If all else fails they will kidnap the judges kids and hold them for ransom.
Does the la times have proofreaders who are literate?
It tells us they are selfish children who don’t care who pays for their goodies as long as it’s someone else.
Look at the left’s reaction to the HL case and you’ll see that it indeed WAS important. One of the main reasons for the aca was to make sure everyone pArticipated in child murder. They’re enraged that they failed.
While in terms of gutting Obamacare, Hobby Lobby may not seem big, it is big in one other respect. The Left wanted to force Christians to violate their own conscience and show that abortofacients must be offered by all. The reason they are in meltdown is not because the right of the government to impose their policies against Christians failed. In that sense Hobby Lobby is a huge victory. They believe their policies are morally superior and take precedence. The Supreme Court blew a hole in that world view.

Turley is a big lib, to be sure. But he’s fair-minded more so than a lot of them. On certain issues he is more on the conservative side of matters. The principle of separation of powers is one of them.
So where he’s saying it is a bitter pill to swallow, he means it’s bitter for the 0bama regime and for anyone demanding that 0bama’s decrees must be followed without question.
Maybe so, but that is not clear from the sentence in question.
Ever hear of ‘the death of a thousand cuts’?
Yea, yea, yea, too slow for you, me too. Still, if we can’t get a full and complete repeal of this law, in a timely manner, let’s at least try to bleed it to death.
While Roberts opinion upheld Obamacare as a tax (dumb reasoning, in my opinion) it had serious overtones of “if you don’t want laws like this, don’t elect politicians who give them to you. And don’t expect the Courts to bail out out from your poor decisions”
In that sense, it’s working pretty well, because it’s turning into the cascading series of epic failures that rational people predicted. If the DC Circuit rules the right way on this, it will continue the failures right into the 2016 cycle.
The problem I see is that Obama stacked the DC Circuit with those additional judges after Reid nuked the filibuster. So, by no coincidence whatsoever, the deck is probably now stacked against getting the right ruling on this.
“There is another case peculating up that challenges the ACA based on the origination of the penalty that was determined to not be a penalty but a tax coming out of the Senate. If that is not overturned it means the origination clause is meaningless with the Senate stripping any bill from the House and inserting any new tax”
This is the most clear cut constitutional reason the ACA should not of passed mustard with the SCOTUS. Did not the Lawyer fighting against the ACA before the Supreme Court or any of the 4 dissenting Judges not bring this most simple of concepts up in the discussion?
I think a pretty large majority of businesses are “closely held” so maybe this is not so small.
Maybe it’s like the pretty large majority of jobs are with “small business”?
Yes i’m waiting for that case too cmwy!
It wasn't a tax until after the case was decided... So the decision that it IS a tax opened the door to this new case.
If it is making Turley nervous, I like it.
We now have “social justice”, meaning justice corrupted by socialists. We may get a logical and well-reasoned ruling that supports the Constitution, but I don’t expect it, nor given how Justice Roberts constructed a mythical path to approve ObamaCare do I expect such a ruling to stand when it reaches his desk.
“Halbig could allow an mass exodus from the program”
That damn freedom problem. We can’t let the peons do what they want and is their own best interest.
That’s where a lot of Libs, including Ms. Condom 2012 (Fluke) are going with their scare tactics.
The counter is that most closely held, privately owned businesses are small businesses with less than 50 employees. And aren’t required to provide coverage at all. This ruling doesn’t apply to them, one way or another.
not sure what transfer of funds they speak of. I know the insurers are protected against losses. they get paid by the govt to make up losses.
