Pruitt v. Burwell: IRS's Illegal ObamaCare Taxes/Spending Suffer Another Defeat In Federal Court
2014-10-01
Posted by:Beavis

#6  The Supremes have had a few reasonable rulings lately. However, they certainly missed the boat when Roberts came up with the contorted opinion that the penalty for not signing up for O-Care was indeed a tax instead of a penalty. Even the Donks didn't interpret it that way when they wrote this odious piece of crap.

#5  The Supremes do not have the collective courage to completely overturn a major bill like this, no matter how clear the case is.

Besides, I really think Obama has something on Roberts to keep him in line.

#4  Which all means its up to the 9 Princes* of the Realm.

* as in unelected and unaccountable by the people and only subject to influence by the oligarchs of their faction (cause the written word means nothing to them).

#3  Used the exact words of the law (that no one read before voting in the bill) as evidence.
