SCOTUS Upholds ACA Subsidies (King v Burwell)

[brickboy240]

No kidding. I have my supplies and ammo...let's get this American crash over with while I am still young enough to help in the recovery!

The slow and painful path is growing old.

This Santaclausocrasy isn't sustainable anywhere. A couple of quarters of GDP revised to negative with the only "growth" being spending for Obamacare should be a warning if there were any adults in the room. Yet the future, with either party in charge, likely won't change. Charles Hughes-Smith's Neofeudalism Principle #1:: "If the citizenry cannot replace a dysfunctional government and/or limit the power of the financial Aristocracy at the ballot box, the nation is a democracy in name only." We are now just a democracy in name only.

Well, back to work. All those lazy ****ers need someone to prop them up and pay their "subsidies" so they keep voting for subsidies. Welcome to the U.S. of Assholes - the unholy union of statism, corruption, and fraud.

... and the next natural order of things will be for Hillary to be appointed President.

Wanna bet they uphold gay marriage as well?

Yes, us getting Hillary next is almost a done deal. The GOP will nominate Jeb and he will go down in flames as big media makes him squirm over his views on gays, abortion and maybe rape or something else silly. You think they nit-picked on Romney...you just wait.

The media will get Hillary elected. When you control the messaging...sadly...you control the election.

Keep storing up guns, mags and ammo....

It is her turn, don't you know. The wise and benevolent overlords have made their choice.

Hard to put an exact date on it, but there's hundreds of nails in its coffin now.

Those of us who try to believe in some principle of law greater than a fraud that some con-artists in DC can pretend they got 51% support for will need to refocus on something positive.

I just say that because of what it does to separation of powers. SCOTUS is now in the business of writing laws wholesale. If a law is drafted poorly so it won't work, no problem, just ignore the plain meaning instead of ruling as the plain language requires and letting congress fix it.

nova, I agree. But this isn't the only or very first time. Maybe the Republic has been dead for years now? I think that historians 200+ years from now will probably look at 1988-2000 as the last years of the Republic, 2001-2010 (or so) as the start of empire, and 2011-onward (who knows) as fully imperial. We still have the window dressing of a Constitutional republic, but that's not how things function today.

So when will we begin to follow the words of Thomas Jefferson and begin refreshing the Tree of Liberty?

[jpmuscle]

I have no words.... Ugh..

[Phillygunguy]

With Republicans like Roberts and most of the GOP who needs Democrats?
