Another freedom taken by the Obama administration.

Another loss for the American Taxpayer who is forced support another entitlement.

Thanks loads SC.

Another loss for conservatives trying to take away peoples healthcare

And another win for the American people.



However, I don't think this means the Repub governors will let their poor have health care.

Surely you can cough up a link to prove that nonsense.

6-3 decision.

It wasn't even that close.

So basically if a law is big enough, and poorly written enough, it can't be overturned no matter how much the court realizes the wording was explicit to the States?

 

[Freewill]

Once again the SCOTUS tells us something doesn't say what it says.

Maybe the name should be changed to SCOTUSCARE or Robertscare

When do I get my subsidizes? When do I get anything from the feds? Oh right, I get a bill from them.

Isn't it a little early to be drunk?

Or can you post proof that President Obama threatened the lives of SCOTUS?

Idiot.

Once again the pettyness of Republicans trying to hurt 6 million Americans just so they can continue their hatred of Obama gets slapped down

So basically if a law is big enough, and poorly written enough, it can't be overturned no matter how much the court realizes the wording was explicit to the States?

From the decision:

If the statutory language is plain, the Court must enforce it according to its terms. But oftentimes the meaning—or ambiguity—of certain words or phrases may only become evident when placed in context. So when deciding whether the language is plain, the Court must read the words “in their context and with a view to their place in the overall statutory scheme.”

So basically the Chief Justice stretched as much as he could to save the law, even though he knows they screwed up on the language.

It depends what the incentive is. "We know where your family is." Can be a huge incentive.

Four words

A petty attempt by Republicans to hurt Americans just so they can destroy Obamacare

Hairballs.

All she ever coughs up is hairballs.

As crazy as she is, this is way over the top.

Meh, at this point what is one more factor to bankrupt the nation in the name of "for the good of the people"? Face it, we're toast.
