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.
