#1 So the question now is, will they just let Obamacare die as it is now no longer sustainable?

Or will Obumble and his crew do every illegal thing they can to keep shoveling money on this burning wreck?

I think the answer will be known after November 11th.

#2 It will be appealed to the full court and this finding will be reversed.

#3 Just a minor bump in the road towards full Socialized Medicine.

Can't wait until the bar set by the VA goes universal (except for our patrician class).

#4 Isn't it interesting that the political affiliation of the judges is always front and center when a leftist cause is struck down in court. They never mention the liberal majority when they win a case but it is always the bad old Republican appointees.

Also it is sad that the political affiliation or affiliation of whoever appointed the judge has anything to do with their judicial review of the merits of the case.

Yep I am being a bit naïve.

#5 BC, this is now going to the full court, which has 4 Bumble appointees, 3 of which were added after Harry Reid invoked the nuclear option. Think that will be mentioned by the LSM?

#6 4th Circuit ruled the opposite way late this morning. Curious how both circuit court decisions came out the same day. Now the DC circuit can't stay the IRS while they wait on appeal.

#7 The problem for Obama on this case is that it is so very clear that a first year affirmative action law student can read the law as it is written and understand which exchanges are eligible for subsidies. However that in itself does not guarantee a just decision.

#8 The Coincidence of Barack Hussein Obama

Any one of these 'coincidences', when taken singularly appear to not mean much; but when taken as a whole, a computer would blow a main circuit if you asked it to calculate the odds that they have occurred by chance alone.

Sit back, get a favorite beverage, and then read and ponder the Obama-related 'coincidences' ... then super-impose the bigger picture of most recent events i.e.

Fast and furious, Benghazi, the IRS scandal and the NSA revelations ... then PRAY for our country.

Barack Hussein Obama just happened to know 60’s far-left radical revolutionary, William Ayers, whose father, just happened to be Thomas Ayers, who just happened to be a close friend of Obama’s Communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, who just happened to work at the Communist-sympathizing, Chicago Defender with Vernon Jarrett, who just happened to later become the father-in-law of Iranian-born leftist Valerie Jarrett.

Barack Hussein Obama, when elected, just happened to choose Valerie Jarett,as his closest White House advisor. She just happened to have been CEO of Habitat Company, which just happened to manage public housing in Chicago, which just happened to get millions of dollars from the Illinois state legislature. It also just happened not to properly maintain the housing—which eventually just happened to require demolition.

Valerie Jarrett also just happened to work for the City of Chicago, and just happened to hire Michelle La Vaughan Robinson (later Mrs. Obama), who just happened to have worked at the Sidley Austin law firm, where former fugitive from the FBI Bernadine Dohrn also just happened to work, and where Barack Obama just happened to get a summer job.

Bernardine Dohrn just happened to be married toWilliam Ayers, with whom she just happened to have hidden from the FBI at a San Francisco marina, along with Donald Warden, who just happened to change his name to Khalid al-Mansour. Warden/al-Mansour just happened to be a mentor of Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and a close associate of Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. Al-Mansour also just happened to be financial adviser to a Saudi Prince, who just happened to donate cash to Harvard, a school to which Obama just happened to get a critical letter of recommendation from Percy Sutton.

Sutton just happened to have been the attorney for Malcolm X, who just happened to know Kenyan politician, Tom Mboya, who just happened to be a close friend of Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., who just happened to meet Malcolm X when he traveled to Kenya.

Obama, Sr. just happened to have his education at the University of Hawaii paid for by the Laubach Literacy Institute, which just happened to have been supported by Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, who just happened to be a friend of Malcolm X, who just happened to have been associated with the Nation of Islam, which was later headed by Louis Farrakhan.

Farrakhan just happens to live very close to Obama’s Chicago mansion, which also just happens to be located very close to the residence of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who just happen to have been occasional baby-sitters for Malia and Sasha Obama, whose parents just happened to have no concern exposing their daughters to bomb-making communists.

After attending Occidental College and Columbia University, where he just happened to have foreign, Muslim roommates, Obama moved to Chicago to work for the Industrial Areas Foundation, an organization that just happened to have been founded by Marxist and radical agitator Saul “the Red” Alinsky, author of Rules for Radicals.

Saul Alinsky just happened to be the topic of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s thesis at Wellesley College, and Obama’s $25,000 salary at IAF just happened to be funded by a grant from the Woods Fund, which was founded by the Woods family, whose Sahara Coal company just happened to provide coal to Commonwealth Edison, whose CEO just happened to be Thomas Ayers, whose son William Ayers just happened to serve on the board of the Woods Fund, along with Obama.

