Let’s not snatch defeat from the jaws of defeat.

> The president on Thursday said he was “sorry” that Americans were losing their healthcare plans despite his frequent assurances that individuals with insurance could keep them.

I’m sorry, but it’s settled law and I won the election, so, get over it. Ask any Demwit, that’s the standard answer. Thanks Libloather.

Actually, Obama is not relevant in this fray. He is powerless and can only whine and watch.

The man in front of the onrushing D 9 intent on sweeping Obamacare away is Dingy Harry.

The fork gambit is to skewer Dingy Harry and all the rats in the Senate regardless of what they do. For them, it is a lose lose glimpse of coming death

The only thing ‘bleeding heart’ about modern liberals is what happens to anyone who dares to stand up to them...

They’re afraid of citizens seeing what thugs they’ve become...

-— I find it hard to believe none of them bothered to read it and understand it for themselves, so what’s their game?-—

It’s an impossible task. Maybe some lawyers could understand it, if they spent their entire lives studying it.

So they followed the path of least resistance, like most people, and played for the short term.

The next short-term play is to claim to have supported keep-your-old-insurance legislation. They don’t care if it passes. They just want to cover their butts.

-— We’d not have the privilege of watching the Democrat show go to pieces had Roberts done the “right” thing. -—

It’s possible that this is the good that God will bring from this evil.

BUT, we may not do evil so that good may come, which is what Robert’s may have done. If that was indeed his motivation, he will have caused the premature deaths of many innocent people who were dropped from their plans.

-— Pull out any single card and down it comes crashing. -—

I hear this every day, but what does this mean?

The legislation remains in effect until it is repealed.

Who will repeal it?

It seems far more likely that funding will be transferred from another area of the government to subsidize Obamacare, or more debt will be issued.

Sure, only congress can authorize more funding, but “are they going to hold America’s healthcare hostage?”

Between The Commie and Boehner, we know who will win the staredown.

These fixes only give life support to obamacare. Republicans should not support them and let obamacare die by exposing as many people to it as possible. What an ugly legacy.

Well, as I’ve also pointed out more than once, sometimes the USSC is very pedantic. If nobody in the case brought arguments that this would be an unconstitutional tax, those considerations weren’t factored in even if the justices knew themselves that it is so. That arguably is another evil, but it’s practically expected in American court protocol. It probably helps the court distance itself from the idea of absolute justice... oh, we’re only a law machine answering the exact question and arguments put before us. There’s more than one level of evils here.

Where are liberals with their penumbras of penumbras on cruel and unusual punishments? This certainly looks like one.

Roberts would have destroyed the Democrats by giving them their way.

Well it could not happen to a nicer party. Bent on degrading humanity since antebellum times, it finally picked a degradation platform that it couldn’t handle. Now it won’t be able to escape the blame.

To: Windflier; what's up
I'm not sure they can rewind everything that's transpired to this point. The damage to the health care industry is moving at light speed.

That's what I've been trying to tell what's up this whole thread and it's like talking to a wrought iron gate.

Recasting the whole shebang is the only thing that could really work here. And maybe the chaos will prove the chance to do it.

And it might involve bringing in totally new players. The old insurance co’s who sucked up to this... they’ll get burned. What went around came around.

You made your bed, Obama. Now sleep in it.
