Looks like Trump can trade an Obamacare fix (on his terms) for a Wall.

Wow. This is a pretty big deal!


It’s moot. Dems control the House and GOP big donors love socialized medicine. Some flavor of Obamacare is here to stay, unfortunately.

I agree with you. Roberts have been a lot more conservative on many issues.

He’s still way better than any of the liberals on the court.


Nope. Just as a bad. We’ll never defeat rampaging fascists with a fifth column in our ranks that gives aid and comfort to the enemy.

People around here tend to exaggerate and assume the worst about Roberts. He’s still way better than any of the liberals on the court.

It would be very nice if you are correct.

The Deep State has less power to pressure people than it did before.

Hardly moot if the decision is upheld.

If it is ruled unconsitutional, it is back to the drawing board.

The old system will never pass the new Senate. Trump will never sign it.

An overreaching judge on our side for a change.

I agree with you.

Even his landmark ruling that "declared Obamacare constitutional" was no such thing. It was actually a fairly narrow ruling that declared the individual mandate to be a legitimate form of taxation.

And ironically, that ruling may effectively be the undoing of Obamacare once the individual mandate "penalty" was reduced to $0.

Dem House will re-institute it, ball-less GOP Senate will approve it.

no question about that.
I’m guessing if this gets as far as SCOTUS, Roberts has to side with Conservatives.
Congress basically revoked his rewrite of Obama Care.

Right. That's why he authored the infamous decision in the Obergefell case that made same-sex "marriage" the law of the land.

Oh, wait a minute ... He didn't do that.

Must not have been one of those “Obama judges,” eh Roberts?

Supreme Court can’t say much either. Their basis of constitutional opinion has been removed.

What’s that loud knocking noise coming from John McCain’s gravesite? Is something trying to get out?
