Coach is Right recently alerted its readers to the importance of the upcoming Supreme Court decision in King v Burwell, a case which would determine whether the Internal Revenue Service had the authority—on the orders of Barack Obama–to re-interpret the Affordable Care Act in a manner favorable to Obama and contrary to the clear language and intent of the Act as written by Congress.
Though Obama and members of his Regime have already re-written the Act (contrary to the Constitution) on 31 separate occasions, it was hoped—certainly it was never more than a hope—that the Court would uphold the will of a Congress which wrote 7 times in the Act that subsidies to ObamaCare policy holders would be made available only by ObamaCare Exchanges built by one of the 50 states. The law clearly made subsidies and tax credits unavailable in any state with an ObamaCare Exchange built by the federal government.
A ruling which found that “An Exchange established by the State” was indeed “An Exchange Established by the State” would of course make subsidies unavailable in the 34 States with an ObamaCare Exchange built by the Federal Government. Policy prices would not be competitive in 2/3rds of the nation and the Affordable Care Act would rapidly meet its demise.
But on Thursday, the Court’s decision was published and as many feared, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the clear language and intent of Congress were not acceptable to the Court as the clear language and intent of Congress. As Justice Scalia wrote in the dissent he shared with Justices Alito and Thomas, “…normal rules of interpretation seem always to yield to the overriding principle of the present Court: The Affordable Care Act MUST be saved.” (My Caps)
Justice Scalia’s dissent is one for the ages as he...

Congress has made itself irrelevant lately
Scalia is basically saying this week that the court he is on was not doing their job and have become a back up for Obama and to hell with the laws of the land.
Roberts and Kennedy should be impeached.
And he would be entirely correct in that sentiment. Screw the law, it’s what they ‘want’ after all. Law by administrative, judicial fiat. Welcome to tyranny.
Roberts’ almost certainly sided with the dissenters on the homosexual marriage thing ONLY because he knew the other side had the votes to swing it obozo’s way.
And WHY would he do that after saving obozocare TWICE? Here’s a really good reason:
Speculation is rife that obama and his minions KNOW that the Chief Justice VIOLATED THE ADOPTION LAWS OF IRELAND and have used the threat of public disclosure of that to secure FAVORABLE RULINGS from him and those on the court over whom he has some influence. The first such was their ludicrous ruling that Obamacare penalties were a TAX. And the second occurred earlier, when the court TOTALLY IGNORED THE LANGUAGE OF THE ACA to rule as it did. That tortured ruling has caused numerous legal commentators — Judge Napolitano among them — to opine that words no longer have meanings.
While his brutal murder of the supreme organic law of America goes unnoticed by the leftist (aka “COMMUNIST”) media, how unseemly would it be to have the CJ of the SCOTUS known as a common scofflaw?
I guess everyone has a price.

I’m beginning to HATE what is left of this country!!
I guess the only good part is I’m in my mid 50s and thankfully my time is running out!
I am ready for a battle but I seem to be surrounded by cowards!!
Lets roll................
SCOTUS didn’t make law, they just backed our Dear Leader in his Dicktatorship.
Congress has long been abrogating their responsibilities and duties. Now they have nothing left.
Congress is merely ceremonial.
Congress is there to collect lobbyist payoffs.
Wow,, Obammy says Constitution irrelevant,, SCotUS says CONGRE$$ irrelevant,, voters sincerest best wishes&hopes,, ignored.
vicious cycle,, folks have revolted over less.
