Supreme Court Upholds Obama Health Care Subsidies[W:700]

Only the extremely stupid. People like you.
Ahh I see you no longer can discuss this matter politely. Shame, I was hopeing for a few more baseless generality statements.

You'll have to return to yer usual activity of playing with yerself. I won't waste any time after this post responding to yer childish twatery.
But you continue on never the less....

Only to morons.
Interesting...


And you are one.
:lamo

Oh yes, you've stated it. Yer wrong. Yer an idiot.
Please continue on... very nice...


I can choose to ignore you, and I will from now on.
By all means, since your argument so far on the subject matter has zero evidence or substance and is below coloring book level.

"Sweetie"? Yer confusing me with the man yer currently sleeping with.
So you disparage gay people too! Who knew!

It (sadly) benefits you as well. Yer too stupid to see that.


:popcorn2:
 
I think you leftist socialists should start voting for Republicans, they seem to do more for you than the people you elect.

Yeah, go figure. Maybe you reactionaries are so far out on the Right that yer policy preferences just can't be enacted. That's life in a democracy, I guess.
 
Oh whah. Conservatives are pissed because six out of nine justices refused to deny health insurance to millions of Americans over a minor drafting error.

The pain. The pain.

No, son. We are pissed because 6 justices acted as activist judges. Instead of interpreting the law, they in effect rewrote it.
 
If Hillary … the Repubs nominate one of their better candidates

Buthat candidate may get beat up pretty good in the primaries. And will the Right turn out for Jeb? Don't they want to keep proving that a moderate Republican can't win cuz they won't vote for him/her?
 
SCOTUS did the GOP a favor.

ObamaCare isn't going to morph into a good law. Its not going to get better or cheaper with time.

Its not going to turn into the lies and misrepresentations that the Democrat party and the President fed to the American citizens before they shoved this monstrosity down our throats.

Its substantial impact on the economy isn't going to diminish, and now its the Democrats law all over again.

If SCOTUS had ruled the other way it would be up to the GOP to " fix " the unfixable.

Then, anything and everything from that point on would have been blamed on the GOP.

Since they don't have a veto proof majority they couldn't have passed effective legislation anyway.

Lefties are celebrating ? Why ?

This law was so unpopular, so hated that it was unmentionable during the 2014 midterms by any Democrat that wanted to keep their jobs.

The left has short memories. They are the minority in both houses of congress largely due to obamacare. Yet they are celebrating.
 
I agree.... on one hand, we have a forward thinking party that actually gets things done; on the other hand we have a party that refuses to live in the reality of the present and continually tries to legislate us into the past. As one once said "When I want to go forward, I put the car in "D" and when I want to backup, I put the car in in "R", I find this works in the voting booth, as well."

Perhaps someday, the left will learn that "just any ole reform is not necessarily better then no reform. The ponzi scheme known as obamacare is still vastly unpopular......even the powerful democrat Chuckie Schumer has admitted as much. Reform was needed, however obamacare is an unmitigated disaster. Any politician that still favors obamacare is a "moron".
 
The problem is that it's the R's that keep creating the mess.

Amazing how the D's with total control of the Congress from 2007 to 2011 couldn't prevent Bush from creating the mess you claim he created. Guess the only way a Democrat can govern is with total control and a filibuster proof Senate because as we can see with you negotiation isn't even in the neighborhood let alone the house. Leadership is just another topic you know nothing about.
 
Did the Roberts/Kennedy Libertarian wing of the USSC just throw an electoral lifeline to the GOP--as they did with VRA and CU 1.0/2.0?
Surely they knew the GOP would explode apart with what to "REPLACE" ACA for millions.
Now, the GOP has their 2010/2014 issue intact without having to act .

Agreed. The court did the GOP a huge favor. The can continue to make hay out of this by confusing the ill-informed electorate, which they (and particularly Faux News) do so well...

Today's Chicago Tribune, a con/mod GOP paper, speaks of Roberts taking power away from the executive branch and
reversing the "Chevron" principle as a catch in the court's health care ruling.

They describe Robert's opinion a as masterwork of indirection, though not quite the level of Chief Justice Marshall in Marbury v. Madison.

Roberts is reestablishing that the USSC will determine what the law is, not the executive.

IMHO, I believe Roberts is telling both parties to legislate or he will .
 
