This one is going to be 9-0. I know that sounds crazy

The liberals on the court do't care bout the wording, they care about their agenda.

If CommieCare is done, then the Obama legacy
is toast too. Then the American people will
have enough of Disneyland politics, where
no one has to work for a living, for about two
months.

He is positively elated with his reaming the American people. His hatred of them is palpable.

More like disdain than hatred. I don't think he cares enough about us to hate us.

By the way, this "genius" said that they lied to make Obamacare more palatable to the American people, but he pronounced it pa-LATE-able. I'm glad I'm not as brilliant as he is.

anyone else remember that other author of ObamaCare that said something like “If we were to really tell you the truth what’s in the bill, we would tell old people “you are going to die”, we would tell young people “you are going to pay more””

These liberal elitists are so proud of their deception and cleverness that it’s sickening.
If they were being honest, I think the average Huffington Post reader would tell you that they agree that the average American is stupid and needs to be deceived, although they would not grasp the concept that they themselves are not part of the exempt elite group.

Not crazy at all, and I agree with you. This Supreme Court has already smacked down this Administration repeatedly on 9-0 decisions.

Supremes Smack Down Obama Administration 9-0 For 13th TIME SINCE 2012 - Daily Caller 6/27/14

Due to the overwhelming importance of the case it might even be possible that there is a ruling long before June.

FReegards!

He’s the definition of metrosexual,
but aren’t they all? If you’ve deceived
yourself long enough to be convinced
that “there” is just like a lady, then
the truth is not in you. But something
else is on a regular basis.

An MIT professor doesn’t know the meaning of the word “typo?” Who’s stupid now?

Wikipedia actually has a decent description of the negotiation that led to the supposed "typo." It was no typo at all; it was intended compromise.

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act - Senate:


The Senate began work on its own proposals while the House was still working on the Affordable Health Care for America Act. Instead, the Senate took up H.R. 3590, a bill regarding housing tax breaks for service members. As the United States Constitution requires all revenue-related bills to originate in the House, the Senate took up this bill since it was first passed by the House as a revenue-related modification to the Internal Revenue Code. The bill was then used as the Senate's vehicle for their healthcare reform proposal, completely revising the content of the bill. The bill as amended would ultimately incorporate elements of proposals that were reported favorably by the Senate Health and Finance committees. With the Republican minority in the Senate vowing to filibuster any bill they did not support, requiring a cloture vote to end debate, 60 votes would be necessary to get passage in the Senate. At the start of the 111th Congress, Democrats had only 58 votes; the Senate seat in Minnesota ultimately won by Al Franken was still undergoing a recount, and Arlen Specter was still a Republican.

To reach 60 votes, negotiations were undertaken to satisfy the demands of moderate Democrats, and to try to bring several Republican senators aboard; particular attention was given to Bob Bennett, Mike Enzi, Chuck Grassley, and Olympia Snowe. Negotiations continued even after July 7 — when Franken was sworn into office, and by which time Specter had switched parties — due to disagreements over the substance of the bill, which was still being drafted in committee, and because moderate Democrats hoped to win bipartisan support. Then, on August 25, before the bill could come up for a vote, Ted Kennedy—a longtime healthcare reform advocate—died, depriving Democrats of their 60th vote. Before Kennedy's seat was filled, attention was drawn to Snowe because of her vote in favor of the draft bill in the Finance Committee on October 15, but she explicitly stated that this did not mean she would support the final bill. Paul Kirk was appointed as Senator Kennedy's temporary replacement on September 24.

After the Finance Committee vote, negotiations turned to the demands of moderate Democrats, whose votes would be necessary to break the anticipated Republican filibuster. Majority leader Harry Reid focused on satisfying the Democratic caucus's centrist members until the holdouts came down to Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, an independent who caucused with Democrats, and Ben Nelson, a conservative Democrat, representing Nebraska. Lieberman, despite intense negotiations with Reid in search of a compromise, refused to support a public option, agreeing to vote for the bill only if the provision were not included, although it had majority support in Congress. His demand was met. There was debate among the bill's supporters over the importance of the public option, although the vast majority of supporters concluded it was a minor part of the reform overall, and Congressional Democrats' fight for it won various concessions, including conditional waivers allowing states to set up state-based public options such as Vermont's Green Mountain Care.


It's clear that the removal of federal exchanges (the "public option") was the result of compromises made to get the bill passed. It was not a "typo."

It would be a complete subversion of the legislative process if the Supreme Court were to establish the precedent that the Democrats can negotiate in bad faith today and still get what the always wanted later in the courts.

“This “smoking gun”, 2012 Gruber videotape is damning evidence that exposes the current administration/media lie that only a “typo” in the current ObamaCare law”

The Dems spent 15 YEARS writing this law. NOTHING in it is by mistake. The Dems DESPERATELY wanted the states to set up those “exchanges” so that the president and others would have insulation against the blowback...so they worded the bill that way.

If the Dems now think that wording is a “typo”, they are MORE THAN WELCOME to take their case to the leaders of the House and Senate and try to push them to “fix” the mistake...that is how our system works. Of course the Republicans may have a few other “fixes” (like outright repeal) that they may want to throw onto into the project.

You just forgetting that Roberts got a “secret” visit at SCOTUS on January 14, 2009 one week before he stole the W.H. He saw what happened to Bill Gwatney, later to Breitbart, Hastings and many others. Even publicly humiliated and scorn with DNC-asses’ standing ovation, hmmm!!!

No it won’t. The American people have allowed these people to destroy the country. If you look at the whole picture of what has been done, one decision months from now by the SUPREME Court will not fix a damn thing.

The only way to fight them is the way we will not do.
Over!

You may be right, but I thank God that the Founding Fathers weren’t so willing to agree.

I have heard Frank Gaffney and others today. I have never been more depressed that we can save this mess. Happy thinking is not going to do it.

The action that we have never done is all there is and the action is very unlikely.

If you are saying that I am a victim of happy thinking, I don’t understand your claim.

I am not accusing you of anything. Have you looked at the latest Drudge siren?
