RUSH: Here's how the Regime's doing it. The Regime and the Drive-Bys are trying to intimidate the court, trying to influence the court, trying to shape the court. Josh Earnest, press briefing at the White House today. A reporter said, "One of the justices this morning suggested the court could give states time to prepare for the impact if it decided to rule against the government in this case. I'm just wondering if you have any response to that, Josh. Would that be feasible? Just wait 'til next year for a decision like that to take effect?"
EARNEST: It's important for people to understand that there is no contingency plan that could be implemented that could prevent the catastrophic damage that would be done by essentially undermining the Affordable Care Act with an adversarial, uh, ruling on this. The truth is that there are no easy answers! There is no simple step, no obvious step that anybody can take that would prevent this catastrophic damage from taking place.
RUSH: Okay, and what that's supposed to here is Justice Kennedy and Justice Roberts are supposed to go home tonight and turn on the news, and they're supposed to see the White House press secretary say that if they rule against the administration, "It's gonna be a nationwide catastrophe! You don't want that on your shoulders, Judge, and you don't want that on your shoulders, Mr. Chief Justice. It's gonna be a catastrophe! We don't have any contingency plan. You're gonna be wiping people's health care out."
That's how it's to be reported, and it is not just Earnest doing it. This is happening throughout the Drive-By Media. The reason is, they think it worked on Roberts the first time. They are convinced that it worked on Roberts the first time. Note, by the way, it worked on Roberts, not Kennedy, the first time. Everybody thinks Kennedy is the swing vote that we need to be worried about, and I'm thinking you may need to change your focus on that, folks, just a little bit.
Not to worry Bambi, Robert’s vote is in the bag.
If you give them what they want, they'll just be back again for more.
how about that “free” birth control...lol!
The Washington weasel wouldn’t harm his baby, TOTALITARIANCARE. He’s forging his legacy in the Marxist Hall of Fame. His cheerleaders on the court, the 3 Furies, will do handstands for JR. Another collectivist cockroach will venture out to dagger the dying republic, then scurry back under cover of the cloak.
They weren’t worried about a nationwide catastrophe when they jammed ACA into law, unread by anyone who voted on it.
They don’t need to pressure him. He’ll rule their way. It is preordained.
It’s a HUGE catastrophe for over 300 million people already.
Why even bother to have a congress or a court if the chief executive can intimidate them Into submission?
Start impeachment procedures against Roberts as soon as he rules for Obama.
The law is crystal clear, even for an old codger like me. No subsidies for those signed up on the federal exchange.
It’s a catastrophe if the plan cannot survive without massive government subsidies from a government already $18 trillion in debt? Catastrophe? It is much more arguable that it would a catastrophe if the plan is allowed to continue.
The media narrative is that it’s not the fault of the Democrats who wrote the bill- it’s ‘somebody else’s fault’.
The court or the Republicans, whoever’s at hand...
Mr Obama has the Supream Court in his back pocket—they will vote for his plan any time any where and anything else this con man thinks up—Like cancelling the election due to some “Crisis” he will come up with or his friends in Iran will do. He will serve 3rd term when Hillary is unable to run—a rigged election and he gets to stay. We better start planning for what we will do—if he tries a stunt like this.
“The Roberts married in their early 40s and adopted two children within a few months of each other in 2000.”
What’s the problem with that?
Roberts will uphold the 0-care law in its present form thus affirming the precedent that the executive can direct IRS to change the law as it sees fit. This will create justification for planned tax hikes by EO.
Roberts is a NWO globalist. He is a member to the Knights of Malta which is connected to Vatican factions that seek one world government.
Globalism trumps the constitution every time. Just watch.
3) Tort reform.
Ahhh but it is the courts job to protect the nation from unconstitutional laws. On that they have totally failed.
But will anyone argue this in public? I swear, conservative media is useless when it comes to stuff like this. The millions who lost their insurance then had to pay ridiculous rates or got thrown on Medicaid because the gov’t dropped the income requirement or any of the other multitude of sins from this damn monster.
And the ones forced onto Medicaid are screwed if they get cancer because I know that Cancer Centers of America and MD Anderson don’t take those programs. It’s 3rd world medicine.
Come on Rush, Hannity, Levin, start shedding some light on their lie about ‘catastrophic’ results.
He’ll cave.
“The four corners rule applies.” A contract, which essentially the scheme is, is interpreted by the plain meaning of the words within those four corners of the Pages. Write it such a way to try to force or intimidate States into setting up exchanges, and they choose not to play, the authors of Obamacare are stuck with what they wrote. The word “state” is not ambiguous.
Obama wants to change the rules because his bluff failed. No, never. Supporters of Obamacare will be in a difficult position of finding examples of the Feds calling themselves “the State.” The words used by them are “Federal Government.” The Feds always refer to themselves as the Federal Government.
