The Supreme Court on Thursday tossed out a closely watched legal battle targeting the Affordable Care Act, rescuing the landmark health care law from the latest efforts by Republican-led states to dismantle it.
The court ruled 7-2 that the red states and two individuals who brought the dispute do not have the legal standing to challenge the constitutionality of the law's individual mandate to buy health insurance. Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented. Justice Stephen Breyer delivered the majority opinion for the court.
The Supreme Court did not address the constitutionality of Obamacare's individual mandate or whether it can be separated from the remainder of the law.

Individuals have no standing to challenge an “individual mandate”??? States don’t either?The Court ruled that, because the penalty for not following the individual mandate is now zero, no one is harmed by it-- they are free to ignore it.

If Clarence Thomas agreed with this decision, perhaps it is legally correct.

When there was a penalty, the court just rewrote the law to say “that’s a tax”. When the penalty is zero, “no standing”. So it’s pretty obvious the court is just making it up as they go along because they don’t want to strike down the law.

And he is the Chief “Justice” of the SCOTUS.
Bought and paid for.

So much for a conservative Supreme Court. None of them can be trusted to DO WHAT IS RIGHT according to the US Constitution. None of them.

Haven’t seen ACB stand for anything in a decision yet unless all the liberals happened to be on the right side of sonething.

I’m starting to think this club, known as the USSC is collaborating to gas light conservatives. They are all in it together.

Looking at Roberts’ hair, apparently he is due for an oil change.
