There is an Obamacare hearing somewhere today, they brought it up a lot during the ACB hearings. I haven't followed it more than that so someone might have context to add.
It had a tax IN it. It would have been no trouble at all for the Supreme Court to strike down Obamacare on the basis everything ELSE in it that was NOT a tax.
Mostly unrelated side note: I'm pretty sure the goal of Obamacare was NOT to give people health INSURANCE. It was to give people health CARE. So why not skip the insurance part completely and go straight to the care? Cut out the fucking middleman. That one thing, right there, is proof to me that the whole thing was political bullshit. Probably they set it up that way so that if anything went wrong with the system, the Democrats could blame the insurance companies.
Isn't doing the right thing when other branches fail to kind of the whole point of checks and balances in the separate but equal branches of government?
Thank god we finally have a 5/4 majority. A reporter should ask him. If the Congress decided to make slavery legal and then refused to strike it down themselves would that mean he shouldn't rule against slavery?
Apparently there is a piece of the ACA before the court today. Decision on what is being presented today is due by June. Libs are hand-wringing that the "6-3" conservative makeup will strike down ACA finally.
They are arguing that the legislature more accurately reflects the will of the people. Same argument that will be used to overturn these election changes made by exec branch and judicial branch in PA.
Accurate. They went around the legislatures - and when it ended up before state court, they upheld the tyranny of the governors. US Supreme Court will weigh in and will not uphold the state court ruling. Voting and how it is conducted stays with the legislature as it more closely reflects and is answerable to the will of the people. COVID is not a good enough reason for these changes. CDC even said you could vote IN PERSON if you had COVID because it is our constitutional right. Trump wins. They know it. They are just running the only play they have.
Not up to them - up to existing law. Point is the changes didn’t go through a legislative process. Existing law should prevail over the changes made without the consent of the people.
It is your JOB to determine if it is constitutional. THAT IS ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
laughs in 5-4
His days of being the “deciding vote” are done.
Mr. Irrelevant: 2020
They're hearing arguments on the ACA today

Also that constitutional laws are followed.
At least at the judicial level, not the executive.

Comprimised
We can still win 5-4 without Roberts.
We didn't lose Roberts, he was never on our side to begin with.
Roberts is a traitor, and that's not the sort of list you want to be on.
Roberts can choke on a bag of d*cks
That is all

There was a science behind Trump's depth chart when it came to SCOTUS picks.
Who gives a fuck what this corrupt asshole says?
Striking down that which is unconstitutional IS your job, Roberts.
IT IS LITERALLY YOUR ONLY JOB YOU FUCKINH SCUM
Wasn't his JOB to go to Epstein Island, but he went anyway. Probably liked it...
That's literally his entire job.

Robert's is the same asshole who said in his dissent that "I didn't want it to seem partisan, so I said it's legal..."
So John Roberts doesn't believe in separation of powers? John Roberts thinks that Congress can pass any law they want?
