Re: SCOTUS LIVEBLOG - Obamacare Mandate Survives [W:125, 384, 635, 652]
The court upheld a long standing principle of corporate citizenship on the finance issue, long before that decision the government held that corporations were made up of people so they had the rights of such. I don't agree or disagree with that ruling, it was a restate of a long standing legal position.So I take it with 800+ replies we get conservatives who are lambasting the Justices for getting the constitution or the shape of government wrong while they hailed the sense of the decisions coming beforehand like campaign finance.
The big problem here is that on one hand the constitution was upheld but on the other a back door was just created to invalidate the rights upheld.Then liberals here must be praising the court for its sensibility over the shape of government after calling into question their legitimacy regarding such matters as campaign finance.