...at this point, the GOP can not ever repeal this without a well articulated REPLACE. Since they will be unable to ever agree upon and articulate one, the PPACA is here to stay.

At least you are admitting that Hussein Obamacare can be repealed with a well articulated plan. That's a start.
 
I wouldn't be too proud of the fact that Republicans were happy to let people die for lack of health care. It's a sick chapter in American political life, and one Republicans should let fade away as quickly as possible.

Goofy leftwing talking points.
 
Yea, a realist and not an ideologue like the wingnuts of the court. I'm impressed.


Perhaps someday, you will learn that the US Supreme Court's job is to interpret that law....not write it....which is in fact what they did. Do study the Separation of Powers. The US Supreme Court is of the judicial branch. It is not supposed to be an extension of the legislative branch.

Repeal would be a very bad idea IMO. Given the subsidies will ever increase and the costs therefore of healthy people will ever increase, it will eventually become the failure the SCOTUS saved it from being multiple times now. If only Republicans would be smart and treat it like the collar around American's neck and when that collar becomes too heavy...
 
Even if Hillary wins, there are going to have to be changes.

The Obama lemmings haven't figured that out yet, and with the likely event of a Republican majority in congress, I would say Obama's version is headed for a toilet

Agreed. Even if not outright repealed, Obamacare will eventually wither and die under it's own weight. At some point, after numerous future rate increases for those not on subsidies, Americans will revolt and say: "Enough is enough."
 
Hey liberals, what about that right wing supreme court? Lol!
 
Yah! And maybe we'll be back to the good ol' days and take away health insurance from 20 million Americans and it'll be GREAT!!!!

That is based on another leftwing fable. There never were 20 million hardcore uninsured Americans prior to Obamacare. The figures that the libruls were using did not include the actual breakdowns.
 
So.when the SC Legalizes SSM and rules in favor of the ACA again somehow liberals still believe the SC is right wing. Fantastic! :lol:
 
Care to expand on that? The thing is, it's a three-legged stool. Remove one of the legs, it all topples.

--Everyone is covered. No exeptions for pre-existing conditions, etc.
--Everyone pays for their insurance. No free-loaders who jack up the costs for the rest of us.
--Subsidies for those who need help paying the premiums.

Those are the essentials. Everything else are add-ons.

You are kidding, right? The freeloaders are the ones accepting the subsidies. And the price has been jacked up for the rest of us.
 
That is classic sour grapes. Yes, all those activist judges appointed by conservatives that are lying in wait to write liberal legislation. Forgive my laughter. I know its rude.

I don't care who appointed them. They acted as activist judges. I do not give them a pass if they claim to be conservative or were appointed by a conservative. They did not interpret the law in regards to Obamacare, they in effect rewrote it. And I really do not give a damn about your laughter.

The reality is that if you bring a frivolous lawsuit, which this was, you get shot down 6 to 3, with the only 3 votes from activist justices. The only reason this went to the SOCTUS was so they could write a comprehensive decision to take away the idea that you could look to the courts to undo legislation. This is what they did: shut down the courts as a method of killing/hurting the PPACA.

You clearly do not have the foggiest clue about how the US Supreme Court is supposed to work. Nor do you have even a basic understanding of the Separation of Powers. What the US Supreme Court in effect did in regards to Obamacare, they became part of the legislative branch. Instead of interpreting the law, they altered it. That is not supposed to happen without it going back through the legislative process. In effect, the US Supreme Court just told the entire US population that their elected representatives do not matter.

Its time to work WITH the bill, as options to work against it are all but gone.

As long as we have a rogue president coupled with a rogue US Supreme Court Obamacare will remain. Obama is gone in early 2017. Anything is possible afterwards. Obamacare is unconstitutional. I will not support any politician who does not work to repeal the ponzi scheme.
 
It's not even close to being Constitutional, lol...

No rational, informed, honest person would conclude that it is Constitutional. Only corrupt, dishonest, activist jurists would approve it. Exhibit A: The SCOTUS. All 9 need to be impeached.

Actually just six of them need to be impeached. Thomas, Scalia, and Alito do their jobs as the constitution intended.
 
Are you saying the conservative SCOTUS is legislating from the bench?

Is that the best you can do? You are showing yourself to be the real partisan. Real conservatives do not give a justice a pass on bad decisions due to party affiliation. If a decision is wrong......it is wrong.
