There is no loophole in the Constitution that makes an exception for unconstitutional laws that are inconvenient or politically problematic or will cause “chaos in the marketplace.”
Blaming Republican governors and legislatures requires several steps in critical thinking. Most people will not get beyond the first step which is an understanding that it’s called Obamacare because he owns it.
The question asks who will be “blamed”, ignoring the fact that most people who have to be forced to purchase a product don’t mind when the force is removed. Conservatives would happily take the credit, in the unlikely event that the Supreme Court rules based on the Constitution and not based on politics.
No need to worry. Roberts is willing to take the heat from constitutional conservatives for bad decisions, but he is not willing to stand up against the leftist bandwagon of the media. Roberts will vote with the majority that regardless of what the law actually said, what Congress meant to say was exactly the opposite. He will not upset the apple cart. We are stuck with this monstrosity? Roberts was another Bush disappointment.
Why do these moonbats think that there will be blame that does not go to obamacare? They don't, they are just doing wishful thinking.
The assumption in the article is that a ruling against subsidies for states without exchanges would be the end of it. But how can a law be constitutional that doles out entitlements to citizens of some states but not others? Logically, that is not equal treatment under the law, so the entire subsidy system would have to be ended — not just in free states, but slave states as well.
The slavers will seek to blame conservatives for the loss of handouts, but it is the Democrat governments of those states that will feel the dependents’ wrath. Conservatives were not going to get those votes anyway.
The subsidies were set up as bait and switch anyway. The suckers who set up the exchanges are in it up to their eyeballs.
Do you think any Republican will have the political courage to stand up and say, "look to Obama for ways to fix this problem, it's HIS baby."
The Obamacare law was written that way to force states to create health care exchanges and that is clear both from the law and from Prof. Gruber’s revelations about how the law was created to hide the facts from the stupid American people.
