Well, the judge isn’t exactly working with a full set of transisters, is he?
What’s the frequency, judge?
When will Obama Admin declare Obamacare is really Single Payer ,so shut up, D’oh
Short summary: It’s whatever.
When it gets to the USSC we have to remember that Roberts has been bought, at least on this issue.
This is not the case with the ACA law. While a pizza from Pizza Hut that has ham and pepperoni can be substituted with a pizza from Dominoes, the ACA states that the ham and pepperoni can be used only if it comes from Pizza Hut and not Dominoes. ...................
How can we judge their intent when no one actually read the law before they voted. They even bragged that they hadn't read it.
It is like in a criminal case where you have to prove intent or there was no crime.
In this case there was no way to know what the legislators were intending since they were voting on a law that they had not read. Therefore no one knows what was intended.
There is absolutely no doubt about the intent of the clause for excluding subsidies from Federal programs.
The Federal exchanges were barred from providing subsidies to prevent the program costs from exceeding what were already staggeringly expensive levels - a Trillion dollars as scored by CBO.
This is a part of the record - a ban on Federal Exchange subsidies were a deliberate, fully considered Cost Control measure intentionally drafted into the bill to make the costs close.
You are missing the point. It is beneficial to the liberal cause, so none of that matters. All that matters is what the "intent" was. Now, if it were reversed, and it benefited the Conservative cause, then the courts, the Dems, the GOP-e, and the media would all be insisting that the letter of the law be followed exactly.
I wonder if this judge will be praised by the liberals for his wisdom, for talking about pizza.
The liberals were outraged when Justice Scalia asked if the government can force us to buy and eat broccoli. Which is why I bring up the pizza analogy. Which food analogies are considered okay with liberals, and which ones are absurd. What are the liberal criteria here?
You are spot on.
The liberals want to have it both ways, and they may get it.
When the liberal view of an issue calls for review of legislative intent or some other inexact criteria, then the liberals will talk about that as being how the decision should be made.
If the liberal view of an issue calls for the letter of the law to be followed exactly, then liberals tell us that this is how a case and a law should be interpreted.
Great, now I can pay my taxes to my cousin instead of the IRS because I still complied with a literal construction of paying taxes!
Where do they find these Judges? At the bottom of a box of Cracker Jacks?
Just another libtard indulging in what libtards do - hair-splitting exercises.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t comport with the letter of the law, the spirit of the law, or traditional precedent - I want what I want and I’ll torture language, the law, and anything else in my way until I get what I want.
(Cue 6 year old child on his back stomping his feet)
The road to ‘hell’ is paved with good ‘intent’ions.................
Why didn’t the judge declare that the Federal government is a state since it has a State Department?
That’s the wrong argument to make. If that is the argument, then the judges will feel that they have every right to correct what amounts to nothing more than an error in the text. The correct argument is that it WAS their intent to exclude federal exchanges from the subsidies.

So does common sense: If I ask for pizza from Pizza Hut for lunch but clarify that I would be fine with a pizza from Domino’s, and I then specify that I want ham and pepperoni on my pizza from Pizza Hut, my friend who returns from Domino’s with a ham and pepperoni pizza has still complied with a literal construction of my lunch order.
And this has what exactly to do with the text of the law?
Was there a Pizza Hut bammycare application or a Domino's bammycare application ?
Maybe it was just a check-box somewhere... .
Immaterial since no one FORCED you to have pizza for lunch, you judicial dipstick!
