’ve well documented my brilliance here on FR. It doesn’t mean that I am?
For most of the middle class these policies are horrible. Massive deductibles are turning all but most expensive policies into incredibly expensive catastrophic policies. This means many in the middle class are paying 6 to 700 a month for the privilege of paying all their medical expenses out of pocket. This is just a massive transfer of wealth.
“This should have been an easy vote; frankly Obama shouldn’t have even been elected.”
There; fixed it.
Ever notice that every time Obama is outside the US, he always bad mouths our country?
“He did say there was one way to resolve the dispute over the law: “Congress could fix this whole thing with a one-sentence provision,” he said.”
Dear Justices,
The President just asked you to overturn the law and allow Congress to “fix it.” It is exactly as you should be doing...
