That will be post revolution. By then it will not matter because there will be a new government of the remaining states
This court is tied 4-4. It is all about Kennedy. What HE does. HOW HE votes!! If during the next few years, Obama still there, something happens to Kennedy or one of the conservatives on the court, BOOM!!!!! 5-4 liberal court. They have it all. Nothing stops them. Their agenda will run ramped then.
Holy crap. It’s a done deal, now.
The first act out of the box was to repeal Obama care. The bill passed by the House has been ignored by the Senate
The “supreme court” (note not capitalized) is nothing more than a bunch of cowardly bastards sitting on their arses.
Make a damn decision and move on!
“If the Court rules it to be a “tax” [this year], then it cannot be contested until AFTER the tax is collected [in 2015].”
If we were to follow this logic to lets say the death penalty for killing a politician then the USSC would have to wait until one was actually killed before ruling on the case.
We have a bunch of traitors to the Founders, Constitution, and Citizens of the USA sitting on the bench of the USSC making political decisions and NOT what they are mandated to do and that is make sure any law, executive order (huge problem here), regulation (usually from un-elected scum), is ALLOWED by the Constitution.
They are not there to do what they think is right at the moment if the Constitution does not allow it. That is a function for an AMENDMENT not some piece of political slime using case law to make stuff up.
Watch, and learn how many times this vile court refuses to hear a case because a US CITIZEN does NOT HAVE STANDING?
What kind of wimps are we when we allow these political hacks to say we do not have standing. If the government is involved, then we MUST have standing because our government only receives its LIMITED powers from US yet these pompous a$$e$ on the USSC have completely forgotten that.
There is a second mandate to be taken into account - The mandate that religious organizations be required to fund practices that violate the basic principles of the organization.
The Obama organization, which is always too cute by half, may have inadvertently, swayed a key swing vote on the court by initiating, for political purposes the birth control debate.

What you appear not to know and should know is that Obama and his circle are following the FDR playbook on Social Security from the 1930s. That’s not an opinion or a theory but a fact because they have said so.
In the 1930s FDR was publicly proclaiming that Social Security was a modest pension retirement program whereas in court his lawyers were arguing that Social Security was a tax and was constitutional under the 16th Amendment. It was upheld as a tax.
Same exact thing here, by design. Obamacare will be upheld as a tax despite that it will lose on Commerce Clause arguments. They only need to win on the tax question.
It is the 16th Amendment that in 100 years has brought us to this point. Is there are replacement? Yes, read below:

What a bunch of shiite!
I sure hope those that voted in the kenyan usurper are proud of themselves for what they wrought on this once proud and strong country. They owe each of themselve a huge pat on the back. They are all part of this travesty. One day some of them will wake up and realize what they’ve done. It will be too late, though. Hope they enjoy the consequences of their actions. We sure as he!! don’t.
We are so f***ed!
Next question, what country to move to.
I can’t believe conservatives placed any hope in the Supreme Court, or specifically, Kennedy.
Besides his unreliability, is it too conspiratorial to imagine a communist, community organizer bringing outside pressure on the justices?
If taking up arms is the solution then so be it. Let's get it over with and begin anew.
bttt
“Will Obama actually get a second term? The fact that I’m even having to ask that question says a lot. We have a POTUS who can only be described as Marxist in that as a Congressman he voted to the left of the only Socialist in Congress. His actions as POTUS support that notion. And there’s a serious chance of him being RE-ELECTED. Why?”
Part of that has to be that our candidates absolutely SUCK.
If waivers are already granted, can it be challenged as in effect now, regardless of the “tax versus mandated purchase” definition?
