Right. The bill made it through Congress and was upheld by the Supreme Court. The majority of Americans wanted it. The majority of congressmen voted for it. The courts didn't find it unconstitutional. The checks and balances worked. What else is there to complain about?
wow, like... wrote:
Republican's in congress can't win. When they don't vote with the democrats, Obama says the GOP is holding up progress and stalling everything.
If the GOP adds things to democrat legislation people like you say crap like this. If the republicans really had any say, the bill would even exist.
Why should the GOP agree to work with Obama or the democrats in Congress? There are different frames of mind. I am glad the GOP is stepping in and not letting Obama and the democrats have their way with the laws of the land. This is the way the checks and balances are supposed to work.

With no circuit split, there would probably be no very good reason for the Supreme Court to grant certiorari review, but that doesn't mean the Court won't do so. It only takes four votes to get certiorari granted. I would expect Thomas, Scalia, and Alito to vote for certiorari, and Roberts and Kennedy are also possible votes for granting cert.Realistically this decision (either way) comes down to interpretation of what's nothing much more than a typo in one section of a gynormous pile of paperwork.
No one involved (on either side) can honestly say they never intended there to be federal subsidies in the cases where the states deferred to the feds for the exchange. In a normal environment this would be fixed in a technical corrections bill like has been done dozens of times with Medicare and Medicaid.
We have some enterprising lawyers at some think tank find an error, then find a sympathetic state to get standing, so more lawyers generate more billable hours. In the big scheme it means nothing about the legality or constitutionality of ACA as a whole.
In reality if the suit prevails it means low income people in red states would lose their subsidy, while low income people in blue states (and Kentucky) would keep theirs. It won't "stop" Obamacare, but it will torpedo a bunch of folks (many of the Republicans) in red states. In their biggest wet dream I don't see how that works out positively for Republicans.
For sure, the large volume of inbred bigots that comprise the Republican base nowadays would be thrilled with that outcome just because they hate anything associated with Obama no matter what, but when the real fallout came down they'd be lucky to get one of their own elected dog-catcher anywhere but Texas and Kansas.
Yeah? Well ... MastersTrack sucks ass.
