Legislate in haste. Litigate in leisure.

The author is a liar.

The writer of this section of the healthcare law wrote exactly what he intended and he will tell you as much.

He wrote it to bribe the states into creating their own exchanges and did not believe for a moment they wouldn’t do it. He was wrong.

Uh... No. Roberts would rewrite the word anyway.

fta ...piecing together a compromise that sought to create a national system of subsidized insurance — but one run by the states.
*********************
The ACA was NOT a compromise (implying bipartisan support). Its writing was done behind closed doors by Dems and its passage through House and Senate received NO ‘Pub votes.

I think it’s hilarious that the Dems are running around like chicken little, because the bill clearly says only people signed up through State exchanges can get subsidies.

A glitch is a real BITCH.
Kinda like HITLERY. . . . .

FedGov is rapidly losing legitimacy, and even liberals are going to start worrying about that. It’s time to follow the letter of the law or accept the consequences, and with a law as evil and destructive as ObamaCare those consequences will not be pretty.

As a wise man once said, “Words mean things.”

[EBH]

Uh...no. There is something called the “intent of the law.”

[Jim Noble]

That prospect has sparked an intense debate over how the disputed language ended up in the law....

There is no debate about it at all.

The language was changed to remove subsidies for Federal exchanges because if it wasn't changed the law would not have passed.

That being the case, a court decision that this fact is irrelevant would be - revolutionary.

[PoloSec]

It seems a multitude of issues should “doom” obamacare, but nothing ever does, then again, we are not in America anymore.

I don’t see anything in the future to turn things around, except...Revolution Now!

[sport]

Nope. And all of this “gonna get rid of obamacare, obamacare will be overturned, etal.” bullcrap is just to keep the sheep calm. Cruz had the recipe for getting rid of obamacare and the Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell stabbed him in the back. That proves that the Republican Party wants obamacare as bad as the Democrats.

[Billthedrill]

These are, after all, people who consider the Constitution a “glitch” that needs a serious rewrite.

[Moonman62]

Calling it a glitch or an error is one of the biggest lies ever told.
