The Justices always sound skeptical don’t they? Doesn’t mean anything.
Becareful of what you hear. There are many cases in the Supreme Court where they sound like they are going one way but in the end, they go the opposite direction.
The "mandates" are being thrown overboard to establish constitutionality (as defined by the scotus) of the rest of this evil legislation.
maybe I'm wrong. maybe not. These people are wicked, they're not stupid. And when the leftists go on TV squeeling like stuck hogs, you'd better hang the hell on to your wallets.
Whenever liberals start saying anything is “extremely complicated” what they really mean is “our position is indefensible on logical or moral grounds so please stop arguing about it or else I’ll have to beat the crap out of you.”
Did you even listen to the video at the link?! This was CNN! Jeffrey Toobin’s own words. Justice Kennedy is on the right side of the law on this one.
I wonder what the “stinking questions” were?
‘I think you’ll like this’ ping. Click through to the video of CNN reporter Jeff Toobin reporting from SCOTUS at the townhall.com link. Priceless!!!
They had to do with the BO all over this case involving the Health Care law. Which ain’t even so much of a case as it is a crock.
BO = Stinking
You heard it here..um...second!
Ahh... no. No I didn't. As you said, "This was CNN!"
...and they will, too.
Around here they harassed a guy so badly he killed himself by blowing up his house last night. He just wanted to keep some chickens.
LOL! Freudian typo.
can you force a person to buy broccoli or burial insurance?
there is another thread on FR
Something for folks to think about!
Oct 28, 1919 > Congress passed the Volstead Act that mandated US citizens could no longer manufacture/use/consume alcohol products. Main result of this was the creation of the Mafia.
Congress made it illegal for a citizen to consume adult beverages.
Dec 5, 1933 > FDR and the Cullen-Richardson act reverses the Volstead Act, doing away with prohibition
2010 - Obamacare is passed by the US Congress mandating that US citizens must buy health insurance coverage or pay a fine.
Congress makes it illegal for a citizen to be uninsured - they must buy a health insurance policy.
In 1919, Congress made it illegal to buy booze.
In 2010, Congress mandates that we must buy a policy.
Interesting contrast in how our government governs...
Have a good day....
It means nothing and just gives cover to the pusillanimity of the judiciary
.
I'm sure that was supposed to read, "striking questions".
I wonder what the stinking questions were?
I’m sure that was supposed to read, “striking questions”.
or maybe “stinging”?
“can you force a person to buy broccoli or burial insurance?”
They try to make the argument that everyone will eventally use healthcare so they can regulate it as interstate commerce. Using that logic, they could require everyone to buy: burial insurance, food, water, toilet paper, clothes, homes, beds, etc. Once they require it, they will mandate which brands or types you must buy. Whatever you are forced to buy will benefit their friends bank accounts.
From the attorney representing the states
if you believe that not acting is commerce, theres no limiting principle to that
