some healthcare experts? all of my doctors want to see this thing die as soon as possible.
They have already decided - they are just writing it up now. In the past it has been alleged that Justice Sonia Sotomayor leaks decisions to the President. Starting last week, the President went on an offensive describing the chaos which would ensue if the ruling goes against them. I therefore conclude that the ruling has gone against them and they are trying to apply pressure for a last minute change (they believe this worked in the original Obama Care ruling with Judge Roberts).
Pray that the justices hold their ground!!
Tomorrow could be the day, but it’s more likely to be another Monday later in June.
I just hope the hand-wringers and ‘RAT-lites among the Congressional Republican don’t come out of the closet and try to rescue Obamacare from this potential wound.
Of course, it’s always possible that the Supremes will say “black is white” and the law doesn’t mean what it CLEARLY says.
if the supremes duck this one, they invite being pitched poorly written liberal laws from here until eternity.
Do not expect much from SCOTUS
They in the political status-quo business, not promoting plain interpretations of the Constitutions, and certainly not in the business of limiting government in any way.
Meh. They'll puss out as usual. Roberts will vote with the tyrants if need be.
There are no stakes. Obama wins either way. A bigger win for Obamacare is if subsidies are gone and the Republicans bail out the subsidies, as announced.
Balderdash. Both wings of the uniparty agree on deathcare, and its not going anywhere. Even if by some miracle the courts invalidate portions of ithe subsidies, you can rest assured that the gop and rats will be rushing to replace them.
I do hope the courts toss the subsidies. Not because I have some naive hope that it will end deathcare, but because it will be immensely entertaining to see the gop faction twisting itself intto a pretzel to figure out a way to keep the subsidies and preserve deathcare in spite of their lofty rhetoric to the contrary.
Don’t we all know by now that the SC is too chickenshit to overturn Obiecare no matter what is or isn’t constitutional?
I believe that the administration’s fear is that if there is a ruling against the ACA, the uprising over it really want be that big. Thus proving that there numbers of the truly needy are inflated. The vast majority of people will just go on and get their insurance somewhere else.
Once you let the genie out if the bottle...
So what’s next if/when both homosexual marriage and obamacare are decided against the Constitution? It seems likely. Oncwe bought can Roberts render himself UNbought?
“It’s unclear how the court will rule” Um, so long as the regime holds the pirate Roberts’ blackmail file, it is quite clear how the court will rule. This is pure kabuki theater.