Obama also worked on voter registration drives in Chicago in the 1980s; and just happened to work with leftist political groups like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Socialist International (SI), through which Obama met Carl Davidson, who just happened to travel to Cuba during the Vietnam War to sabotage the U.S. war effort, and who just happened to be a former member of the SDS (leftist group, “Students for a Democratic Society) and a member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, which just happened to sponsor a 2002 anti-war rally at which Obama spoke.

This Anti- war Rally just happened to have been organized by Marilyn Katz, a former SDS activist and later public relations consultant who just happened to be a long-time friend of Obama’s political hatchet man, David Axelrod.

Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), whose pastor was Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a fiery orator who just happened to preach Marxism and Black Liberation Theology and who delivered anti-white, anti-Jew, and anti-American sermons, which Obama just happened never to hear because he just happened to miss church only on the days when Wright was at his “most enthusiastic!”

Obama just happened never to notice that Oprah Winfrey left the church because it was too radical, and just happened never to notice that the church gave the vile anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, a lifetime achievement award.

Although no one had ever heard of him at the time,Obama just happened to receive an impossible-to-believe $125,000 advance to write a book about race relations, which he just happened to fail to write, while using the cash to vacation in Bali with his wife Michelle. And, despite his record of non-writing, he just happened to receive a second advance, for $40,000, from another publisher, and he eventually completed a manuscript called Dreams From My Father, which just happened to strongly reflect the writing style of William Ayers, who just happened to trample on an American flag for the cover photograph of the popular Chicago magazine, which Obama just happened never to see, even though it appeared on newsstands throughout the city.

Obama was hired by the law firm Miner, Banhill and Galland, which just happened to specialize in negotiating state government contracts to develop low-income housing, and which just happened to deal with now-imprisoned Tony Rezko and his firm Rezar, and with slumlord Valerie Jarrett, and the law firm’s Judson Miner just happened to have been a classmate of Bernardine Dohrn, wife ofWilliam Ayers.

In 1994, Obama represented ACORN and another plaintiff in a lawsuit against Citibank for denying mortgages to blacks (Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Federal Savings Bank), and the lawsuit just happened to result in banks being blackmailed into approving subprime loans for poor credit risks, a trend which just happened to spread nationwide, and which just happened to lead to the collapse of the housing bubble, which just happened to help Obama defeat John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.

In 1996, Obama ran for the Illinois State Senate and joined the “New Party,” which just happened to promote Marxism, and Obama was supported by Dr. Quentin Yong, a Socialist who just happened to support a government takeover of the health care system.

In late 1999, Barack Hussein Obama purportedly engaged in homosexual activities and cocaine-snorting in the back of a limousine with a man named Larry Sinclair, who claims he was contacted in late 2007 by Donald Young, who just happened to be the gay choir director of Obama’s Chicago church, and who shared information with Sinclair about Obama, and Young, who just happened to be murdered on December 23, 2007, just weeks after Larry Bland, another gay member of the church, who just happened to be murdered.

Both murders just happened to have never been solved. In 2008, Sinclair held a press conference to discuss his claims, and just happened to be arrested immediately after the event, based on a warrant issued by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who just happens to be the son of Joe Biden.

In 2003, Obama and his wife attended a dinner in honor of Rashid Khalidi, who just happened to be a former PLO operative, harsh critic of Israel, and advocate of Palestinian rights, who Obama claims he does not know, even though the Obamas just happened to have dined more than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and just happened to have used them as occasional baby-sitters.

Obama reportedly praised Khalidi at the decidedly anti-Semitic event, which William Ayers just happened to also attend. The event, which Obama pretends he never attended was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network, to which Obama just happened to have funneled cash while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with William Ayers.

One speaker at the dinner remarked that if Palestinians cannot secure a return of their land, Israel “will never see a day of peace.,” Entertainment at the dinner included a Muslim children’s dance whose performances just happened to include simulated beheadings with fake swords, and stomping onAmerican, Israeli, and British flags, and Obama allegedly told the audience that “Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine” and there has been “genocide against the Palestinian people by (the) Israelis.” The Los Angeles Times has a videotape of the event, but just happens to refuse to make it public.

#10 And if you think the Manchurian Candidate does not have a mooslim agenda, you are sadly mistaken.
