White House just assuming they’ll win Obamacare case at SCOTUS

King v. Burwell, the court case that will determine if Obamacare’s language about federal subsidies and their availability on exchanges “established by the state”, will be heard in oral arguments at the Supreme Court on March 4, with a decision to come down later this year. The Obama White House is apparently so confident that they’ll win the case that they’re not preparing any back-up plan in case the Supreme Court wrecks the structure of their signature legislation.

As Politico’s health care newsletter wrote this morning:

Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) says that at a roundtable discussion with congressional leaders he asked Obama why the administration hasn’t informed the public that subsidies are an endangered species. The president replied that he doesn’t anticipate the need for a contingency plan. “Obama’s refusal to acknowledge any contingency planning is no surprise,” writes Pro’s Jennifer Haberkorn. HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell and other HHS officials have been tight-lipped on the subject.

Heh, just God’s way of remaining anonymous... to the completely blind, that is!

There’s a whole list of weird “coincidences” with that name. Furthermore, Obama is also spelled without a middle alef (e.g. see the wiki Hebrew page), making that total 500. Same gematria as the Greek letter phi, which represents the Golden ratio).

Compare the Obama signature (the big O with the line through it) to the Greek letter of the same value:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi

Also, without the alef, Barak Obama = 356, same as America.

Odd too, how the 501 and 500 “coincidences” revolve around the letter alef; i.e. “One”.

The Dems didn't expect Zerocare to pass the spell test. I remember that ruling very well
and the shock coming from the Dems when they found out. It wasn't expected to pass.

Now they're just brazen with attitude.

We went from the “greatest generation” to a generation of power hungry benefit seekers who will do everything for personal gain; but not a damn thing beyond useless lip service in support of our fragile Country that is being destroyed before our eyes by a totally unknown, but sometimes present, stick swinging child brought to us by “community organized fraud”. A reverse blessing by another growing group taking NASA down the tubes. Oh forget it.

Does that mean if the GOP wins the White House they can blackmail him too?

The GOP doesn't care — they're exempt, and they're part of the elite… in fact, it's better if they can just keep just missing on repealing/defeating ObamaCare so that they can play it like the NRA does gun-control.

I think that is what is known as a tortured path explanation. Not even the most died in the wool conspirist will buy that fantasy stretch.

Those adoptees are no longer little children, no one would ever try to force them back to Ireland. Talk about stepping onto a biblical cow pie!

Seriously? Who cares about this, legally? Can’t anyone see the rule of law is falling apart and anarchy is on the way?

Oh, they DEFINITELY have a contingency plan ready to go. Most likely they’ll simply IGNORE what the court rules (something that I am not necessarily always against doing).

But they figure if they publicize the plan they are admitting to having a losing case.

And unless it is something absolutely career destroying— he should “come out” with it and TAKE A STAND. That is, if he wasn’t always intended to be in that job for this reason. Someone with a SET for the Lord’s sake.
