Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10321326 A TAX. That will weigh heavily during the election totally illogical argument based on the possibility that 1. romney wins the election,2. the senate has the votes to repeal it and 3. romney really would repeal it if he becomes pres. No, roberts would not do this unless he was forced to. He would not sell his integrity for such what ifs. He did not sell any integrity. They argued it as tax,but, they "sold" it as a mandate. He clarified that he agreed it was a tax. Now they must own the largest largest tax increase ever. Arguing it as a tax was their last fight. A mere 21 lines devoted to arguing that it was a tax. I think the dissenters got it correct - congress was not mistaken in the choice of words they used - in fact they said "penalty" 18 times. And Roberts defends that by saying he was only correcting their misuse of words - they really meant to say "tax". The supreme court cannot rewrite the legislation and that is exactly what they did. |

Ultimately, that will be the biggest effect of the ruling. The law is badly written, grossly expensive, administratively impossible, and does nothing to actually improve health care or reduce costs. It creates a panel of 15 who will decide just what care patients can have -- in other words, just how health care will be rationed. Most people want it trashed and replaced with something that is far simpler and actual reforms both the insurance industry and the legal malpractice laws. |

Quoting: Roberta is a Pussy! 6518327 I'm not sniveling. I'm trying to find out why a non-libtard judge went full retard into judicial misconduct of the impeachable variety. Would you snivel if you hired a supposedly professional electrician to install a light switch, and the first time you used it, it blew up and burned your house down? |
