One Stone, Two Powers: How Chief Justice Roberts Saved America

Ted Olson’s wife, Barbara, died in the plane that flew into the Pentagon on 9/11.
Yes, fired after the first defeat in the Supreme Court, replaced by David Boyes. But I’m wondering what the big deal is; obama can solve the problem he created by issuing another EO or reg to write the law anew just like all the other rewrites. In any event, Reid has his back if the SCOTUS rules against him.
Thanks for the ping.
Everyone’s still looking for flaws in the law, instead of at its limited applicability. Not that that’s a bad thing, since it’s full of giant holes. But so far the courts seem to be ignoring severability and just finding ways to implement it anyway.
Roberts directed his attention to limited applicability. When the Chief Justice indicates a path, it’s usually for a good reason. But we’ll see. Maybe it will fall for other reasons.
“Why use Federal or State at all? Why would legislation refer to any government body if all exchanges were to be treated the same?”
Ha! That is the crux of the matter. Let’s see if these judges rule on law or politics?
