Obama won, and you lost.

So you only agree with SCOTUS when they agree with you
That flaming liberal Roberts!

 

[Wok]

CNN just announced the mandate is struck down.

Welcome to despotism.

Yeah, it's not like the law can be, you know, repealed by Congress or anything, the same way it was passed by Congress.


I am very surprised it was 5-4 with Roberts on the "left." I would wager we haven't had that breakdown in any case since he's been on the Court.

 

[Wok]

CNN is wrong.

I am looking at a FOX News feed now.

Well. All is not lost. Maybe the GOP wont authorize the tax.

"Amy Howe: The court reinforces that individuals can simply refuse to pay the tax and not comply with the mandate."

And what... go to jail?

When has a citizen "simply" refused to pay income tax and not landed in prison?

I am surprised the mandate held up.

 

[Byron In Exile]

"Amy Howe: On the Medicaid issue, a majority of the Court holds that the Medicaid expansion is constitutional but that it w/b unconstitutional for the federal government to withhold Medicaid funds for non-compliance with the expansion provisions."

We're through the looking-glass here, people...

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Boner said he will immediately move to repeal.

Good.

Roberts is correct in the sense that Congress can tax you for FICA and Medicare etc. And it can tax you for healthcare.

Plus Roberts slew the monster within the commerce mandate. Congress cant make you buy broccoli unless they do it with a tax.

Obama said it wasn't a tax.

First he said it was, then he said it wasn't. Republicans have also argued both sides though.

How are you doing today by the way, Vette? Ready to eat a mountain of crow? How many times in your post history did you call Obamacare unconstitutional? Literally hundreds I imagine. You must feel terrible.

By the way, stfu and go buy insurance. Because your very own party's Chief Justice says that it's okay for Obama to make you do it. How's that feel?

"Amy Howe: The court reinforces that individuals can simply refuse to pay the tax and not comply with the mandate."

And what... go to jail?

iirc, is the mandate enforced by the IRS? *googles

 

[Byron In Exile]

Is this not a confusing ruling?

A big white rabbit with a pocket watch exclaiming he's late for something very important?

Who would be confused by that?

The penalty will be.

Eliminate the "Supreme (so called) COURT"

 

[mercury14]

Boner said he will immediately move to repeal.

He's already done that remember? How did it work out?

Btw, you realize even if the Republicans sweep into power they'll still get their asses filibustered, right?
