If they rule in favor of the Constitution, the entire system will spiral into chaos overnight. The Feds will be ready to save the day, with single payer. Watch.
I will believe it when I see it. I truly feel the court is bought and paid for either through funds or blackmail.
If they don’t find for King then word have NO meaning.
I am far more worried now than with their last Obamacare ruling. I cannot imagine an outcome that (1) is legitimate, and (2) the republican elite will not sabotage.
Does the ursine omnivore defacate in the arbor?
Does Valerie Jarrett have a stack of files on John Roberts?
Remove the Supreme Court and All Politicians exception from Obamacare and see how fast they KILL or FIX it
Don’t underestimate them. I think they have time to issue at least two, and maybe THREE more unconstitutional ObamaCare rulings before his term is up.
‘The Fix’ is (was) in.
Next question.
From the Court site:
“The Supreme Court has added a non-argument session for the announcement of opinions on Thursday, June 18, 2015, at 10 a.m.”
So tomorrow may be a big day come 10:00 eastern daylight time.
The issue before the Court is a Federal question, as it involves a federal statute. It is not a Constitutional Question. The Court already wrongly found Obamacare, as constructed, to be Constitutional.(a tax)
I predict it will find in a 6-3 vote that the statute is ambiguous, but under agency principles and the Cheveron doctrine, the IRS “interpretation” of the applicable provisions is consistent with the “intent” of Congress, and thus deserving of deference. (it could be 5-4, but I will go with 6-3 — Kennedy and Roberts joining)
I disagree with that outcome, but that is my guess.

The die is cast either way . . .
More specifically, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified in broad terms that insurance policies are a contract, not commerce. Congress therefore has no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance, regardless if the parties agreeing to the contract belong to different states.
”4. The issuing of a policy of insurance is not a transaction of commerce [emphasis added] within the meaning of the latter of the two clauses, even though the parties be domiciled in different States, but is a simple contract of indemnity against loss.” — Paul v. Virginia, 1869. (The corrupt feds have no Commerce Clause (1.8.3) power to regulate insurance.)
And here are excerpts from other case opinions which Obama’s activist justices wrongly ignored when they gave the green light to Obamacare, these excerpts clearly indicating that the states have never delegated to corrupt Congress, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously [emphases added] beyond the power of Congress.” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
The reason that Obamacare was irresponsibly signed into law is this imo. As a consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, the corrupt Senate did not do its job to kill the bill that established Obamacare, the bill wrongly stealing the unique, 10th Amendment-protected powers of the states to establish their own healthcare programs, RomneyCare an example.
And not only did the Senate wrongly pass unconstitutional Obamacare, but the Senate then confirms activist justices who declare unconstitutional laws like Obamacare to be constitutional.
What a racket!
And corrupt presidents and justices don’t have to worry about getting impeached by the House because the corrupt Senate is not going to lift a finger to remove them from office.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear and corrupt senators, a lawless president and activist justices along with it.
