i don’t know if the “wry smile” was one of being pleased and coy or one of being mysterious and coy.
i didn’t see it myself so I can’t judge.
but i doubt it will be found constitutional. the mandate will be unconstitutional and the entire law will fall based on the intentional lack of severability.
if not, however, the prospects for an obama loss increase. America hates obamacare. Further, the intensity of their hatred is unbounded.
so while i’d rather have it ALL struck down, the alternative is not so bad IF it works out a win in all 3 brances...
After the what the same so called federal “justices” said about the Obamacare abomination in the oral arguments imaginary if they were to edict that Washington can do this.
What would it say about the Constitution, and specifically the ability of the Federal “justices” to protect any part of it? What would that mean for what we have to do to defend our rights?
In my mind that could have only one meaning: It means that the Federal employees in black robes intend to do nothing about the lawlessness of their employers and as such if we are to have any hope of retaining any of our rights we have no choice but to act without them.
This of course is tantamount to the acknowledgement by the Federal court of either the death of Federal Constitutional order or the implisic requirement that it be enforced by more than just the Employees of those bound by the Federal Constitution.
